I find it hilarious that she’s running for president with the pitch that she actually “did something” with her life and was “successful” as opposed to Clinton. I am still rather lukewarm on Clinton, but Christ, the woman has been an attorney, First Lady, senator and Secretary of State. She hasn’t exactly been screwing…

He’s a cardiologist and a surgeon. It’s unfortunate that he went down the quack wormhole as he was (is?) a talented surgeon who did a lot for the field. His position at Columbia is due to his work as a surgeon, not because he’s BFF with Oprah.

I thought I was the only one! I like them just fine in sauces, but I can’t stand eating them whole, cooked or raw. It’s a shame as I think they add a lot of color to dishes.

Yes, I am aware of that. It’s part of an old deal with Parliament. The family has to opt into it with the succession of a new king/queen. If the royals become private citizens, everything in the Crown Estate reverts back to the royal family. Why would a private family continue to allow their revenue to go to…

Except that they’re the legal owners of the Tower of London and a number of other landmarks. Also, they are one of the largest landowners in England. Currently, all of that revenu goes to Parliment due to a previous arrangement. If they become private citizens, all of that income will revert to them.

I’m frankly amazed that this many of them can read and write full sentences.

All of this.

Oh God THIS. I was 13-15 when I was really into Friends. I didn’t like Ross, but I was largely oblivious as to why. Rewatching the episodes has allowed me to pinpoint why I dislike him so much. He is so sexist and whiney. He’s controlling of Rachel, he’s rude to anyone who thinks differently from him and he’s horribly…

I wasn’t overly fond of her in the beginning, but she’s definitely grown on me.

The worst part of about this thread for me was that none of it was surprising. I could think of similar things that have happened to me or my friends.

I spent my chemistry study group today relating everything back to the Avengers (Thorium! Gamma rays!) This movie needs to come out so I can actually focus on school again

Seriously. It's just been me and my cat for a few years now. While my cat rarely upholds her end of the roommate agreement (bug killing), she never judges me for spending the entire afternoon eating goldfish and watch The Tudors (again).

If you can't settle on a single large object, try a collection of framed prints you like. I go to flea markets and buy old prints that look really cool when arranged together

The mutual curiosity between the whale and the scientists is adorable :)

My decision to watch Wolf Hall and GoT last night is sounding better and better. I was tempted by The Avengers, glad I decided to skip

I am honestly amazed that there aren’t more accidents involving the paparazzi. Given the lengths they go to get compromising pictures, I’m surprised there isn’t an incident a week. They’re dangerous not just for the celebrities but for the random people who happen to be around.

It’d be amazing. It would be the plot of Jaws, but, in place of the scene where they argue how to kill it, there’d be a scene where people debate whether or not it’s worth the effort.

Hey now, I watched the Shining towards the end of my 7 month stay in a hotel and found it incredibly cathartic.

My mother is a medical examiner. She has been a medical examiner for 25 years. She still has to prove herself to the old boys network of cops, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and other medical examiners.

My dad, holder of an MBA and degrees in zoology and engineering, wants to work at Home Depot when he retires. He likes the idea of helping people with their home improvement projects on the weekend. Moral of the story: Never assume :)
