When this feature began, the puzzles were really challenging. I was often stumped and it was great. But the last half-dozen or so (with the exception of the great, mountain-climbing monk puzzle and the horribly tedious count-the-bulls puzzle) have been awfully breezy.

Can you really compare the shielding power of clouds to that of the moon?

I've got ask . . . how do you decide which letters to capitalize?

Haha, yeah. It was great, naturally. Marc Maron is one of my favorites too, so it was an awesome treat.

I'm sort of obsessed with Norm MacDonald. Guy is a fucking genius.

I'm not concerned about health, I'm concerned about rust.

Good thing the Patriot's didn't listen to your advice when Bledsoe got healthy.

28 games for Talbot and 39 for Lundqvist isn't that small a sample size.

I agree with everything you said, but my question still stands: Do you ride the hot hand, or go back to the veteran who is better at full strength, but may be rusty as hell?

Rested? Yes.

What do you do when Lundqvist returns?

There are reasonable arguments that can be made in support of this type of porn, but the fact that "men and women have rape fantasies" is not one of them. I assume you wouldn't defend animated child porn on the basis that it's the fantasy of somebody.

I had always believed that was the case, but I've been waking up to "Here Comes the Sun" for a long time, and I haven't grown irritated by it, yet. It may still happen, but the Beatles are so great and George Harrison 's voice so soothing that it's actually a nice way to start each day.

I think you've got Japan's area in square kilometers.

No big deal. It only underscores your point about Japan's crazy population density.

California is actually bigger than Japan.

If you're interested in this idea, there's a fascinating episode of RadioLab from 2-3 years ago that discusses the marginal trading advantages that can be gained from nanoseconds of speed.

Redacted for poor reading comprehension on my part.
