Excellent find - and part of a larger series. Tx.

Excellent, informative post. Thanks for doing the research.

Very interesting. And blogworthy... :-)

There is one other humorous connotation for those familiar with a "Foley attached to a leg bag."

Quite a change from the days of holding two pom-poms and shouting "Give me a W..."

Interesting. It's not clear to me why the sediment that eventually fills an abandoned burrow would have a different consistency from the surrounding dirt and thus fossilize differently.

"The interior of the team’s parka will have an American flag, made with electronic-printed heating inks."

I thought the Flag Code prohibits wearing the flag.

I believe (but don't have a link to confirm) that one way these super-long beards, braids, etc are achieved is not that the hair follicle continues to provide new growth, but that the hairs are interwoven or become matted with body oils and after one hair dies it just stays in the braid/beard supported by the others. Anybody know?

75%. Very interesting.

Interesting. You'd like to think a sweater keeps a dog warm, but by compressing the fur the net effect may be minimal.

I would suppose the center circle is not a space capable of being occupied by a piece, but rather just a map of pathways to the next "square." Interesting that the pathway for a bishop is a complete circle. And I think the choice of grey for the third color was more artistic than practical for the players involved. But interesting - and way better than the old "3-dimensional chess" fiasco.

I don't understand how the dog inside the fence "dragged" the blanket partway outside the fence. Looks more like the dog ouside the fence grabbed the blanket, and the inside dog sat on it to keep it from being stolen. Maybe I'm too old and cynical.

But it also pretty much guarantees that it will be stolen off the front porch after being delivered.

Note this development would also subvert any attempt by the waitstaff to pool and equally share their combined tips. Good? Bad? don't know.
