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.

Yeah, those things actually exist.  They aren't just in the movies.
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

Roadrunners do exist, and to my knowledge none has ever been hit by a falling safe.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

So that's a non-zero probability ?  :P

The birds, yeah they exist.  They are really small.

I've known people who, when they move to Wyoming, send tumbleweeds back to relatives as special gifts...

It is kind of empty and dry here...
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.

Believe it or not we have them here too, though I wouldn't say they're common by any means.

Though terrible, it was pretty funny when my little cousin was taken out by a tumbleweed.
