It seems like everyone who was even on one episode of Gilmore Girls has a story. Alan Blumenfeld was in four episodes as Rabbi David Barans, friend of Reverend Skinner (Jim Jansen). In his first appearance in season 3 of Gilmore Girls, Rabbi Barans’ left arm is in a cast, due to a real life injury Blumenfeld incurred. If you ever wondered why, Blumenfeld is still telling the story.

Blumenfeld was a guest on Scott Patterson’s I Am All In podcast on Jan. 11 to discuss his role on Gilmore Girls. Blumenfeld explained his cast and how nobody from the casting directors to the costume department noticed his arm was in a cast.

Blumenfeld didn’t break his arm. He had a much more specific injury that required him to wear a cast.

Pew Internet has released a report finding that income is the strongest predictor of whether, how often, and in what ways Americans use the web. The report adds nuance--and a few surprises--to existing research on America's digital divide. It even suggests the existence of a tipping point, where Internet use takes off at a certain income level.
A lot of this makes intuitive sense. After all, laptops and broadband cost money. But the Pew report finds that even among groups that own the necessary technology, less wealth equates to less (and less varied) Internet usage.
"Many of these households are not impoverished," the report's author, Jim Jansen, tells Fast Company. "Many do have the technology, but for variety of reasons do not engage in certain activities as frequently." It's predominantly the wealthy who take advantage of the benefits offered by the web--even though it's the less wealthy who could use them more.
