Every city should have a Sphere. In fact they should have six, enclosing and inscribed within each of the Platonic solids, a different order for each of 120 cities, so that we can finally figure out the structure of planetary orbits.

Everyone talks about the pick six that will forever be the last thing he did in a game, but don't sleep on the hilariously weak tackle afterwards that let the pick six happen.
Bullock was two inches from the sideline, Rodgers is 225 and hits him square on, and… nothing. Just amazing.

It was always a longshot that I'd get to see Team St-Georges play when I go to the Scotties finals this year (they usually finish middle of the pack) but they didn't qualify this year. Very sad!
(I had absolutely no reason for deciding they were my favorite team, which is the best kind of fandom.)

Bagged ice retails at about $0.50/kilo.
There are 2.9 quintillion kilos of ice in Greenland.
We're swimming in cream, as long as we can also invade the country where they make those plastic bags.

Given the quick succession in which I encountered these posts this has to be the funniest "situational Milkshake Duck" I've ever seen.

More than a year into my new part-time admin job, finally got a pair of shoes that at least pretend to be something other than sneakers.

I don't even want to think about the chaos it would sow in the curling world. I hardly think Canada is going to stand idly by while Americans try to steal Calgary's Team Skrlik out from under them.

Impossibly, willfully dumb frame. You are not the viceroy of a country whose acting president in full control of state apparatus just called for your Yanqui head on a platter.
Even Rubio (if not Trump) gets this. What's the Washington Post's excuse? Oh, right.

80s tweens would have been playing D&D Basic anyway, featuring character classes like "Elf."
"What's your character?"
"An elf."
"No, I mean, what does he do?"
