Squash is a generic term in the commonwealth countries for fruity drinks. None of them being actually based on the vegetable squash...

"...the owner hopes to earn at least $100,000..."

Earn? He's not earning anything. He might gain $100k. But he's done nothing to earn it.

People.

Guys like guns. Most guys never get to use them, "except for that one time, when I got to visit my uncle who lives in the country..." And they talk about it a lot.

It's hard to get to know all the intricacies of guns, but when you see them being wielded in movies - often badly - it's great to know what it is, why it's right, why it's wrong... Excellent source.

And I finish with, for all the haters: guys like guns. PC or not.

Ric Gillespie has been milking this for *years* of trips to the south pacific. I had been a member of TIGHAR for six years or so, and though they found the few articles (the ones mentioned were found by them a long time ago) none of them are conclusive - by a long stretch. The shoe is the wrong size for example.

They did some good, rigorous archeology, but with this latest information release are apparently slipping into some hype about being pretty certain they've found her. He's now mounting another fundraising campaign to finance his lifestyle choice - and using the AE movie for all it's worth. Good luck to him I guess.

Lighten up. Not a crappy work ethic. A sense of humor.

I can't tell you how tired I got of watching staff all around me just disappear for "kids stuff!" People you need work from, people who are alleged to be part of the team... but it's 1:00pm on Friday - "oo sorry... Josh has a dentist appointment. See ya Monday!" It was epidemic at my last company.

Then there are smokers who take ten minute breaks twice an hour...

Rampant in the Bay Area around the Stanford campus. Palo Alto is a black squirrel haven.

Don't get so upset - he's just ramping up his tactics for Andy Rooney's job. Rooney is going to fall over one day very soon, and George has wanted that job since he was about 12.

I have no idea why this continues to make big news. It's like a person who knows how to drive a car taking over driving a Greyhound bus if the driver conked out. He was a pilot already. My qualification for the comment is that I'm a 20 year pilot with experience in lots of airplanes. Guy did a good job, but the real news would have been if he had crashed - what was all that training for?!

this made the rounds a year ago. why is it still being posted? It was proved to be a hoax - it was a marketing stunt (with an RC airplane) for a german company. This is really old news...

Leave it to N'rama to post a story about the ten greatest intellectual fights... followed by a video of a drunken squirrel. Fair and balanced reporting!

Don't forget: vice grips were clamped onto the fuel selector valve in John Denver's airplane! They were clamped on there so the pilot could reach the selector valve, which was behind his shoulder, and switch tanks. (Apparently it was just a bit too awkward for at least one pilot...)

Thanks GGrammar. I was visiting to say that very thing. I know it seems like a small thing to the many, but unique is just that. No degrees of it.

Great Ike clip though, and an interesting slice of history in a media saturated time.

Unfortunely, the Washington state motto may sound like "by and by" but it's a native term (alki) that translates to "bye and bye" or "hope for the future." (Straight from our state web site.)

I'd prefer something colorful like the New Mexico optional offered by Maxipad. But our people take themselves a bit too earnestly for that...

Everyone saying some of the questions were wrong or odd are then saying we who scored 100% are wrong or odd. I reject your reality!

This is the same story in Washington state. First it was for people in semi-arid 2/3rds of the state, where rainfall is about 15" per year. People found collecting rainwater from their downspouts are fined. Insane! But it turns out to be true in Seattle as well - and we get 45" per year. You can collect a barrel full, but you cannot collect larger amounts - like a cistern. The city likes to sell you the water you use, thank you very much.
