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.

I came away from that marveling at the gravitas Charles Dance brings to the role, and at what an amazing actor he is. That feeling was only reinforced in season 3 watching him verbally joust with Diana Rigg (who should've won an Emmy for that). However, now that season 4 has rolled around, and Arya's scenes with the…

My money's on Rickon. The littlest little brother.

"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.

Yes. This for sure. First thing that came to mind (well, aside from Jar Jar). Making him into a recurring character that played important plot roles as the series developed was just a baffling decision.

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

DC has to flinch. Even if they "win" the weekend the head to head competition hurts both movies, and by extension that harms DC/Warner a lot more than it does Marvel. DC is all in on Batman/Superman, it's the linchpin of all their live-action efforts, and they don't just need it to be profitable they need it to be an…

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…

Interesting. I guess it's one of those things where no one knows how it really would've turned out since Germany blinked first (or Hitler had a temper tantrum, depending on what account you go by)

Good article, but a note on #1: Germany certainly did have the air power to dominate the channel, especially before the Americans entered the war. The RAF was only weeks, months at the most, from being completely overwhelmed in the Battle of Britain when the Luftwaffe switched strategies and started focusing more on…

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!

For a few seconds I was convinced that the shot from Joe's gun when Rick head butted him had hit Carl. Now that would've been intense.
