Platner apologists sure give us all a lot to think about

Iran can't block the Strait of Hormuz if the US is blocking the Strait of Hormuz. Brilliant gambit as always, Sir.

Most people don't know this because he's so humble, but God actually became CEO of The Universe when he was only 28 million years old

If there is a word more fun to spell and say than "zhuzh" I don't want to know what it is

At this point I'm just going to vote for the person that promises to corral everyone involved on a small craft and launch them into permanent geosynchronous orbit

I'm starting to think that maybe it's not great that we have a whole class of people that can mete out corporal and financial punishment with near impunity and leave little recourse for the people who they hurt

A short plant producing purple flowers with an orange center. The leaves are dissected in in such a way that they resemble bird's feet

Bird's foot violet (Viola pedata). I absolutely love these guys and they're important larval hosts for a bunch of fritillary butterflies including Edward's, Great Spangled, Mormon, Coronis, and Variegated
