"... and *OTHER* neurodegenerative ..." (emphasis mine)

Have you ever seen someone die from ALS? It's sort of a "reverse Alzheimer's". The body shuts down, while the victim remains mentally aware, trapped inside her own body, knowing what is happening to her.

Remember, Alzheimer's and Dementia are not the only neurodegenerative disease.

Or in other words..... CORRELATION DOES NOT EQUAL CAUSATION.

As has been pointed out many, many times in other discussions.

To be fair, I'm willing to be Californiaman, if it keeps Kim Kardashian and Kanye West out of California!!!

I'm not your bud, guy!

It was preemptive, in case somebody asked for a car analogy.

You had sewers and barrels of toxic waste? You lucky, jammy bastard!!!!

WE had to dig our own sewers, and then build the chemical plants to GENERATE the toxic waste!!! I'd have killed for barrels of premade waste!

You don't have to take the triple play. I have TWC for TV and UVerse for phone/Internet.

Carly is the idiot who took down one great institution and damned near destroyed a second.

She destroyed AT&T Bell Labs, and damn near took down HP, trying to turn it into a glorified ink company.

I was working for a defense contractor in the late 80's. I had developed a prototype test driver for our system, that talked to the target system over an RS-232 interface.

This was back in the days of serial terminals, so no graphics.

I had put in an easter egg, that if you ran the program with my name as the sole argument, it displayed a little ASCII animation intro. The funny thing was that I had actually made a mistake on the first cut, and it scrolled in upside down. So I kept it, added "Oops, start over", and reran the animation properly.

It was originally for internal use only, so nobody cared. Eventually the marketeers saw some potential in it, and started selling it to DoD clients. They made me take the egg out at that point.

"Ushering in..." That wasn't Hugh, that was a direct quote from TFA.

Are you a Turtle?

Been once since 1975!

Dammit! You beat me to it!
