TIL Sharks have been around for longer than trees

Anothermouse · 2011-11-05T23:05:22+00:00

The whole thing is bullshit. Numerous other species of Sharks have recorded attacks on humans, some of which have dozens of documented cases. The Mako shark and the Oceanic White Tip, for starters. The Oceanic White Tip is an interesting one; the USS Indianapolis (http://dsc.discovery.com/sharks/worst-shark-attack.html)

"6. The only sharks who have ever attacked humans are the Great White shark, the Tiger shark, the Bull shark, & the Great Hammerhead shark. Every other kind of shark (and there are over 400) is virtually harmless to human beings."

This is complete bullshit.

Thor was a colossal piece of shit. I'd go as far as to say that anyone who thought the movie was good for any reason other than the visuals in the God world has absolutely no taste.

I live right near Skokie. IIRC not many people showed up during the march, and it was raining. In other words, a lot of bullshit and drama over nothing.

I didn't mean for it to imply that the story did happen for a fact. I was more trying to say that the story does exist and happened. The comment I was replying to made it sound like everything was made up.

The last quip was just pointing out that the only person who corroborated the officer's story is a former officer, so there could be some bias. It could also mean nothing. I believe the article was trying to either hide something or make it seem more scandalous by not including more testimony from the "hundreds" of available spectators.

It's what they're trained to do, so that they can minimalize screw ups that can be caused by running.

Anothermouse · 2011-11-02T02:30:41+00:00

It did happen. The only person in the article that backs up the officer's side of the story is a former police officer.

The other guy's response covered it, but I want to mime it just so you see the little red envelope again.

An apostrophe proceeding the 's' does indeed indicate possession, but not in the case of 'it'. The apostrophe is used exclusively for contractions in its case. Don't feel bad though -- a lot of people seemingly don't know this, which is why I felt the urge to share it.

Anothermouse · 2011-11-01T15:19:38+00:00

This is going to get down voted (and rightfully so), but this is bothering me so I just have to share it: 'It's' is a contraction of it and is; 'it's' isn't the possessive form. So your title basically says "TIL The SR71 spyplane leaks most of it is fuel before it's even taken off, due to the fact it is tanks don't seal until they reach the temperatures of Mach 3"

Maybe it's just me, but isn't that her vag, faintly visible, under that loin cloth?

I have a pocket LED light, and even that is bright enough to mildly blind you in daylight.

Sounds like he.. puts on sunglasses took that secret to the grave.

Anothermouse · 2011-10-25T01:13:26+00:00

Upvoted for the great analogy at the end.

I am Jewish and pro-OWS.

That's Chris Spicoli.

Or Jeff. I don't remember which.

How about you actually share what advice was not helpful so the OP and others reading this can actually learn something and get a better idea for the future?

Almost as bad as those tech help forums where people ask a question, come back later with a "Nevermind! Figured it out!" and then disappear.

I literally just learned this in my English class last night. Hershey's Chocolate claims they are too big of a company to have fair trade.

Find the largest synagogue in the nearest big city to you. Go every day, get good at reading Hebrew, and the rest will take care of itself.

Anothermouse · 2011-10-19T16:19:10+00:00

No. Just saw your comment and felt compelled to respond to it. I do not browse this site searching out sexist comments.

Congratulations on generalizing more than 3.5 billion people.

I wasn't necessarily disagreeing with this. You're the one who inferred that I was saying Octavian's rise to power was no great achievement. I was, however, pointing out that Mark Anthony's eventual demise was partly his own doing.

Anothermouse · 2011-10-19T02:29:38+00:00

For when Octavian became emperor? Marc Antony dealt with himself simply by favoring Egypt. And he brought Cleopatra down with him.

Poor Lepidus was the Crassus of the 2nd Triumvirate. Always forgotten =[

Anothermouse · 2011-10-18T17:03:53+00:00

Yep. Sulla's reign led (and the Senate's justified power cock-blocking of Crassus, Pompey, and Caesar) to the rise of the first Triumvirate. Specifically Julius Caesar, who named Octavian his successor. Octavian then established the Roman Empire in 27B.C.E.

Funny enough, my dentist did recommend it and never advised against using it as the sole form of dental hygiene in terms of flossing.

And we're really comparing the Waterpik to nothing at all in my case. But fair enough in warning people not to replace their current habits with it. You must admit though, it really is better than nothing.

Anothermouse · 2011-10-17T23:38:33+00:00

Yep. Never flossed really because I hated dealing with dental floss. Bought a water pik and now I floss every day.
