I was thinking the same. That, or just let them join the fourth-graders in one massive version of "The Cherry Orchard". I'm sure that thought could fill anyone with a bit of cultural pessimism.

I think a performance of the Bald Soprano would work, as long as the genders were reversed.
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.

One of those houses could be used as a wargame house. Put table in, play Star Fleet Battles. No wargamer farts in your good house.

Just read in The Economist that the new mayor of Newark is a radical who claims his role model is Marion Barry.  :lol:

Newark real estate prices: tumble.

This leads to a profound question: is it even possible for Newark to be even more of a shithole than it is already?  :hmm:

Articlle in The Economist about venture capital in Europe: 40% publicly funded, 2.1% annual returns since 1990, compared to 13% for US VC.

Uh, Hooray?
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

Wozniacki apparently split with Rory McIlroy, good for her. Perhaps now she'll start winning stuff again, watch out for the Misc Sports Thread!
