I think you misunderstood what was happening in the battle scene. The grain was torched, not the gold. The general definitely said that the gold made it safely back to King’s Landing. Probably many other commenters have already mentioned this, though.

The Da Vinci robot has been used to perform gynecological surgery for over 15 years. No, Elmhurst is not the first public hospital to use it. Elmhurst is the first public hospital *in NYC* to use it for gynecology. Most public hospitals can’t afford Da Vincis because of the expense, and doctors need a lot of…

Also, Rochester is about as far from Long Island as you can get in the state of New York?

Uh oh, too bad fumigation doesn’t kill bedbugs!

I really think that paying husbands monetary damages for “loss of consortium” is ridiculous. On a separate note, I was permanently injured during labor, but never sued anyone. Sometimes $16 million sounds nice, but this kind of publicity does not sound nice. And yes, to the people asking whether this happens…

They don’t have to be trained. Apes LOVE boobs. Just ask Koko the gorilla.

More interesting stuff in this email linked to in the Globe article:

The reverend asked her what kind of resolution she wanted and she said she wanted to try his famous monkeybread. Obviously, the reverend seized on that, and came up with the bizarre weekly delivery prescription, which she I assume felt pressured to agree to in the moment. Cannot fathom his judgment there.

FYI, you had pinworms, not hookworms. And also, you win.

NO. Ew. No.

You dodged a bullet, don't worry. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/24/bus…

"THE SCOURGE OF JOHN CHEEVER LIVES ON." Please know that I appreciate your MFA degree, even if it is about to get revoked.

Okay, I feel great about these pictures, BUT he's still a baritone.

Glad to see this conversation. I would say I have an "exceptional passion for mothering" and was really excited to have a baby. I ended up experiencing a disabling birth injury and my quality of life and mobility has not recovered. So the question of whether I would rather have a child or my functional body back is…

FYI, she's wrong.

Yes, I am concerned as well about the baritone. They are going to have to change the key, which Stephen Trask decided NOT to do for NPH, even though the role strained his upper range.

How the hell is Todd Haynes a "woefully underused genius"? He's an auteur and picks his own projects. This seems like a really weird way to describe an artist.

I think she means she doesn't KNOW HOW TO use Photoshop. Different. Because that is some pretty bad Photoshop.

I don't think Kim was a fashion editor at Sassy. She was a features staff writer. The fashion was all Andrea as I recall.

Yeah, to be clear, I think they are intended to be "Cleopatra" wigs in keeping with the mummy/Egyptian theme, and I think there are racial overtones to that. I just think there are multiple references, including drag and Leigh Bowery. Bowery also participated in some minstrel-type visual references. That stuff is…
