When I was an undergrad I had a summer job working for university maintenance crew. Our workshop was in a garage in a building built into the side of the hill, so we had this retaining leading into the garage, and a dumpster sitting below the retaining wall. There was a bush on the hill above the dumpster, and it had…

That actually raises an interesting point — is this mainly an American or English-speaking-world issue? Of course sexism isn't, but in countries where nudity isn't such a big deal, I wonder if there are as many hackers trying to get their rocks off stealing private digital property.

I wonder how many of those dudes calling their girlfriend a prude bitch actually have or hold on to girlfriends.

If the NCAA could eventually figure out its weight-cutting issues — or at least improve the regulations — there's no reason the mma community can't. They might have to get creative, though.

Maybe that raccoon was semi-tamed. My dad had a pet raccoon when he was a kid; a mother raccoon had a nest in a powerline pole, and the pole had come down, killing the mother. There were a few kits in the nest that survived, and my grandpa brought one home. They raised it like a cat. It stole my grandma's jewelry and…

What Gideon said — I installed my first Linux desktop OS in 2000, and have heard about the year of the Linux desktop ever since.

I bet a lot of those people who think it's socialist indoctrination are also football fans (American football). In which case — here's how the NFL employs a socialist model.

Would the be as quick to sell Pol Potstickers?

I've done the stadium once with someone on my back when I went to camp there, but I'm a lightweight — I was lighter than 66kg when I did it.

This is so empowering.

It's not quite as colorful as Houdini or the other commenters experiences, but the U. of Iowa wrestling team would run up and down all of the Carver Hawkeye Arena stadium steps with someone else on their back. It's not very easy.

What's the feat there, the rope-jumping or the thong-wearing?

So Reagan wasn't wrong with supply-side economics — create the supply, and the demand will follow. We've just created a surplus of military-grade weaponry, and a demand has emerged to put that surplus to some sort of use at taxpayer expense.

The prefab holes in jeans and tattered baseball caps always irritated me. I earned the holes in my knees and every loose thread on the bill of my cap. You can't buy the spills off a mountain bike, the drunken stumbles home in the sleet, and the rollerblade spills into the bushes.

Agreed. Posting an article about how bad some other people's articles are about Williams' death just seems like the flipside of the attention-hogging attitude the original negative articles betray.

How much of your wrestling did you have to re-learn for mma? And how successful do you think wrestling for mma be at the NCAA level? A while back people talked about how GSP trained freestyle with some of the Canadian national team, and he was considering competing, but others popped up saying it was too different and…

Eye see what you did there.

I want to see a physics demonstration of that shoot-out now. Also, there's one quick shot of someone puttying up the holes after they're made. So they'll be alright.
