If we consider that the gravitational constant "g" applies, we could consider the earth to be "g"round....

There is no gravity - the Earth sucks. -- The Black Hole, superhero.

Because the world is an oblate spheroid
it turns me on

I don't know....just doesn't have the same ring to it....

in footie they should award more indirect FKs for fouls in the penalty box, it just seems they dive too much and "force the foul" and there is this ridiculous notion of "well yes it was a foul but it wasn't really enough to warrant a penalty"

For Andrew Bacevich fans: April 9 interview with Bill Moyers on Afghanistan.

Andrew Sullivan quotes this part on his blog today:

Quote

Osama bin Laden is not Adolf Hitler. Al-Qaeda is not Nazi Germany. Al-Qaeda poses a threat. It does not pose an existential threat. We should view Al-Qaeda as the equivalent of an international criminal conspiracy. Sort of a mafia that in some way or another draws its energy or legitimacy from a distorted understanding of a particular religious tradition.

And as with any other international criminal conspiracy, the proper response is a police effort. I mean, a ruthless, sustained, international police effort to identify the thugs, root out the networks and destroy it. Something that would take a long period of time and would no more succeed fully in eliminating the threat than the NYPD is able to fully eliminate criminality in New York City.

Gee, religion and religious philosophies being perverted and leading to conflict....how can that be???

I never knew how multilaterally talented these lads really are!

That is, unless it snows. They always turn those globes upside down and shake them to make it snow.

Perhaps, in the words of Officer Tom Hansen, they could issue "a stern warning."

Here you go.
Roasting Pans

[jjbrr]

while normally i would appreciate that humor, i even prefaced it with "stupid question." you might be shocked to learn that i did actually google this earlier, which is how i know the prices of walmart's cheapest vs other average ones! if i was interested in roasting pans for thanksgiving, it would have been very helpful.

on the other hand, i don't very much respect the opinions of LOLs on the random internet and somewhat value the opinions of BBF.

They'll want you to take a 14-day free trial. It's worth it. You might even decide to subscribe, which is also, IMO, worth doing.

You can do bacon (or anything else that matters) in a frying pan.

Roast what? Kidney beans?
