Thank god there was no Ei8ht

It doesn't matter because teaching creationism/intelligent design in schools is unconstitutional

You clearly missed the best Super Bowl ad

Racing Santader President Marcos Emmierto could not be reached for comment

I'm a native of Wisconsin, back when I was in school, it took well over a foot of snow for the district to cancel school. One day we got somewhere between 6 and 8 inches of snow just during the time we were in school, and the district never seriously considered closing or sending kids home early. They did however…

"I don't see the problem here"

I would love to see some sort of breakdown of prop bets as we approach the Super Bowl. For the reasonable ones anyway, betting on the coin flip doesn't really need to be broken down, but say there's a prop bet on which team will score a touchdown first. Looking at offensive production, defensive ability,…

Huh, you would expect someone to get better at shooting after moving to Detroit

I think there are two distinct issues here. Scientists being involved with politics and scientists being involved with policy. They tend to get conflated a lot, and certainly have some overlap, but I think the difference warrants a discussion. Getting involved with policy, I think everyone would argue is a good…

Working more than 40 hours is explicitly against the rules for non-salary employees (I work at a university). I don't know what the actual punishment would be, but I would assume I would just get a stern talking to from the boss and not be compensated for any work over 40 hours

Longer hours are actually prohibited where I work, I need special permission from the boss to work more than 40 hours. From what I have gathered, businesses outside of low wage industries frequently have a de facto requirement to work over 40 hours, as working 40 hours a week says to the boss that you "don't go above…

I won't detail my problems with the writing and editing, because others have already made those points far more eloquently than I have, but I also think that the point about Vanderbilt's suicide not being definitively caused by Hannan deserves to be expanded upon. We can't get inside Vanderbilt's head and know what…

This argument has always struck me as weird. No other business would be able to argue that minimum wage and labor laws should not apply to them because they wouldn't be profitable otherwise. I love watching college football and basketball as much as anyone, but if they can't find a way to keep afloat financially…

Ugh, but the frivolous love triangle was one of the worst parts of Helix, why are they doubling down on it?

"Honey, for the last time, Coach told me I need to work on my accuracy from the shotgun!"

Great article Tim. I would go one further and say that MLB and the Commissioner's Office specifically targeted A-Rod with the reasons you discussed above in mind. Rodriguez is the perfect test case for this strategy, because he probably did it and is nearly universally despised by fans, the media, and other players…

Relating to adult friendships, there's this

This seems far more scientific than my typical worm-related substance for fixing problems of the heart: tequila
