It makes sense if you assume the Dean is the president of the United States.

I put together this "experiment checklist" for the grad students in my experiments class -- practical advice for experimental design. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/lwbco...

I'm sure there is a fun paper to write about athletes winning in courts that are co-located with the university they attend. www.oudaily.com/sports/ou-fo...

I’m sorry but we are not attractive as a group so we don’t understand how this works.

I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.

So true.

For the area that I know well (hiking and camping) Reddit and my knowledge diverge from wirecutter. Sometimes I just want someone else to make the decision for me though.

My child will be kicked out of gymnastics after my long email about the naming conventions for the categories.

I order the most boring drink on the menu, small black coffee, but using Lauren's name on the app so it confuses people.

I'm really interested to see if the 2026 midterm turnout matches 2018. Trying to model turnout is going to be hard.

The Carl Albert Center hosts two endowed lectures and if you try to move out of the faculty speaker space the prices get high very quickly. On the other hand, the honorariums are very good for faculty speakers.

I'm sorry but an egg Mcmuffin is the perfect sandwich.

Astronauts: Which one is window 1 again? Is it the one next to the microwave?

NASA: Negative observations are still science.

NASA: Swap out your memory cards so we know who took the pictures
Astronauts: Yeah, we don't want to do that. We are a little busy up here.

Read into this what you want but if the 24 Senators up for reelection in Oklahoma, seven didn’t draw an opponent. Six of those are Democrats.
