    sure, many Americans don't have a great relationship with the map- as per the trope. Even if many Americans are unable to locate Iran on the map, they know that Israel is pulling u…

    right! Pac wasn't convicted until December of '94, and the R. Kelly 'tapes' came out in '01. The hilarity of accusing others of revisionism

    So, who is He-Man, and who is Skelator?

    Indeed as the poet Dwayne Carter once said, “if I’m wrong, there is no right/ and if I’m wrong, there is Snow White”.

    You were expecting a review to overturn the standard Fagles for the Iliad, and Lattimore for the Odyssey?

    Also, wow! At actually implying the Cubs threw games at the Outfit’s behest. Is it blasphemy for me to say for the North Siders,”Say it ain’t so, Joe.”

    I know it's cliche at this point to call it a bygone era, but of just 20-some years ago. All those areas are now filled with luxury condos: Greektown, Fulton district, Cabrini, etc…

    The Kalash language is a mix of the languages found in the region- Tajik, uzbek, tartar, persian, etc. But, there are Greek words for woman, washing, winter, greetings etc used amo…

    Kalash are a relic of Proto-Indo Europeans is a catch all with no evidence. Such claims with no actual evidence is not worth talking about. But I guess the Greeks did leave behind …

    It is odd that people choose to ignore actual archeology- especially when it directly corroborates historical text. Which is quite different than folktales- perhaps your reference …

    More critically? I missed your clear deduction from the evidence on how it is "dumb", as you say. The Kalash are the people who Alexander (sikandar) left behind. So, you realize th…

    Paul, a biological catalyst for biodiesel production is all well and good, but does this process still need an exogenous alcohol- namely methanol, or ethanol?

    Dang, and I’m out here still trying to figure out how to level the ender3 v2 bed. In the process of updating the firmware, the screen display became corrupted. And crealty has not …

    I thought the headline was referring to the autoexec.bat file.

    Hmm, the currency in euros, but the bureaucracy is American. So, you’re not the venture capitalist.

    I was under the impression that iron causes more damage- hence, why the Iron Age followed the Bronze Age, because the people with the iron armor and swords would pierce through the…

    Wow, you are very lucky to be continually finding books that leave such an impact on you that your _favorite_ book keeps changing. For example, for me, when I was 17, I read what I…

    Right. Because Gore told Oprah that his favorite book was 'The Red and The Black", making him appear like a typical waffling politician?

    This is a headline right out of the Onion. But also a great way to raise gov revenues, or increase the speed limits to what locals actually drive at

    I feel like I responded to this above, but I’ll restate it. First, I’m not really following your logic. Not everyone is running for President, and are not potentially liable or gui…
