Yeah, white girls don't dig short brothers. And I don't see why he'd settle a relationship dispute at an intersection. Most brothers I know are cold, calculating and will bide their time.

The wording of the article left if unclear if he was ever in the car, or if it might have been a potential attempted carjacking.  "Appeared to be arguing" could easily be "attempting to resist an assault/robbery" if that info came from distant witnesses.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

That was rather stupid.

They're showing Churchill as a positive counterpoint to Hitler?....err.......
And Sagan and Hubble hardly compare to Newton and Einstein.
The European natural wonder looks rather lame. And American history just doesn't compare to European, thats a legit moan.

The Cliffs of Moor qualify as lame? :huh:

Don't make eye contact with it.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

A bit insulting that they equate the Vietnam war with the fucking Nazis or George W. Bush with Hitler.  Also they could of picked a European scientist who wasn't also an American citizen.  Euros do beat the US in architecture, hands down.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

If you limit them to buildings constructed over the past 2 centuries, it's a wash.

Eh, define "Constructed".  Some buildings were finished or worked on in the last two centuries in Europe but are much older.  For instance the Cologne Cathedral.

ALL HAIL THE PIZZABON!

Looks gross.

Yeah, that's a little extreme.

Now, the Pizza Hut Dinner Box deal, wherein you get a pizza and cinnamon sticks?  DELICIOUS.  But you don't eat them at the same time.

You also get breadsticks.  $10.  A fine establishment.  But I'll bet you a hundred Internet bucks one of the snob crowd starts puking in their mouth at the very thought.  They're so tedious.
