My sushi that I ordered on Seamless arrived in 13 minutes.  The sushi place is more than a mile away.  How did they do it? 

Pre-made rolls.

[Josquius]

Even made fresh sushi doesn't take long. Its not like you have to cook it.

Or....
All that data you have been feeding into google, facebook, etc... is going towards a complex algorithm that lets take away restaurants predict within a very small margin of error when you will order from them. They can thus begin preparing your order before you even make it.

It seems Italian footballer Mario Balotelli got some bad comments for sharing this:

Yeah. Unlike Jos I think the last line is fairly problematic. But we should move on pretty quickly. There's bigger issues of bigotry in football.

For example Dave Whelan, owner of Wigan, is being investigated by the FA for racist and anti-semitic remarks. I'm not sure he's taking the best approach to defending himself:

Dave Whelan: When I was growing up we used to call the Chinese 'chingalings'

He doesn't look at all Mexican.

[Ed Anger]

Balotelli needs to practice scoring and attacking the box instead of twittering.

He's got a tache.

Since when is clothes-swapping a diplomatic custom?

[Admiral Yi]

How do you know Hollande didn't bring that with him?

Since when is clothes-swapping a diplomatic custom?

It's been a crucial custom with all the UN members I've met.

What are those, Ferguson PD's new patrol cars?

Hollande... 
Officially, it's a gift from the Kazakh president.
