That's a good idea, Kev.

On the other hand, does this take into account how many people are anonymous? Even if they aren't, many people, like my parents, aren't in the phone book so having our names and cities doesn't really provide much information.

While I don't doubt a diligent thief can find out all he needs to know to rob someone in any given city with a little effort, I personally don't know anyone who shares their address over the web.

Of course, I'm a student, so I always give my parents' address and not my real one anyway.

Yeah, slow, poor use of "glazing" but still fascinating.

I always felt kind of special being born in 1984. So much of what later came to be a huge part of my life got its start then. My mom, of course, always talked about taking me to see Amadeus when I was a baby. I feel really sorry for the other people in the theatre.

I'm surprised he didn't include things like who was president in the US and stuff, since much hay has been made in my life that both of my sisters and I were born in Election/Olympic years. 1984/1988/1996

Of course, the most surreal experience in anyone's life is talking with someone you've known from the day they were born. You see glimmers of intelligence in kids from a very young age, but one day you realize they're leaving youtube comments...

Just keep knocking down those straw men, Joel.

I've always been a fan of this loose impressionist style of sculpture. I believe you've featured similar work before, but we have a beautiful driftwood sculpture of a horse at the Portland Art Museum.

"Another speculation apparently laid to rest by the new study is that Akhenaten had a genetic disorder that caused him to develop the feminine features seen in his statutes, including wide hips, a potbelly, and the female-like breasts associated with the condition gynecomastia. (See "Men With Breasts: Benign Condition Creates Emotional Scars.")

When the team analyzed Akhenaten's body using medical scanners, no evidence of such abnormalities were found. Hawass and his team concluded that the feminized features found in the statues of Akenhaten created during his reign were done for religious and political reasons."

Hmm...

We've known for a long time that king tut's father was Akhenaten, my personal favourite among the pharaohs. Akhenaten himself was deformed, so it doesn't surprise me at all that Tutankhamun suffered as well.

And wasn't Tut married off to one of HIS half sisters?

The Amarna period is so fascinating.

Aptly named Party Pooper, you are not wrong that Star Wars is ubiquitous, but some of us still get a kick out of it, having been born in the eighties or later. Maybe just avert your eyes and leave us alone?

I don't know what I can say that hasn't been said, but it's my personal feeling that if we want an environment where people have ACTUAL ACCESS to the things they need to be upwardly mobile regardless of their background, this kind of lottery is going to be necessary. If we didn't have these kinds of restrictions, our country would be functionally homogenous with a permanent under class that would probably be just one or two colours.

This isn't preventing specific people from getting into college. I mean, you might as well get pissed off that they can only allow so many people in general to attend in any given year, because that's also arbitrarily restricting access. In the end, you're still competing on merit, and an exemplary high school student is not going to have any trouble getting into college. It just may not always be Yale.

OH NO, Someone had an idea that wasn't OMG %100 ORIGINAL (tm)! That makes them a HACK. MY DAY IS RUINED!

And Shannon, religion is mostly hard wired. Evidence shows that some people are born with the inability to be religious, while others can't help it. Introducing religion for the first time in adulthood would probably change nothing.
