I once watched my cousin chase a single pea around her plate with a fork for ten minutes. We were both highly entertained by this exercise.
Yes, she finally caught the pea and ate it.

Most of these are no surprise. However, anything claimed about celebs is suspect (my bias). Cite, please?!

Excellent! I was one of those kids that barfed in the car, when I was still too small to see above the seats and out the windows. This was before car seats or seat belts. Given this explanation for motion sickness, wouldn't the advent of car seats for children, in addition to saving their lives, have helped prevent kids from puking so much, when they could better sync up their eyes and ears with their brains? Comments from parents?

Goood dog owner! Here's a biscuit... and thank you both.

You and me both. I pull over to the shoulder of the road, like an emergency vehicle is headed my way, and wait for that truck to travel well out of sight, then go slower so I'm sure not to catch up.

To quote a friend of mine on another blog, the main character - "Stark, can get on your nerves". But who's to say what acceptable behavior is for a guy who spent eleven years in hell, killing Hellions in the arena, as a 'live human' attraction? I wouldn't read them twice, but for a first read, they're hard to put down. I just picked up the fourth one, available in hardback.
Haven't read the Odd Thomas novels, but I'll check them out. I'm also reading Tad Williams, 'The Dirty Streets of Heaven'. Yup, heaven and hell simultaneously, just for balance.

Well then, henceforth, Assemblyman Jay Webber can drive to work every day behind a pickup truck with some large, nervous, and unrestrained dog in the back, bouncing from one side of the truck bed to the other, and Jay can wonder if he's about to be made responsible for killing that dog directly, when it loses its balance, or witness the dog's death from hitting the pavement at high speed. Would he begin to think that government has a role in protecting those dogs from the carelessness of their owners, just as children do?
For those of us who love dogs, it's terrifying to watch. I can not drive behind such careless dog owners.

I'm surprised he wasn't cut up, and can I assume shoulder harnesses are not required in Russia? He hardly had time to detach one before impact.

Our brains are programmed to identify and be wary of those among us who operate behaviorally waaaaay outside accepted norms. The entertainment industry know this and uses it to get attention for their performers. Given the public has the attention span of a flea on meth, the effort to get attention to keep 'properties' saleable and in the public eye increases and gets wackier every year. I fully expect to see leading, legitimate?, dramatic actors having real sex on film in the near future, and appearing before the paparazzi totally nude. Maybe in a pair of 4" heels.
Some of these folks are just nuts, but they didn't start out in their careers that way. As someone who is fond of my privacy, I have to think that that lifestyle would be crazy-making, addictive, and deeply corroding to one's soul. Assuming they didn't already sell their souls to the Devil in exchange for fame. (I'm reading the third Sandman Slim novel...)
Interested to see that Jeff Probst made all four quadrants.

Hah! Didn't see that one coming - too funny. I wonder how many people reading Neatorama remember that Looney Tunes cartoon.

Yes, but can she pick up a 7-10 split?

Lucky? Before allowing a man to toss me over his shoulder and start running, I would want to be real clear that consent was one of the precepts of the sport.
