The NFC East teams have combined to be the most successful division in the NFL since the 1970 NFL merger with 21 NFC Championship wins and 13 Super Bowl victories, the highest marks of any division in the NFL.

The nfc east teams may be a bunch of clowns, but by god they get results.

They are basically Leslie Nielson from Naked Gun.

I appreciated this reference, as I am the kind of weirdo whose mental association to reading "Mogwai" is the band first, then The Jungle Book, then Gremlins.

That said, I want to watch Gremlins 2 really badly since I recently listened to Chapo's deep dive/interview with the director.

I rewatched it a few weeks ago, it's on HBOMax if you have it.

I never understood the panic about nunchuks, like, what is it about sticking a chain on some wood that makes it SUCH a more dangerous weapon than a knife or a sword

I think there's an element of xenophobia to it.

Season 3's actually pretty decent if you've not seen it. Season 2 is very much just spinning its wheels getting things in place for Season 3 though.

Yeah season 3 is a really nice change of direction. Season 2 is boring as hell in addition to having no identity of its own.

I find it weirdly unsettling to cut off an animal's head and then put headwear on its severed neck. We humans already control their life and death; we don't need to mock them afterwards.

What I am saying, Heinrich Schliemann, is that that is the stupidest goddam thing I have ever heard.



Scientists of the early 1800's agree with you.

During the 1820s, English geologist William Buckland conducted an experiment to see how long a toad could remain alive while encased in stone. He placed toads of different sizes and ages into carved chambers within limestone and sandstone blocks sealed with glass covers, then buried the blocks in his garden. A year later, he dug up the blocks and found that most of the toads were dead and decayed. A few toads that had been in the porous limestone were still living, but the glass had developed cracks which Buckland believed may have admitted small insects. However, Buckland found them all dead after reburying them in the limestone for another year. Buckland concluded that toads could not survive inside rock for extreme lengths of time, and determined that reports of the entombed animal phenomenon were mistaken. Most scientists agreed.

I don't understand it either but I would hate for you to feel left out.

It looks like batman is upset because flash is dead or wounded. He asks Superman where he was. We see that superman had apparently stopped on his way to the fight because his super ears picked up the knee taps given by a man to his dog to indicate it is ok to eat the spilled food and superman entered the home and ate the spilled food himself (like a dog).

I don't know what this person does, but like... You're aware that post WWII Japan is basically protected by the US and in return they have almost no military, right? We have bases there, "American who doesn't speak much Japanese living in Japan" is an extremely normal thing to be.

Also, "fluent in a nation's language" is a SUPER high and weird bar to go live in a place. Enclaves of European retirees in low cost of living countries not doing anything to integrate is weird and gross, sure - but it's not a crime and is in fact cool and good and mutually beneficial to go live in another culture for a while.

Japan has the 4th most powerful navy in the world

Why “in all likelihood divorce again”? Is there some marriage gland that is damaged by divorce and therefore more likely to cause a divorce in the future?

I know a lot of people who got married pretty young, got divorced when they and their partner finished growing up, and then married again knowing themselves better and are perfectly happy. What ill fate awaits them because of their previous marriage?

(I do agree that people who get divorced are more likely to go on and have more marriages than people who stay married, though!)

According to a quick Google search, more than 60% of second marriages end in divorce

It's so stupid. The way to go is to say that outside of lunch hours, there's a 10% discount on selected items and combos, while increasing the price across the board.

That is absolutely what will be happening. They've already had to do damage control and say they won't dynamically raise prices, so that means the only alternative is an overall price increase with dynamic "discounts".

I'm sure employees will do everything in their power to increase their chances of being assaulted
