"To drive from our inner city urban area to our suburbs takes 15 seconds, sometimes 30 if you hit a light."

Seconds? Not minutes?

We aren't even big enough to have an inner city urban area and it takes 15 to 30 minutes to go across town.

Back in the day before the digital conversion, when analog TV channels were actually on the channel number by which they called themselves, Channel 2 started at 54MHz, and Channel 83 had an upper edge of 890MHz.

A channel 2 signal would wrap around a pine tree in the line of sight from transmitter to receiving antenna and keep going, but said tree would stop Channel 83 stone cold dead.

(It's kind of like how you can run both channels into a single sub-woofer because those frequencies are so non-directional, but tweeters have to be designed for wide dispersion if you're going to be able to hear all of both the left and right speakers without having to be pinned to one exact spot, because the higher you go in frequency the more directional a waveform is.)

...are the ones who can't agree with themselves as to how many lights there are.

No, man, it was his mom swallowed the dictionary when she was pregnant with him/her.

They probably start with students because in the beginning they aren't testing the subjects, they're testing the test, trying to make sure there are no unanticipated bugs.

Those symbols on restroom doors are a fairly recent phenomena.

In the '50s and '60s they tended to have the actual words "Men" and "Women" on them (except in the Mad Magazine satire of advertising where it was "Mennen" and "Womennen"), at least here in the states (no doubt some places fancier than say, Sears, had them labeled "Gentlemen" and "Ladies" instead).

I assume that abroad they were in the local language as well.

The stick figure itself, I suspect, has been around as long as there have been humans to scratch them in the dirt with a twig or finger.

They were certainly known over a century ago when used as a plot device in one of Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes" stories.

...or you're actually talking about controlling a team of horses, then yeah, it's supposed to be "rein".

But if you're talking about preferring to be Hell's sole and unchallenged ruler rather than serving in Heaven, then it's "reign in".

Later on they spun off a short lived "Hawk" series from "Spenser:For Hire", but my point was he's a good enough actor that you look at Sisko and never see Hawk, and vice-versa.

"Far Beyond The Stars", where's he's 'negro' syfy writer Benny Russell is some fabulous TV.

"... I didn't get a "great actor" feel from anyone on that series."

We shall have to agree to remain in disagreement.

The use of "politic" the way she used it predates the phrase "politically correct" by decades if not centuries.

Could you post a link to this keyboard (or even a part number searchable on newegg's site) so that I can see what happens when a newegg customer in NC tries to get one?

Did tribal Africa have plenty of food because some of them were selling others of them to slavers, or were they selling each other in spite of not needing to do it to ensure an adequate food supply?

Did you ever see Brooks as "Hawk"?

But somebody has to book the hookers or they won't know where and when to show up for work.

Of course if someone wants to book them for doing the work, that's a different problem.

Well, not the articles or summaries, anyway.

I had a high school history teacher who said the most important invention in human history (or at least one of the most important ones) was soap, since it was so important in reducing the spread of infection and diseases.
