Most of the mis-delivered mail I receive is also meant for the previous owners of my house. They ran a towing company, and the bulk of their mail is addressed to that. Why a towing company would want to subscribe to Comcast, I don't know, but Comcast keeps sending them flyers.

I occasionally get mail for the people who owned the house before them, which puts it back 10 years or so.

I'm sorry, this is AMERICA. Where we care about portion sizes, not flavor.

Before I accept new inputs of any kind, I'd like to be sure I have the capability to process it all. Otherwise, I'd run the risk of a cacophony of sound/light/thoughts/what have you.

Assuming my brain is sufficiently upgraded, some kind of seismic capability would be nice so that I can detect what lies behind visible surfaces.

Turns out the cat will not stay in the box. So the experiment can never be done.

It's not that remarkable. Billion to one coincidences happen nine times out of ten.

I'm the same way. A standard (in the US) 20 oz bottle usually lasts me at least two meals. And I don't drink it every day, so it sometimes goes flat before I finish it. I did not feel well after the last time I drank the entire bottle at one sitting.

I actually like those mini-cans you sometimes see with 7-8 oz. It's a total ripoff on price, but I'm more likely to actually finish it before it goes flat.

But never for breakfast.

Agreed. Although I personally would swap out the OJ for additional vodka. Cut out the sugar altogether.

Dinosaurs are a monophyletic clade as long as you include birds, which descended from the Theropods.

Theropods and Sauropods are much more closely related to each other than to lizards. They're even both on the Saurischian branch. All of the above are Diapsids in the Sauria clade, but the ancestors of the lizards and snakes (Lepidosauromorpha) branched off from the ancestors of the crocoldilians and Dinosaurs (Archosauromorpha). I've spent way too much time looking at dinosaur phylogeny lately.

It's the term "Reptile" that doesn't make sense.

My son's really into that too. I like that they try to work some science into it. But while I have no problem with talking, time-traveling, train-riding dinosaurs, it bothers me that the female pteranodons have eyelashes.

I've never found that children lack interest in dinosaurs.

Quark may still be allowed. It also refers to a type of fresh cheese. However, it might be considered a German word, in which case it's still invalid. Also I have no idea when it was first produced, but likely before 1938.

The best _kind_ of correct.

Especially important when working in the "Musk" Observatory.

At least with an enemy you know where you stand, but a "neutral"?

It wouldn't have been that remarkable, because people had been already been milking sheep and possibly goats for millenia by the time the cow was domesticated.
