Instead, have the IRS recognize that football is not part of the academic mission of the college, and thus contributions to the football program would no longer be tax deductible.

Six years ago, my son and I were driving through Eldon, Iowa, so I decided to show the original American Gothic house to my son. A middle-aged couple were there with their two college-aged kids. Their son was taking a picture of the rest of the family, so I volunteered to take a picture of all of them. The patriarch of the family offered to reciprocate and take a picture of my son and me. After taking the picture, he looked at the back of the camera to see the image, but I explained to him that I had an archaic roll film camera with no instant preview. Then I noticed, and asked him, "Aren't you Senator Tom Harkin?" He was. This wasn't his family, this was his staff. So they took a picture of him, my son, and me in front of the house. The picture is at the link.

The National Coalition for the Stoopid is against the way that schools have stigmatized dumb people.

@RD Different breeds have different dispositions. I've had the best luck with Orpingtons and Australorps. And with my son and his friends, they were handled a lot as chicks so they were socialized more. A major downside is that they poop wherever they are, so they are unsavory.

Follow the website I posted to see the dodecahedral coop that my son and I built.

I have a (nearly maxed out) credit card printed on a copy of Starry Night. Funny that they would use a work by a bankrupt artist who sold nothing during his lifetime.

No fooling!

It's a control box for changing the direction of your TV antenna atop your house. The antenna had a motor to reorient it to different directions for better signal reception. This box controlled the motor.

If I win, I'd like a velociraptor skull t-shirt, please, in men's x large, for my 20 year old son.

If the brain is "fossilized" how could it still contain cells?

Isn't fossilization the replacement of organic material by stone, creating a cast of the organic material?

Just asking.

I went to high school with Scot Halpin in Muscatine Iowa. He's only a "schmuck" to those who don't know him.
