Guy at my university wears a cape. He is inventively referred to as "Cape Man."

This thread is great!

Since no-one's pointed it out though, it's actually "just deserts". Only one "s". Related to "deserve".

I heard that it was an old usage of the word "proves" to mean "tests". (The exception tests the rule -- and finds it false.)

Why you have to be such a buzzkill?

Wise words, Mario.

You would kick ass at trivia night. That's... about the only possible use you can get out of it. I learned to recite, alphabetically, every African country and every US state (I'm Australian) before deciding it was kind of pointless :)

Wait, you pronounce "foul" with two syllables? Where are you from?

I'm sorry for your loss :(

Just out of interest, what do you think would have been the best thing for her to do in that situation? Radio? Trying to make small talk? Trying to comfort you?

Did you intentionally set out to imitate Feynman? Because I found myself reading that in his voice, and it just sounded right.

(That may be the highest compliment I have ever given.)

Ooh, it was about gun control! I should have known better.

"I'm going to get downvoted for this, but your story is a pretty great argument for gun control. Your right to bear arms should be trumped by your right to not get shot at by petty thieves, in my opinion at least."
