In addition to those named you could make a case for Datsyuk and Tavares, at least one of the Sharks (Thornton and Pavelski), and perhaps even Matt Duchene.

In addition to sloanbuller's comments elsewhere in this thread, there's a little bit of historical reasoning for funding Catholic schools. Essentially, at the time of Confederation, Catholicism and the French-Canadian identity were firmly intertwined, and the province of Quebec wanted to ensure that French-speaking…

I call bullshit. No Man's Land is one of the defining Batman stories (up there with Year One, Long Halloween, and The Dark Knight Returns in my opinion; others would add Killing Joke and Knightfall to that list) and is often included in lists of the greatest story arcs of all time.

Yep. I had a chem prof at university who brought the class powdered mini donuts, then during his lecture mentioned that we all just ate nanoparticles.

"Hardworking" (all one word) comes in at 1.61 for whites and 0.71 for blacks...

Sure, lets. Almost all the "most underrated" movies are either cult comedies (Super Troopers, Empire Records, Van Wilder, etc) or movies that at least partially targeted non-white audiences (such as the Tyler Perry flicks or Stomp the Yard). This chart says more about the demographics of critics than it does about how…

Some (but certainly not all!) of the restaurants I've worked at had dedicated chicken cutting boards. That practice never stuck for me at home though, I figure if some hot water and dish soap can't get rid of the e coli then I guess it was meant to happen.

Unless two individual matchups end at more or less the same time, and it goes to 4v4. I wonder how often that happens?

You're right that CORSI (like PDO) is more a descriptive than a predictive stat when used as a team-wide metric. It can tell us that the Leafs are in trouble for instance, but not what they can do to fix it (although I would suggest that there are some glaring holes in Carlyle's tactical schemes, that's more…

Yes but there's a difference between team PDO and individual shooting percentage. It's extremely unlikely that you'd be able to assemble a team that consists of enough players with significantly better-than-average S% players to drag up your team percentage by a considerable amount. I'm not sure the question of goalie…

I was not aware of this. Can you link me some info? I'm not doubting you I would just honestly like to know more.

And one more because I just love her music

I think I see her picture on the site, but I don't see the 2014 list anywhere. Either way, enjoy the song!

Ohhhh the smoked salmon one... I once worked the salad/apps station in the kitchen at a casual chain restaurant, and one our most popular orders was a salmon salad. The menu clearly said that it came with smoked salmon, but you couldn't go a week without having a server bring back the salad saying that the customer…

I once had a customer tell me that she didn't like the Tartar sauce, and demanded some without mayonnaise in it.

I prefer the home darks, but I say let the home team decide! We're well past the point where teams don't have the budget to travel with both sets of uniforms.

As others have said, there's no problem with the sample size. 10,000 is plenty for a population the size of the US if it's independent and representative. In this case, it is not really either of these things, which is what gets Neilsen in trouble.

I would argue that the concept of Outsourced was not as blatantly racist as this. I mean, there was a ton of potential for the characters to be racist stereotypes (and many were!) but the concept could totally have been pulled off without being offensive. In this case, the entire premise of the show relies upon scary…

Something interesting to see would be if there are some common "shapes" to the tracks in the 5-10 seconds preceding a made basket.

I've also heard the argument made (and I'm not totally on board with this but I can see the logic at least) that Twilight works in a feminist sense since it is, at its core, about a female character pursuing what SHE wants, often in a single-minded way. There aren't a ton of movies in Hollywood about a girl or woman…
