I learned that the hard way when Antarctica Fats hustled me at a pool hall.

She had originally wanted to do it without the Mail Kimp spots, but they just didn't have the technology at the time.

"And I want you to know that when I die, you're all welcome to visit me in rich men's heaven."

Well, now I have to dictionary "google."

Good grief; I had no idea of the other ones. Anyway: "'Inflammable' means flammable? What a country!"

Sure, a reference to the Forrestal fire is quite clever, but can you work it into a Simpsons quote somehow?

The cube root of 1790 is 12.1418354718.

The secret to really good racist relative is brining the night before. Lets the meat stay moist.

Pardon me?

They left the round dish on the Falcon. Inexcusable. Middling Job, Internet!

"I don't like MS-DOS. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere."

Right, and the northern states wanted them to count as zero-fifths. I think the issue is that people mistake the three fifths thing; really the constitution would have been less-supportive of slavery if it said slaves weren't counted as people at all. I suppose maybe it's just too counterintuitive.

By counting them even as 3/5 it shifted congressional representation to the south at the expense of the north.

Reverse. It *inflated* the power of the slave states in congress (and also presidential elections because of the electoral college). Because slaves weren't allowed to vote—and were legally property for that matter—they shouldn't have counted at all.
