A friend of mine knew him back in college and said that he was a lovely guy who went out of his way to help a first year student when he was a senior. I'm sorry that his life came to this. Depression and anxiety: To hell with both of you!

Any truth to the rumor that during the operation, the doctors repeatedly requested the song "I'm My Own Grandpa"?

Pretty much my thought too, which was more like: "Oh, so does it come in a trailer model as well?"

I definitely saw the little robot right away, but I'm pretty sure that's a plus!

I don't follow hockey, but I was curious about Alexei Cherepanov. The jury is still out as to whether he was doping (tho my hunch is that he was). He didn't die because 'he accidentally collided with teammate Jaromir Jagr during a hockey game,' however. The collision appears to have been coincidental, with the doping…

I had the same thought, but the entire enterprise of reunions is fraught with difficulty, and there's a range of acceptable behaviors, and this one seems to have fallen into that range. It's like engagements. If you're pretty sure your partner will say yes and the thing isn't 'too' public, it's fine to do something…

This makes me think of the 'miracle berry' (West African Synsepalum dulcificum). I bought a small supply and tried it. So did the wife and kids. Nothing. It has a pleasant taste on its own, but the only thing we noticed that it gave everything that orange juicy taste you get when eating foods after a drink of orange…

I frequently ask my reading students to read this sentence (sometimes silently, sometimes aloud):

She then went home and gave her partner a 23-second oral exam. Life in Russia is just not fair.

That joke was particlearly funny.

I laughed, I cried, I climbed a tree.

I'm with ya there — only in my case, it's sleep I need, not food.

I have no idea how this new commenting system works (so I can't read all the other comments and replies — so forgive me if this is redundant), and probably no one but you will see this, Sam, but is there any way to keep your phone from updating all your contacts to @facebook?

You know what else that robot hand can be used for? Rock-paper-kleenex.

That's what you think.

Yeah, I once found myself in that position, and the next day, there was stigma all over me. That stuff stains!

I, on the other hand, was being funny. Sorry if my wee smile didn't come across.

Whoa. Funny, tho.

They don't use glue. Anybody who is into origami should know that.
