The Washington National Cathedral took 83 years to build and the final finial was placed on it in 1990. It is still being worked on

Totally agreed. Sagrada Familia is possibly my favorite church architecturally, and the only one that can really challenge it is Notre Dame. I told someone yesterday that both of my favorite churches are now (sadly in the latter’s case) in the process of being built.

I’d put the Almudena Cathedral in Madrid on the list as well.  It’s fantastic.

Sagrada Familia was the first thing I thought of as well. I just saw it in person a couple of weeks ago, and it is absolutely astounding. Catholics know how to build churches, that’s for sure.

That or the Second Avenue Subway.

I did, but only because I wanted to.

You Idiot.

Yes, that’s the point Portnoy and his minions are willfully missing: Portnoy is saying that type of garbage today, every day, as a 41 year old. Barry said stupid, hateful shit 12 years ago; that doesn’t make it right at all but there’s at least the calculation that people can improve and become better over time. Barry…

Iris > anyone on staff here, honestly

I don’t think casual fans appreciate how hard it is for a relatively fit guy to spend two years training in a top MMA gym and look that bad against an absolute nobody. We have 10 year olds in our gym that have better form after a month of training 3 times a week. No, CM Punk is something really special. It takes real…

Oh, he’s aware

When you woke up this morning, did you think of yourself as someone who would call the teenaged survivor of a mass shooting a liar on the internet, or are you surprised to learn that about yourself?

I would estimate conservatively that 25% of my usable kitchen cabinet space is occupied by kids’ water bottles. Of those water bottles, maybe 15 - 20% are actively being used. It makes me bonkers. The other day, I pulled out a sliding shelf to get at some tupperware and about 8 water bottles fell back behind the…

I’m exactly Cline’s age and played with 90% of the toys/games he vomited up in that tome, and I was overcome with self-loathing around the book’s 4th list of entertainment detritus. It was like 459 pointless Family Guy references, but without laughs. Or exactly like 459 pointless Family Guy references.

Interceptable passes is Fahey’s stat, and he has published his findings from the 2015 and 2016 seasons in a pair of books, most recently Pre-Snap Reads Quarterback Catalogue 2017. The stat is proprietary, which means not only that Fahey invented it, but that he is also the only one tracking it.

Then change the photo. I’d have sex with Kate Beckinsale under almost any circumstance I can think of, and many that I have not.

As the reporter rightly was getting at with his questioning, the “I’m only accountable to the people in my district” defense rings a bit hollow when Blum’s largest donors are from outside of his district. If he can be bought by parties outside his district, then he can answer questions asked by Iowans outside his…
