Mailman 'delivered' ... with 13-year-old mum

Interesting story about Karl Malone's extracurricular activities, courtesy ESPN.com.

Quick summary:
- Malone fathered child while a sophomore at college with 13-year-old mother
- Refused to acknowledge this child
- Fathered two other children out of wedlock which he has acknowledged
- Unacknowledged child selected in recent NFL draft after taking up football only three years (previously had designs on being a hoopster like dad).

Another interesting link for those who remember that God-awful 'Don't Forget The Sunscreen' song from a few years ago: an anti-graduation address from the hilarious PJ O'Rourke:

2. Don't be an idealist!

Don't chain yourself to a redwood tree. Instead, be a corporate lawyer and make $500,000 a year. No matter how much you cheat the IRS, you'll still end up paying $100,000 in property, sales and excise taxes. That's $100,000 to schools, sewers, roads, firefighters and police. You'll be doing good for society. Does chaining yourself to a redwood tree do society $100,000 worth of good?

Last week? No passist for me, then.

What's the dog year-type equivalent for things on the interweb, ie if something appeared on the web a week ago, it's the equivalent of being 5 years old? :)
