  • Understood, completely, and I don't necessarily expect everyone to cite research at the level you would, although statements about complex issues are best served when backed with (at least) a bit of substance. However, when a person claims t…
  • DB_Cooper said:I lost most of my digital music in the computer equivalent of a house fire, so I would be deep, deep into that! Hard drive fire?
  • When talking about the use of scientific method, the biggest problem we face is that it will not produce a useful result if the underlying basis is flawed. The quality of its output depends upon the quality of its input. The prison example i…
  • batmon said:Soul Zilla said: Here's a test for you racist accusers out there: just substitute black for white in American history. Would the outcome be different? So Africa would be white and European slave traders would be Black? Black f…
  • Reverse the the ethnicities and it's a huge story Huh... apparently every major news outlet doing a piece on it no longer qualifies as a huge story. Go figure.
  • HarveyCanal said:The retrospective look at Dre's entire career seems to be a case of him being into and even succeeding at things that he wasn't really into. He wasn't into wearing make-up and funny suits, but there are the Wrecking Crew photos. One…
  • countmacula said:Any mention of Stan the Guitar Man? Good catch. Can't ignore him and LA Dre.
  • Movie was OK... didn't love it, but it had its moments. Much more worthwhile was the "Mr. Dynamite" documentary that HBO was showing, don't know if it's still available.
  • I don't know what a Bubblicious handler is, but "Bubblicious Handler" sounds like a top-notch MC name.
  • A nautilus is a shelled cephalopod, found in the tropical waters of the Indian & Pacific oceans. Bob James pitched for the Expos & White Sox in the mid-1980s.
  • He might want to think about toning it down a bit. Now for real entertainment, try Jose Canseco's Twitter feed, containing gems like: If I shrink our Sun to the size of a grain of sand the milkly way would still be as big as all of the…
  • Lyrics on this are hilarious.
  • TheKindCromang said: Seems like Mingus had a thing with clowns. I think the fact that the most famous clown story ever was about a clown who murders his wife tells us much of what we need to know about them.

  • Just when I thought this topic couldn't get weirder... the Patriots organization has now started a "truther" blog: http://wellsreportcontext.com/
  • Bon Vivant said:Steven Ridley is a fumble machine. Are you sure about that? A quick lookup after you mentioned it shows his fumble rate to be below average. More importantly, that's a team stat, and if you look at it, the Pats have averaged half t…
  • This thread is slightly hilarious. I haven't taken a 'side' on this, and I won't (but for disclosure, I'm a lifelong Seahawks fan, and I don't believe deflation played any role in the SB). I do have some thoughts and questions. It's ve…
  • PatrickCrazy said:First off, there's very little historical context on cases like this as there have been very few cases where something like this has been caught on video. So only cases caught on video are considered valid historical context? No o…

  • LaserWolf said:Been watching Barney Miller recently. Better than I remembered. More a show about nothing than Seinfeld ever was. Only one set. Great multi-ethnic, inter-generational cast. Large proportion of suspects are old Jewi…
  • rain103 said: I'm not familiar with that Alfredo Casero version, but it looks great.
  • Big_Stacks said:if people said shit tasted good, there would be other folks lining up to eat it. We're not far from that now: http://voices.nationalgeographic.com/2013/10/01/beaver-butts-emit-goo-used-for-vanilla-flavoring/
  • "As God is my witness... I thought turkeys could fly."
  • I'm not even sure how one hears this and thinks "ham". I mean, if it's not your cup of tea, then OK, but even then it's hard to argue that Otis didn't kill it.
  • Rockadelic said:When "Doing's one job" by mandate, consists of writing tickets, arresting people for selling a fucking cigarette and enforcing bullshit drug laws you are going to make enemies in your community by simply doing your job. Enemies in …
  • Rockadelic said:It's a classic example of "Don't hate the player, hate the game" You treat cops the same way you treat NY Yankees....they could be the most upstanding humans ever, but as soon as they put on the uniform they earn your hate. …
  • Rockadelic said:R.I.P. Mr. Scott....you changed the game. I remember a skit on SNL with Ray Romano trying to come up with catch phrases while broadcasting with Stuart Scott. It was hilarious but also showed how every sports anchor that came after St…
  • Add to it all the ironic fact that Kim Jong-Il was a huge movie enthusiast who loved Western cinema and had a massive collection of DVDs. What if this is somehow part of an Argo-style ruse to assassinate Kim Jong-un for real?
  • Gnat said:I find the fact he's holding the gun sideways to be as disturbing as the story... http://www.ktvu.com/story/27606016/undercover-cop-pulls-gun-on-demonstrators "Hey, Chief, can I hold my gun sideways? It looks so cool."
  • RAJ said:This might be a good way to get my son to eat something other than Mac & Cheese. We have a book called The Sneaky Chef, which is basically about mixing extra nutrition into your kids' food unnoticed. I used to blend white beans into a…
