Headline should be, “World loses weight”

I think what folks really mean with this is that your mothers’ side of the family also has a whole bunch of people with her (maiden) name - and by being a Keyser, you’re saying on some level that you are not part of that family, but only part of your dad’s. So it’s not that Keyser isn’t your name, but rather that your…

EXACTLY. “Your” name is yours because you’ve carried it your whole life, whether or not it was also your father’s name. (My last name happens to be a hybrid of my mother’s and father’s, and it is no less MY name.) Arguing that it’s NBD for women to change their names because it’s some man’s name anyway just assumes…

I’ve seen and really don’t get this argument. My last name has been my last name from birth. Just like it was my father’s last name from birth. Is it more “his” last name than mine because he’s a man? Or because he’s older? It’s not “my father’s name”—it’s a whole bunch of “Keyser’s” (men and women) names. Including…

Still not nearly as good as spider dog.........

One of things I hope for most dearly is that the death penalty will be abolished in my lifetime. Not the feckless, useless, piecemeal state by state abolition, but the federal government actually stepping up and saying no more. I hate this shit. It’s WRONG.

The sarcasm lessons will commence at 7 p.m. sharp, don’t be late or you may be subject to detention.

You need lessons in understanding sarcasm.

Hmm, you sure about that?

New York is NOT the 4th largest state. . . .

As an FYI, don’t use Lillard’s answer if you’re ever asked anything by the police. “I’m from Oakland” does NOT do you any favors...

I feel so weird when the NFL does something right for a change.

Cane toads are the bane of most of SE Asia and Australia. The only predator that seems to be able to deal with them is the Magpie like birds of Australia. They have learned to flip them on their back and attack their belly, which is non-poisonous. They then chow down from the bottom side in.

I want one, or two; such a cute animal and probably fairly amenable to captivity since most Varanids are. I would advise against picking one up since they’re the size of my pet Tegu and that can be damaging to human health, especially if he mistakes fingers for dinner, added to that most Varanids are venomous and a…

So you walk to the other side of the street to avoid a few black people too?

are you ignorant? did you not just read the article? it clearly states “pitbull” is not a bread, hes a rapper........

That looks like a list of dogs who are attractive to irresponsible people who probably shouldn’t own dogs.

Pfft! That’s nothing. I once saw Benicio Del Toro and Tommy Lee Jones turn Rambo: First Blood into a piece of shit...with knives.
