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.

Someone is either laughing or crying somewhere in my office.

One of the benefits of subterranean living is I don't have to worry about Tornadoes.  Of course, there are the CHUDs.
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

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I loathe tornadoes. I saw the 2000 Xenia one in action. Unfun.

I saw one in Houston circa 1992.  It looked BADASS.  I didn't worry because a) teenagers don't worry about shit, and b) wasn't my house in the path of it. :showoff:

I was across the street from one. It wrecked a grocery store(among other things).

I wasn't in any danger. Greene Memorial Hospital is rather well built.

Guy takes one of the $16-17,000 road bikes that won the Tour de France and tackles some off-road riding:

Most of it seems to be filmed on the Dorset seafront or New Forset near to where live, saving the bits in Bristol and inland from here.

Anyone who can handle a bike like that can ride whatever he wants where he wants.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Yeah, it's pretty crazy to be able to do that stuff even on a bike with 23- 25 mm road slicks; the bit of him hoping on one wheel across the top of those bike stands was incredible.
