Boehner (heh...auto-correct wants to change that to “boner”) resigned because of the mounting political pressure from the Tea Party. If they can unseat someone as powerful as Boehner, they’ve made serious inroads. I could list all of the Tea Party aligned Republicans who helped take over the House and Senate...but I’m…

Don’t forget your kidney belts.

Wouldn’t running all wheel drive require MORE power from the engine crank? So, if the dyno is showing that particular drop going from 4 to 2, the crank HP may actually be quite a bit higher in 4 wheel mode. Something they can’t directly measure.

...And opportunistic parasites.

I don’t know about that...but it IS information I have never heard before and sounds DAMN USEFUL to help us rid our house of doggy odor.

I really like him. I remember both Colbert and Stewart’s initial shows and they were AWKWARD. Once they got their stride...well, you know the rest is history. Trevor has what it takes to find his stride.

I want to know how they came to the decision to use Haskell as the core code base. How has it worked out? What other languages did they try out before settling on Haskell?

I’ll be really disappointed if the ammo doesn’t have little crosses on it.

I used to think Bacon God worked in mysterious ways, then I saw bacon flavored bubble gum and realized his master plan is world domination. I’m OK with that. Hail Bacon!

That’s impressive. For a second there, I thought the OP pic was from a in game photo.
