I want to say this was the start, this is patient zero.

They said Ivorian-Scot, not Rwandan-Scot.

If I just go ahead and write a comprehensive Beginner’s Guide To Understanding Cricket and submit it, fully finished, to you guys, would you run it? I wouldn’t want any compensation and am not trying to make it as a writer (I thankfully am gainfully employed as a devil-worshipping corporate lawyer), it’s just…

My guess is that not all players are completely blind, some may have some level of vision, but be legally blind, so the blindfolds ensure that all players are completely blind.

This isn’t true. We now know that most early archosaurs (this includes non-avian dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and early crocs) probably had some kind of feathers. We know this because of DNA research on modern crocodilians, which shows that they still have the genes for feathers, just “switched off.” (I’m a paleontologist).

Some of the featherless dinosaurs, like protoceratops are thought to have spikey filaments on their tail or even more bristly fuzz over their body.

We have actually found a species of Dinosaur called Kulindadromeus zabaikalicus, which lived between 169 and 150 million years ago. This Dinosaur is a common ancestor to most Dinosaurs, including Sauropods and Theropods and had proto-feathers. This tells us that almost all Dinosaurs had some form of feathers, much…

It seems cool and great to work laying down on your couch with your computer on your stomach until you get a massive headache…

A. from non-elite runner: To a degree, yes, the times they’ve been hitting in workouts indicate what’s possible in competition. But by the time you add in an x-factor improvement for having other fast people to run with, the length of the race, heat, wind, possibility of falling, covering or not covering a bold move…

Downhill Super G at 90+ MPH.

For the record, They don’t like being called “horse people”. Centaur is the preferred nomenclature.

What a kerfuffle! Christopher Reeve probably has someone helping him turn over in his grave...

If the men took gold in individual and team foil, and Zagunis got it for women’s saber, I know it wouldn’t create some kind of fencing renaissance or anything, but damn if it wouldn’t be awesome as hell.

Dynasties are better than parity.

Buddy the cat.

A good death is its own reward
