Video games are giving kids unrealistic standards for how many weapons they can carry at one time.

^^A4^^

People all over the world are just as sure that their God is the real God as you are that yours is the real God. Think about that.

I've thought about it a lot and have come to the only logical conclusion.

Forget silver weapons, to kill a werewolf just feed them chocolate.

I guy in a bar hit on me so I gestured to my wedding ring but I had forgotten to wear it so he thought I wanted him to propose to me. It turns out that worked even better at getting rid of him.

I'm all in favor of such things. Minimize the office visits for the minor stuff.

It's past time for term limits.

Clearest picture of Mercury ever, NASA

That was produced by using images from the color-based map imaging campaign during NASA's Messenger 4-year primary mission. Image released Feb. 18, 2013. The actual color of Mercury is gray. The mission determined Mercury’s surface composition, revealed its geological history, discovered details about its internal magnetic field, and verified its polar deposits are dominantly water-ice. The mission ended when Messenger slammed into Mercury’s surface.

*There were doubts about that.

Gasoline Trick

As I understand it, an inch of gasoline in the bottom of the bucket knocks the wasps out of the air.

^^C9^^

Some people live in ancient places and pass sights like this every day.

Americans pass this every day...

I wonder what being disconnected from one's past does to one's mindset.

^^C10^^

One of the frames seemed to show the scrapes from the rearview mirrors.

This is...

The Porta Nigra (Black Gate) is Trier’s landmark. The Romans built it in the 2nd century AD out of huge sandstone blocks that weighed up to 6 tons and were held together by iron clamps.

I lived right down the road from that and spent a lot of time in Trier. Back then the highway went right through those arches and the walls of that ancient structure were beat to shit by the rearview mirror scraps.

Plus it's a hell of a segue.

^^C11^^

When you read this straighten your back. You are doing lasting damage to your spine.

Puzzle. Time: please tell me that is true.
I can't believe the producer, the cameraman, the other news anchors, the weather man, and a guy holding the microphone did not notice this and say something to that woman.

That's the result of doing things as cheaply as possible with very little consideration for aesthetics. There are some nice places in the US. Many countries have regulations wrt how things have to fit in and look.

Oh well, at least somebody saved a few dollars.
