That cat reached terminal velocity and was able to control the fall from there. They covered this in a terrific radiolab once: http://www.radiolab.org/story/94843-ta…

He was the clown that made clowns scary, though. He paved the way for Pennywise.

Ever listen to these guys? They indulge in the same kind of fascination that you do, while trying to find humor throughout the grisly details. They can certainly come off offensive, but I think the intent is always positive.

Fair enough.

No, you're right that there is no such thing as "manhood." There are shifting perspectives, and arguments about what makes a person a man. I think it certainly can hold the connotation of achievement, but I'd argue that it isn't ALWAYS used to compare a "Man" from a woman. Often times - and I might argue most of the…

Ok. So. No I still don't get it. I'm sorry. I'm not actively trying to be dense, but I was under the impression that discussing gender, what that means, where we fall along the line of the multi-dimensional spectrum that is gender helps root us in the world. Not just men, but all people. Masculinity is a socially…

So she'll be singing 'bout Bronte under the sea? Seems fitting.

Can't wait for the footage of a Church congregation joyfully singing this.

Yikes man. That guy should not be anywhere near that protest. He's scared shitless. His finger is trembling on that hair-trigger.

It was neither. He was right from the start. It was a swing state, but had some pretty Confederate leanings dating back to the whole Bleeding Kansas nonsense.

There are certainly people who believe that all cops are bad. There are, however, plenty of — I'd hazard to say "far more" — people who are also saying that these are select examples that prove that near-impeachable power over civilians require more oversight than we're currently being provided. If what you are seeing…

I think the idea is to make sure that ALL cops, including the ones who may be prone to pull any of the stunts in the above video in the future, understand that their behavior is being recorded and will be seen in court along with all other testimony. It's a preventative measure to try and enforce good behavior part of…

Umm ... hi, Delaware. What's goin' on buddy? Oh sorry, I can't tonight. I've got ... I'm busy. Sorry...
