OK, who taught that sheep to read? The only good sheep is an ignorant sheep! Do you think she taught any of the others? ... Maybe we should change the sign to "Wool Shearing" just in case.

Lost in the turmoil yesterday, I forgot to mention that it was also the anniversary of the nearly forgotten Peshtigo Fire. It occurred on October 8, 1871, and resulted in an estimated 1500 deaths when a rampaging forest fire incinerated the whole Wisconsin town.

45% of women voters decided a convicted rapist and pedophile was a great choice for president. No doubt their husbands are totally on board. Presumably they're all raising their sons to admire and emulate him.

In regard to the 2015 poll that less than half of Americans know dinosaurs died out many millions of years before we evolved (40% said they believe we coexisted, 16% "aren't sure"), it is still hard to wrap my head around how abysmally ignorant half of America is.

Thanks. Now a question that keeps popping up in my head: Clocks at the event horizon stop for the external observer. So would any Hawking radiation happen so slowly as to be nearly non-existent except at time scales of ultimate heat death of the universe?

The physicists are coming to the idea that the simplest solution to quantum field theory gravity and entanglement is "many worlds" (and by many, they mean virtually infinite). This could also explain how we ended up in this nearly impossible Wonderland 2.0.

First they came for the journalists: October 7, 2006, Anna Politkovskaya, a Russian journalist, author, and advocate for human rights, was killed by gunshot in the elevator of her residential building in the heart of Moscow. That wasn't the beginning but it seems to have been the tipping point.

Big Oil's Dirty Little Secret #4 When diesel costs over 50¢ more than gas at the pump, it is almost entirely REFINING PROFIT caused by tight supply. $100/bbl crude constitutes about $2.40/gal for BOTH unleaded and diesel, only $1.20 over the pre-war $50/bbl price.

Sadly, it is the progressive old mainline protestant churches that are closing. The pentefundagelical preachers of prosperity who take their tithing congregations for suckers? Yeah, they're prospering just fine, thank you very much.

Yeah. Worst case on subway (assuming it doesn't flood or collapse) is you walk the track to the next station. Monorail is you're trapped and must wait for the FD rescue. Could be a LONG wait. It's why I never take an amusement park ride that inverts.

Good point. We can safely assume the married among the 45% of women that voted for the rapist have husbands that also are happy to raise their boys to be just like him.
