It's a prototype model for headwear for the band Devo!

Schrodinger's Cat "It's a trap!" t-shirt, men's size XL.

(Actually it's for checking the balance of mower blades during the sharpening process.)

I recall watching that Carol Burnett episode with my family. My dad said he thought the scene of McLean Stevenson in the raft was an indication that Stevenson thought he made a mistake by leaving the show.

Someone didn't think this out. Once they took the food away and disposed of it, they couldn't really go back and charge the parents for it, now could they? If they had just kept track of the food taken by the children they could just bill the parents after the fact.

I understand the school shouldn't be in the business of providing credit for school lunches, but the way they handled this incident, both the children and the school lost out.

This is not an algebraic equation, these are Roman numerals. The Roman numeral X equals 10, the Roman numeral I equals 1. However, the way the numerals add up is dependent on their order. If the smaller numeral is after the larger one, their values are added together, so XI has a value of 11, whereas if you place the smaller numeral before the larger one, you subtract the smaller from the larger, meaning IX equals 9. So the original equation XI + I = X would mean 11 + 1 = 10 which is incorrect. The mirror image of that becomes X = I + IX which is 10 = 1 + 9 which is indeed true.

It wasn't very accurate from my perspective. 57% conservative/43% liberal indicates I am closer to a centrist than I see myself.

One thing I don't understand is how using a "modern browser" marks one as a liberal.

Although not mentioned in the post, Bob Denver lived for a time in St. Louis, Missouri. When my wife was young she and her family lived just a few houses down the street from him.
