Ten years sounds about right - these terrorists need to be taught a lesson. Oh wait, we're talking about a white, very-much-not-a-Muslim American. Well then, nothing to see here. Move along.

In a variation of "sky burials" (where the body is left out to be cleaned by vultures - something some Buddhist monks do), the Cronut Pony would be placed, along with large urns of coffee, milk, and non-dairy creamer, in a quite spot near a number of large office buildings. Once cleaned, the bones would then be packed…

I used to live in a 1870ish home where the previous owners were buried in the back yard. I kind of wish we could still do that. Not appropriate everywhere, but I think it would be a good idea in some places.

Ok, giffers - get to work!

There's a guy at my gym who has brought a wearable drum kit to use on the elliptical. How I wish I had video. (Hey, it's Nashville - our crazies are mostly music types.)

Here's a place where girls win and boys lose. I was a Boy Scout, and come from a family with a long Scouting tradition (my grandfather, for one, was a BSA executive). But I have to look on all that with a sense of loss as to what the BSA has become. Girls Scouts, on the other hand, rule!

There are certain things you don't say, even if you believe them. There is a reason "it's not you, it's me" has become a cliche. Because most folks like to think they are actually decent human beings. And decent human beings do not not like to to tell other human beings, "I don't find you physically attractive…

Wow, that's pretty thin evidence. On that basis I'm married to several people of various genders by now, lol.

Does she know any folks named "Mesias"? Or their friends named "Jesus"? Sure, they mispronounce it - "Hay-Zeus" or something, I don't know.

One more time with feeling - Whites of a given education level make more than Asians of the same education level. This means that Asians are subject to racial discrimination that whites are not. Get it through your thick head, ok?

Because you willfully disregard context and the basics of statistics, even when they are explained to you. The true idiots are not people who are slow at figuring out problems, but the ones who insist they don't need to.

Ooo, ooo, I know why. Because you are being an idiot. That one was easy!

I also see handlers using gloves, something like the gloves falconers use.

My take - Columbus discovered a trade route and, here's what's key, told everyone about it. Which turned out to be pretty important. Someone would have done it eventually, so it's not all that impressive - Cabral landed in Brazil eight years later by accident (he was on his way to India and swung too far west in the…

What browser are you using? I have Chrome and am not getting autoplay.

redact - wrong post

Free speech does have its annoying moments, that is true.

What? This is necessary why? OK, will they be redoing the New Testament with female leads next? (Which would be cool, come to think of it.)

I'm a professor and I love it. That said, I might just trade it for a successful Hollywood career.

I was in a last second abort at ATL back in '89. We actually put the back two wheels on the ground before heading back up. Never felt G forces like that before or since. The guy next to me said, "He was just practicing." Rumor was we had to jump something - official word is the pilot became concerned about the front…
