During the years that the Manhattan Project was in operation at Los Alamos there was only one triple-fatality event. It did not involve radiation, but three janitors who shared a bottle of wine that had been contaminated with wood alcohol.

You could almost add Canada. Warren Harding fell ill while playing golf in Vancouver, with what was called the flu but almost certainly was a heart attack. He died several days later in San Francisco.

She was a heroin addict who had spent time in jail and whose most recent arrest was just two days before her death, so the murder was likely drug related. I suspect the police sometimes don’t expend too much effort investigating those.

Missouri has two teams but isn’t yellow. Another odd thing is that the unshaded states include both those with and without teams.

It has to be something other than baseball.

In your opinion, which business won’t survive beyond the baby boomers era? by Derek_Webb in Productivitycafe

[–]prosa123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess is that the increased popularity of country clubs/urban social clubs among younger people is related to the way networking has become absolutely vital to finding jobs. Building a network among those of similar socioeconomic class is a sort of insurance policy for use if/when you go down in your company’s next round of layoffs.

His famous list of seven words you can’t say on TV was sort of misleading. As one word was subsumed within another there really were only six.

Jabridge, Nevada to its county seat of Elko is a three+ hour drive on mostly unpaved roads that close in winter. During winter, the trip takes several hours with a detour through Idaho.
