Maybe this footage is our first clue that it's not exclusively a deep-sea creature and that we don't know that much about it. The reason I say that is that I just watched BBC's Africa and they didn't know that rhinos hang out together at night until they documented it while shooting that show.

"Solar Masses" is a standard unit for the mass of giant objects in space. Pretty much everything from planets up. Part of the reason is that astronomers use scientific notation, so "3E15 M_sun" isn't nearly as difficult to understand or compare to other numbers as "3 million billion," which is how nine-year-olds…

In their defense, much of Mississippi hasn't discovered showers or antibiotics yet, so this metaphor is a little more accurate

might've attacked his victims out of frustration because he could barely attend his mom's funeral.

Why should the state have to pay for her medical bills just because her injury took place in that state?

I totally support a father's right to take paternity leave whenever his baby is born. However (some of you already hate me), if your SO is a professional athlete who works pretty much every day, all over the country, but for less than half the year? Makes sense to plan the pregnancy for the offseason.

I thought the rule was that the pitcher never makes a play on an infield fly. Unless it's going to hit him in the face if he doesn't move.

"utter annihilation" is a bit much. It's clearly slowed down to terminal velocity, as evidenced by the fact that it's so close to the ground, its size, and the fact that it's tumbling. It's a sizeable rock and it would have hurt, but he's wearing a helmet.

Surely BSG's open deserves a mention. The opening of the first episode in the series and you don't have a damn clue what's going on. Only that it's scary and everyone's really tense.

It looks like a fleece blanket to me.

"In the long run" doesn't mean a damn thing when you rent, as over a third of Americans do. I haven't lived in one place for more than two years since 2007, and I'm not going to pay $33 a bulb when I can get incandescents for $1.57. That last sentence should read "anyone with access to a calculator or basic math…

No Top Gear test track?

Apparently there's a distinction between "six month intervals" and "twice each year" with which I'm not familiar…

I'm guessing it was raised by roughly the thickness of the new shield. Just to make sure the clearance numbers are the same.

1) Turn the lights on.

There is not one aspect of this that does not also apply to young men working their way up through fast-paced industries. Class issue? Fine. Feminist issue? No.

If someone shaved 15% off the world record for the Men's 100m, it would go from 9.58 to 8.14 in one step. Statues would be built for that man.

I didn't cite The Onion, I pointed out a related satirical piece enclosed therein.
