It has sorted it out...more commercials equal more revenue. Until ratings drop, meaning commercial prices drop, they have every reason to cram as many commercials in there as possible.

What would they look like? Would it be a boy? Would it be a girl? Their first step, saying 'daddy.' But those are just dreams, dreams that often haunt me.

I'm sure, as convincing as this portrait is to us, it was even more so for people of that time. Now, we have many examples of women with short hair, wearing "male" clothing, and acting as if they have some volition of their own, so it wouldn't be as hard to spot that this was a woman in disguise, or at least, it…

I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin in the 80s and 90s. A small rural school is probably not the best place to learn about diversity, but Wisconsin had a very good public school curriculum, and there were a lot of Hmong children whose parents had come to the US after Vietnam, so there was some diversity apparent.

I've just returned from an alternate universe, where the Calvin Johnson rule caused enough uproar that the NFL changed the rules. In that universe, Dez's catch was ruled complete, McCarthy didn't challenge it, knowing the rule had changed, leaving him with a challenge.

I came here to say this. After that call, the Packers were in "kill the clock" mode, and still managed to get to relatively easy field goal range. Had they needed to score a touchdown to win, they probably could have done so, but that assumes the Cowboys are able to convert a 2 point try, which the Packers showed…

I am often amazed by the amount of stupidity drivers exhibit when driving in snowy conditions here in Wisconsin, and I can't help but wonder if their short-term memories are impaired by too much alcohol and cheese...I mean, it snowed just a few days ago, don't you remember how to drive?

A lot of those old newspaper accounts are not available on the internet because someone would have to scan or type them in from the newspapers, and the necessity just isn't there. If you want to read newspapers from before the internet, your best bet is to go to your local library and look through the microfilms of…

Well, see, the fact of the matter is that the whole point of BttF II was all about changing the future, because it was pretty bad for Marty and his family. As anyone who has any experience with temporal mechanics and chaos theory will tell you, making a small change in the past will have ripple effects that will…

In Wisconsin, Red is usually whole, Dark Blue is usually 2% and skim is usually pink (though I have seen light blue). 1% is all over the board though. In places where skim is pink, 1% is sometimes light blue (which gets really confusing) but I've also seen green.

I thought everyone knew that the H in Jesus H Christ stood for Haploid. I mean, he only got the genes from his mother.

Also, please God: No more R-E-L-A-X references. If the Packers win the Super Bowl, that stupid tweet will be the first thing they mention in the NFL Films yearbook video. They are beating that tweet into the ground. It was not a magic tweet.

Everything I listed comes from animals (which is why Vegans won't eat them). Honey is made by bees and Cheddar is made from milk that comes from cows.

So, because a Vegan wouldn't eat it, that makes eggs meat and honey meat and Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay Biscuits meat...

It also has a "k" in the wrong spot.

I'm a male, so I'm obviously coming from a completely different set of experiences, but as far as I've seen (including with my wife's pregnancy and the birth of our daughter) most people weren't judgmental about my wife's choices about how to give birth. People told about their experiences, which, as first-time…

I used to justify my (younger) music pirating thusly: The content creators, i.e. the band/artist, get a mere pittance from the sale of a CD. Buying it doesn't put more money in their hands or more food in their stomachs. BUT, I am much more likely to take a chance on a new band if I can get their music for free. THEN,…

The thing with the zombie apocalypse is that, well, it would be over very quickly. The zombies would decompose, and we could pick up where we left off, only now there are a lot more job openings at the top of the corporate ladder, especially since most corporate headquarters are in the very places that would be…

Next time you talk to this guy, ask him about Jet Boots. You could use an electrical motor then, and keeping batteries on your back is much more energy dense than keeping fuel stored somewhere. But how large would a jet need to be to lift a human being? Most other issues would then be the same as with rockets.

My dream MMO, one I've wanted for nearly as long as I knew what an MMO was, is a time travel one. You create a character that can travel to a place in the far past, where it is similar to WOW, swords and sorcery things, then travel to a present-day type place where its like an FPS MMO, fighting a conventional war.…
