I just hope she doesn't get a cut when they're giving her chemo because her blood doesn't properly clot not that she would know that because when she was ready about her autism she saw all the letters as backwards and also this means she an alcoholic right?

Whatever else you want to say about Karen Carpenter, even she knew better than to eat cinnamon raisin bagels.

The National League almost adopted the DH in the mid-1970's, but the Phillies owner, who would have provided the deciding majority vote, was on a fishing trip and could not be reached to confirm his position on a last-minute amendment to the proposal.

Thanks to the comments in an AL.com article, that Papa Murphy's is categorized as "deli" because the pizza is not cooked, and therefore you can buy it with EBT cards.

I somehow missed this, but Ronald Reagan's White House Chief of Staff for two years was named Donald Regan.

Emerson College in Boston has a BA in Comedic Arts (i.e. Comedy/Standup Comedy). Its tuition is $42,144 + another 17K for room, board, and such. Can't imagine that conversation between parent and student.

You can apparently build your own GSM base station for about $500.

https://www.evilsocket.net/2016/03/31/h ... nd-profit/

That means any random Joe can build one of these and your cell phone will connect to it if it's the strongest signal. Put one of these in a busy place and you could collect a lot of information about a lot of people. This one is for GSM, but I suspect CDMA (used in North America) is probably not much different.

Not even the ugliest soccer player. Carlos Tevez and Ronaldhino give Ribery a challenge.

You can fix a key problem or two with both of them and make them atleast passable. Every individual piece of Ribery's head/face is messed up to the point of turning a guy who would be a 9 into like a 5.

Come on. Tevez has royally fucked up teeth, his neck resembles the surface of the moon, but more cratered, he has a neanderthal ridge and unibrow. If Ribery didn't have the scar, he would look like a normal, but unattractive person.

Hand to god, I never noticed Ribery's scar.
