He's still on a tour and selling out shows.

When my wife and I were on our honeymoon, we were taking a ferry from the Vancouver area out to Vancouver Island to visit Victoria. A family of Texans was on the ferry as well. Aside from the Texas t-shirts, they spent the WHOLE TRIP OUT commenting to each other how pretty it all was, but each time one of them did,…

Geez, this guy is inconvenient for Marine Le Pen and the Front National, isn't he? Her father, former FN head Jean-Marie Le Pen made a big point of saying that the Charlie Hebdo staff were the "enemies of the FN".

Except there was no episode 5 and 6 when Star Wars came out. Lucas hadn't really worked the whole thing out in advance. Leia being Luke's sister was added later, and and Vader as Luke's father wasn't a plot twist until they were writing Empire. The original drafts apparently didn't include it - Luke's ghost dad shows…

Actually, the well-to-do, with some justification, generally feel that abuses like this won't happen to them. It takes a lot of cases like this to get them worked up.

When you look at what some of the big schools rake in via football and basketball, look at the education the athletes get, and look at things like a chance of a lifetime of difficulties due to debilitating injury (especially in football - look at the data coming out about head injuries, even at the youth or secondary…

Honestly, some of them are probably mad that he's allowed to use the main entrance.

Too bad they won't do the NY to Israel route. The Haredi who have been harassing women into changing seats so they don't have to sit next to them would have found the perfect airline.

No wisdom teeth here - my mother doesn't have them either. And it's not just "that they didn't come in" - there's no trace of them on a dental x-ray.

It's a nice mutation to have.

A number of years ago, Sheryl Crow told the "Global Warming College Tour", which criss-crossed the country visiting different campuses, that to help the planet, they should use one square of toilet paper at a time unless things are really bad. While, in the abstract she might not be wrong (if perhaps impractical), the…

Still not as bad as the dumb*** photographers who suggest / agree to wedding shoots and other work on active railroad tracks, prompting this warning.

One hint for anyone trying to help out others is to remember how much it is you don't know about their experience. You may be genuinely personally outraged, but try to focus your efforts on empathy and support, and how those directly affected are feeling, rather than on how you're feeling. Use your feelings as a…

One big issue - in a lot of case - Princeton, Yale, etc., we're talking about organizations that have billions of dollars in their endowments. They're the .1% as well, and in some cases they're acting unethically and abusing the gift in a pretty high-handed way. And, honestly, they've got enough cash to deplete the…

It depends on the terms of the gift. Honestly, though, a number of Universities (Princeton comes to mind) have successfully defended themselves against donors (or their estates) suing because the terms of a gift were violated or the use was substantially altered. If the use of the money is still for the benefit of the…

I was about to post the same thing - glad I checked the comments first!

It's the word shape. That's why people often* read the I-80 signs for Scotrun, PA as "Scrotum" when they glance at it.

* By often, I mean that I've probably heard more than a dozen people independently mention this phenomenon over the years.

Weirdly, the total running time of Jeopardy, minus commercials, is more than the actual playing time in an NFL game. And the average NFL game has been padded out to be longer than the average MLB game.

Leaving Las Vegas was another one. I love that movie, but geez.

It's kind of hard for me to think of the NFL's parade of horrors without imagining the intro to Sick, Sad World from Daria. Except that it's real, and the stories aren't exaggerated.

Saw a picture of him without it. The beard may be an improvement.

Actually, the PROTECT Act banned non-real images (including computer generated) of sex acts including minors if they were too realistic and could be close to indistinguishable from the "real" thing. That was upheld, because the Supreme Court has always allowed for the banning of obscene content with no artistic merit.
