Yup. Your hip joint IS a ball joint. For real.

That must be a heck of a siphon you run to Lake Superior from southern Ontario.

"The Sierra NevadaS?" All six of them? The ones in the US, Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela and Chile-Argentina? Because there's only one in the US, because "Sierra" means "mountain range" in Spanish. There's no such thing as the "Sierra Nevada Mountains."

I'm cold, so global warming is a myth. In other news, I just ate, so world hunger is not a problem.

If a ticket is $1000, they pay for the seat in 300 flights - a year, tops.

Maleficent was better than I expected and had a couple of interesting twists. It also has the ugliest princes in fairy tale history. Seriously, if these guys weren't royalty, they'd never get any. But it's not Sleeping Beauty as you know it. Think of it as an alternate retelling.

We ARE all clear these are imaginary characters, right?

"I'm sorry, son. They got us."

Sorry, Sao Paulo. Think Portuguese, not Spanish and Italian.

The US is rich in water, too, with the Great Lakes and the Mississippi. But that doesn't help Atlanta much, which is perched on a drainage divide.
