Right? Madam Curie, Florence Nightingale, Sacajawea, Joan of Arc-those are about all I remember of the top of my head. Not even Hedy Lamarr! And she was beautiful and helped the US technologicaly-I would think she should fit the acceptable mold.

Per Wikipedia, Wanderwell was not his given name. He had previously been suspected of being a German spy in WWI. They got to the US in 1925 and she became a citizen, then married him. That foiled an FBI plan to prosecute him under the Mann act.

“In my opinion, kids watch video games where they shoot each other and hit the reset button and they come back to life. It’s not like that in the real world,”

Probably stashed the other nut in the case for the thread chaser :)

I’ve just now realized my longest recurring nightmare of people I don’t know forcing their way into my home to throw a rager is likely based on Cat in the Hat. I also always had major anxiety reading/hearing that story.

Courage is contagious and needs someone as brave as this kid to be this first.

Rakim and Big Daddy Kane are legendary.

Yes. I can second everything you have stated. I remember when Gabby Giffords got shot at that supermarket. One person came out of the grocery store not knowing what happened. He taught shooting.

I enjoyed this exchange very much. Also, this is the first time I’ve EVER had the thought, “Aw, I wanna join that HOA!”

Call that project delayed. Start on a Volvo in Sweden. Fix it up to a driving status and hoon. We’ll watch/read all about it.  

Lol! A 2 second Google search shows us:

The guy in the video either doesn’t know how to ride or is lying about the wheelie. I’m going with doesn’t know how to ride since he admits entering the highway in first gear. In normal traffic there is no reason to ever do that. His explanation is the same as guys who “had to lay it down” because someone “pulled out…

Every now and then I think of driving a motorcycle, and then I read things like “I almost died because I was leaning slightly too far back when I accelerated”

Warning to adults everywhere. These kids are really smart and really good at the social media, stop screwing with them.

Sounds... cling to the engine sounds.
