Because of the curvature of the earth the supports for the Verrazano Bridge are two inches further apart at the top. Also Verrazzano was spelled wrong on the original contract.

Weird. I wonder if the next simulation will be different.

God, I hope it's not worse.
 Although a do-over would be cool because I've thought of a bunch of new ways to fuck up my life.

If this is a simulation, I got a goddamned serious bone to pick with somebody.

TIL I'm the average weight for an American woman. which is SCARY AS FUCK, because I'm very obviously overweight. And I'm built like a Brick shithouse, so even if I wasn't a tad chubby, I should be tipping the scales on the above average side seeing as muscle is more dense than fat and I'm also average height, maybe even a hair over.

Today I learned while working on the irrigation system in my pasture, clearing some small culverts with my weed eater (whacker, trimmer) that a careful eye needs to be kept for fresh, liquid cow pies hiding in the lush turf.
I didn't notice until I had a fragrant fountain and brown every where. |

Yes indeed, they are wonderful at spreading the news.

TIL:
Of the 50 fastest 100 meter times ever done only 15 have been run by an athlete not banned for drugs or subject to allegations of missed or failed dug tests. Oh, all 15 were run by Usain Bolt.

Eh. There's always time for him to get caught doping. Everybody said the same thing about how naturally great Lance Armstrong was, right up until...

To clarify, I don't personally have a problem with doping. Because the thing is, anyone truly phenomenal at a sport has a fundamentally superior chemistry anyway, it's just a chemistry that they happen to have been born with. More efficient mitochondria, larger lungs, better oxygen utilization, above-average height--it's a myth that great athletes got where they are entirely through hard work, just like it's a myth that doping athletes no longer have to do any work. They still work their butts off, and they still provide the entertainment we're paying for. There's an argument to be made for banning fundamentally unsafe chemicals, but it should have nothing to do with "fairness," IMHO. Use the science and take the chemicals, I don't give a shit.
