remember yesterday?

omg, it just rained and rained and rained.

New York broke an all-time record for a one-day rainfall Sunday as up to 8 inches of water soaked the city, snarling trains and flooding roadways.

By 9 p.m., 7.7 inches of rain had fallen at Kennedy Airport.

It was the most recorded there in a single day since the National Weather Service began keeping records 116 years ago.

The heavy tropical rain is expected to continue Monday, and a flash flood warning is in effect until 9 p.m.

The normal rainfall for all of August in New York is 4 inches - which means the city was socked with two months worth of rain in a single day. (via)

see, joey? everyone's thinking it.

STATE COLLEGE, PA—Hospitalized after a receiver crashed into him on the field last Sunday, Joe Paterno’s return to practice Wednesday came as a vast relief to Penn State players, all of whom live in constant fear of being the one who inevitably kills the 84-year-old head coach.

“Every day we go to the field worried about which one of us will accidentally bump into Coach, cause his entire body to fall apart, and kill him,” senior defensive end Jack Crawford said. “There’s no doubt we are going to be the ones responsible for his death. That’s inevitable. It’s just a question of who and when."

“At this point, it’s part of the Happy Valley tradition," Crawford added. "No names on the jerseys, ringing the victory bell, and being very, very careful not to be the reason Coach Paterno dies." (via)

y'all might've heard about the hot new twitter, @CondeElevator, which broadcasts events and conversations witnessed in the elevators of conde nast's building in times square. it's become an internet hit, so of course the company (and everyone) is dilligently searching for its author. whoever's running the twitter has indicated that for fear of being fired, he or she is retiring.

this might be the best part:

Meanwhile, the Post points out that the feed is far more successful than many of Condé's own digital ventures. Since its launch on Saturday, it has already gathered 45,000 Twitter followers, which is more than twice that of Details (20,000) and approaching that of Allure (55,000) and Glamour (86,000). So basically, whoever is writing this thing should get promoted. (via)
