- Very Cool

-  Four arrested in Denver hotel, police feared "Las Vegas-style" shooting at All-Star game. If I were playing in the game I'd donate whatever I'm being paid to play to this maid and I'd get others to do the same. The article paints the FBI as clueless - which is probably accurate reporting.

- If Superman existed then Gravity would have been a much shorter movie.

- The physics of Captain America

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Heh heh - Rusty Cohle's OK Cupid dating profile. Funny if you're a fan of HBO's True Detective... Do they call it "Thunder Down Under" because the name "Shirtless White Guys" was already taken?... Big fan of Mike Rowe. Even bigger fan after reading this... Still say that CNN should replace Piers Morgan with Adam Carolla. I would watch that show... Wow - Sandra Bullock could make $70 million from Gravity... New England Church sign: Whoever is praying for snow - please stop!... Calvin and Hobbes creator Bill Watterson to publish first cartoon in 19 years. Not much of a cartoon but I'll take it!... Heh heh - Canadians and hockey... On this day in 1983 the final episode of MASH was aired. I was a big MASH fan but have never seen that final episode. Don't see the point of watching it now...
