Never so happy to not know what these good folks were talking about!

Good job! Less than 140 characters!>> ^Sagemind:

My life won't be confined by the parameters of Twitter!

I took part in a pain med experiment and whatever they tested on me was dreamy; no pain and coming to was delightful with a dentist from Jamaica whose accent made everything especially irey.

My brother, on the other hand, must have got the placebo because he was 100% awake when the dentist put his knee to my brother's chest to really yank those suckers out. Poor guy...

I'm sure the only way to ride when all those azalea bushes are in bloom.

I imagine it's probably Seth McFarlane doing the voices, as usual

This was required summer reading at my high school back in the 80's. I ended up writing my college app essay about him. Really has stuck with me.

Feynman was in fact, an expert safe cracker. He managed to crack almost every safe part of the Manhattan proj. and made a point of trying to bring to the heads attention how vulnerable the safes in fact were to being cracked. Their response? To instead have everyone change the codes and warn everyone about Feynman! Typical. Check out is autobiography. It's one hell of a read.


There are many books out there, this is my favorite one by far:
Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!

It might have been just a comfort squeeze on an involuntary chubby. this happens, too

here here. I don't have a typical fear of snakes or spiders, but something about centipedes just chills me to the base of my spine. Higher quality video would give me nightmares for sure...>> ^EMPIRE:

when I watch videos like these, it just makes me happy as hell I don't live in certain places of this planet.

This seems unreasonably risky... aren't there great cats out in that savannah who respond automatically to animals zipping by? I mean if mountain lions attack cyclists here in California...

As soon as I got to Tyrion in the books, I thought, "Man, there's only one guy I know who could play this." Maybe he's a little too handsome, but that's entertainment...

Why are capitol gains sacrosanct? It's not earned if it's been inherited and invested and reinvested. Capitol gains taxes are low now; why aren't they investing? Why aren't the banks loaning? Why was the economy humming along during the higher tax rates of the past?

Rich people's money is not more magical and productive than the rest of our money, unless we create and tolerate a system where rich people get special breaks and privileges.

Marky Mark guffawed, as well

The more I think about it, the more I feel that nearly ALL of our problems come from the fact that the real wages for most people have stagnated or gone down since 1980 while the folks on top have continued to increase their own income. If most of us were paid more, proportionally, tax revenue would not be a problem, nor would double income families be struggling to make ends meet.

I don't know how to legislate a solution. When I lived in Japan I was led to believe that CEO's only made 20 times the average worker because to make more would create resentment and social instability. This was a custom, not a law.

How do we get to a place in the US where most of us realize we all have to pull our own weight, including the fabulously uber-wealthy?

Is there a movie list for all that noise? I think I'd like to see some of those pictures.

Little does ghark know that "dust off the bonobo porn" is code for a truly depraved sexual act.
