[Cracked.com](http://Cracked.com) is running this on their front page right now, and it’s actually kind of interesting.

My favorite was the first one. If I ever run for office, I’m gonna start bulking up with [Weight Gain 4000](http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/149639/beefcake-beefcake).

Huh. My voting precinct has voted in a church for decades. The one just north of us used to vote in a public school, but now has to vote in that same church (.75 miles more out of the way) because voting in a school is supposedly now a “security risk.” I don’t know who came up with that idea, but I imagine they knew about the link between where one votes & how one votes.
