6.8 billion years: "The earth is consumed by the sun shortly thereafter".

IQ tests for the private sector, too. Don't forget the geniuses at Enron, Worldcom, Tyco, Lehman, Merrill, Bear Sterns, General Motors, Chrysler, etc., etc. The Peter Principle is at work everywhere.

I rode on airplanes as a kid in the 1960s, and they were only slightly less cattlecar-like than they are today. (Of course I was much smaller, then.) The biggest differences were that the food was better, the stewardesses (they weren't called flight attendants) were cuter, and there was very little security.

When the initial story broke, I made plans with friends to go to Gallop to show support for Dayna and the owners. But we canceled those plans when we learned it was a hoax. But now I'm certainly going, because the restaurant — which just opened a few weeks ago — was a victim of Dayna's behavior and they shouldn't be…

LOL!

I'm no expert at BASE jumping, but simple physics tells you to jump outwards, away from the cliff, so you clear it. Maybe this genius thought he was Wile E. Coyote?

And if Jesus had been executed 100 years ago, the device used might have been the electric chair. That would be the symbol of Christianity, and Christians would walk around with miniature electric chairs on gold chains around their necks and dangling from their rear-view mirrors. If he were executed today, it might be…

And it's probably the origin of the cruciatus curse, as demonstrated by one Professor Severus Snape.

My Nikon D5100 has an electronic viewfinder (called Live View), but I don't use it often because it uses a lot of power. The camera is a year old, and I'll get rid of it when you pry it...... well, you know.

Right, security "experts" tell you to never write down passwords. Memorize all of them. And all your passwords should be a random combination of characters, like jQ84#{N3<d, have a unique password for each of the dozens of logins you use, and change them frequently. Also, get a microchip implanted in your brain to…

Thanks! I just did this, and it works.

I can deal with most of these shortages, but tequila?? PANIC!

"Middle-aged men smell the worst." OK, thanks for the hint. I'll take another shower.

Over the years, there have been various bending of rules regarding regeneration, like the Time Lords giving The Master an additional one in exchange for him rescuing The Doctor. And Moffatt was on TV the other day saying he expects that in 50 years from now, there will be a 100th anniversary and 25+ Doctors in the…

When people do this in America, it's usually called "living in a college dorm."

Oh, definitely don't join anything in a bad area or that's bare-bones. I'm in a well-heeled, low-crime county, and the PF is pretty nice. I'm sure there are other gyms that have good offers, too. Also, PF doesn't have any aquatics, FYI.

PF bills itself as "the judgment-free zone", which is great for people like me! LOL.

Planet Fitness. I got a year's membership as a gift last year, and it's great. Cost is $10/month, the equipment is well-maintained, the locker room is very clean, there are lots of treadmills, ellipticals and free-weights. And it's open 24/7 (I've been wondering who works out at 3am, but I'm not going to find out).
