One particularly amazing thing about the wright brothers. They figured out the optimal shape for the propeller using only a makeshift wind tunnel (which was also the first time a wind tunnel was ever used, or i guess invented.) Scientists later looked at the original propeller, and used computers to see how much more…

It is good that Gruden said “this Nathan Peterson”, because i was about to confuse him with “that Nathan Peterson”. But wait, it is that Nathan Peterson.
Fucking Gruden.

“writing them off early”, so pretty much the regular New England early season take in regards to any of the 4 major sports, correct? Take last year for example(s)
Football (after Pats lose initial 2 games) - “We suck this year, we probably won’t make the playoffs.”
Hockey -”Only one line can score. We’ll be lucky to…

Utz are in the northeast. (boston area, at least.) Our regional fav is “Wachusetts”. (unless you are one of them fancy people, who prefer Cape Cod
Fun Fact (or urban legend, take your pick), the person who started Cape Cod actually worked briefly in the Wachusetts factory. Apparently he had a kettle cooked potato…

This deserves the entire clip.

They did claim to improve their sauce, etc. Their same store sales went through the roof. Wall St. loved it, and their CEO is pretty much golden for getting another gig once he tires of Domino. The ad campaign was considered courageous at the time, running commercials that stated “the crust tastes like cardboard”.…

I think Vegas has more Pizza Huts than most places, due to the amount of gambling. A slice of pizza is much quicker to get than most foods, and can be eaten easily walking back to the casino. Gamblers want to eat quick, and get back to the slots/wheel/table.

I think he means a full beard, not wisps. In which case, i am still getting him/her a free beer. (I am guessing he/she is part of a traveling carnival, and there are many carnies (?) whom know how to exact retribution while being re-assured they will be 25 miles away in a week, with no good descriptions. May not be…

I live in Mass as well. My first Mass license had the shiny state seal right over the year i was born, 68. In certain light it looked like 66. I would show it, and half the time get in. The other half, the bouncer had to give it back, since it was valid. I just remembered the bars that would accept it, and go back to…

Do you know why Budweiser is the most common beer. You have be pretty stinking drunk not to be able to walk up to a bar and say, “Bud”.
; )

If the guys in the garage* across the street from my old place saw this side loading tow truke, their business would also grow three fold.

“No need to call the police for everything. Sort it out youself! Christ.”

Wow. He is lucky she didn’t decide that “there is a good chance he will run away if i let go of one hand, so i’ll incapacitate him first, then call the police.”
Also, the people who didn’t call the police are complete losers. There is virtually no risk involved, especially as she already has the suspect pinned. A…

There was no conclusive evidence of infiltration due to the existing unsecure design of the voting machines. (i.e. if it keep a record of whom logged in and from what IP, we would know if it actually infiltrated.) Just because there is no conclusive evidence doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. I agree that it also had the…

Colliding Sci-Fi worlds. However, a great pay-per-view would be the Terminators against the Borg.
The Borg would assimilate the Terminators, then the Terminators will be like, “You got nothing to assimilate dudes! We are all just a computer chips!”

The NFL shouldn’t have changed it to a sole license allowed, and then give it to EA for 10 years, especially when NFL2k was willing to go to $19.99 to get a fanbase. The irony is that now EA can charge the NFL $19.99 for another 10 year deal, since there are no other viable developers who would want to try to top…

Nonetheless, Athletics Director Tracy Dill found herself in a sour situation, due to the salty behavior of the coach, which certainly wasn’t kosher.

The Globe did an interview with some Celtics player a while ago, but at the player’s apartment. There was not a single thing in the apartment, except for a bed, a TV, and a nice chair in the living room. The lack of furnishing ended up being a focus of the story. The apartment really looked like he could pack up one…

It is easier to understand how the athletess think the money can’t run out, if you remember most grew up very poor. Their rookie contract is usually more than their entire family makes in their lifetime, so it does seem like it should last forever, in a way. Combine that with their having no financial experience, nor…

I worked for a private bank in the boston area. When i started, they said to not be surprised if i saw athletes in the hallways. All the major sports teams recommend this bank for rookie athletes, so they can financially plan for the future. How many actually take this advice is unknown, but the teams apparently do…
