"The Dale Earnhardts of the handlebars turn into colicky babies over every minor impediment to their progress. They tweet their rage whenever a bike lane is blocked by any of the inevitable nuisances — like utility digs, construction and fire trucks. You know, the things most New Yorkers deal with every single day while taking it in their stride. Fury’s in their blood, as was true of the guys who wished me death by dump truck over my last bike lane-bashing column. Bring it on, boys! But spare the women and children."

How Pot Noodle almost killed man - and the hero in his undies who saved him

British Medical Journal: Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma when jumping from aircraft: randomized controlled trial

Parachute use did not reduce death or major traumatic injury when jumping from aircraft in the first randomized evaluation of this intervention. However, the trial was only able to enroll participants on small stationary aircraft on the ground, suggesting cautious extrapolation to high altitude jumps.

A Florida politician allegedly made a habit of licking men's faces. She has now resigned.

Son defends parents caught in college admissions scandal while smoking blunt

In her practice, Dr. Levine said, she regularly sees college freshmen who “have had to come home from Emory or Brown because they don’t have the minimal kinds of adult skills that one needs to be in college.”

One came home because there was a rat in the dorm room. Some didn’t like their roommates. Others said it was too much work, and they had never learned independent study skills. One didn’t like to eat food with sauce. Her whole life, her parents had helped her avoid sauce, calling friends before going to their houses for dinner. At college, she didn’t know how to cope with the cafeteria options — covered in sauce.

taste's very strange

At college, covered in sauce

cafeteria food... with club sauce

My son definitely doesn't like sauce on anything and it is very annoying. It looks like he's finally starting to get over it though now at age 10.

bigby's crushing declaration

1/ If Trump starts building his border wall, he can invoke something called a Declaration of Taking. It's like eminent domain on steroids. A court grants title to the land to the federal government. Bulldozers can roll the next day.

Declaration of Taking just sounds like something out of a D&D campaign.

Bags of holding are pretty central to the ruleset.
