How ironic is it that the coach of another team who suckles at the teat of a single massive donor is on the monitor above the desk in the head coach's office...

"Ladies and gentlemen, please start moving towards room 102. The Cameltoe Olympics will begin in 15 minutes."

Just for the sake of clarification: I don't think it's been said for certain that the tube is going to be under vacuum. The plans Musk tweeted that he said were the "closest" to what he would be proposing showed a sustained high airspeed in the direction of travel inside the tunnel which would require significantly…

Coming soon:

That's one of the reasons there's a high-velocity air flow maintained inside the tube. The speed of sound inside the tube is a function of the relative speed of the car vs the speed of the surrounding air.

I thought they were based on the Moops?

You should try and take the stick out of "Ur-uh-nus" and not be so touchy...

With Westbrook, the Thunder are still the best team in the Western Conference. As far as depth, what other team could suffer the loss of a player of his caliber and still be a title contender? Drop Wade or Bosh and the Heat probably don't win the title this year. Would the Spurs have been in the finals without Parker…

A "rising" bullet is an aiming characteristic and depends on the distance at which the weapon was zeroed. If it was zeroed at 300 meters, the bullet will certainly seem to rise if fired at a target 25 meters away.

Phantom Tollbooth is probably what got me started. Read it at a very young age, then discovered Heinlein books like "Have Space Suit, Will Travel" and "Tunnel in the Sky".

Because wearing flannel shirts, sandals with wool socks, not showering, and rock stars dying from drug abuse/overdoses is really the benchmark of high culture...

I wonder if Cake will be just as indignant when they play "Turn the Screws" at the Sonics home opener after they "steal" the Kings from Sacramento.

There was also the W33 nuclear round which was fired from the standard M110 8-inch self-propelled Howitzer. Most (if not all) 8-inch FA battalions had a "special weapons" section that trained on firing these rounds.

I feel much safer knowing the spawn of Doug Neidermeyer is keeping us safe...

Vegas can have a new prop-bet on when the first offensive tackle gets a finger ripped off after getting it stuck between the bars.

Papelbon: "Can you throw me out for what I'm thinking?"

Mine says the free trial expires in 63 days. Still not happy that this "all new app" installed as an update on my phone and dropped the original app that I payed for.

She's not asking to be put on the Olympic team. All that she is asking is that they give her the opportunity to compete in the National Championships.
