I thought it was a good job, too! Now, let's see ... what was I doing when I was a 10-year old lad. Probably just busy reading comic books and avoiding doing HW....
In the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) boundary 65 million years ago, there was sudden and massive extinction. This didn't just affect dinosaurs: marine animal and plant life were both affected.
On the other hand, extinction is a process, and although asteroid played a big role, other factors like diseases, lack of food, or climate change might have been the ones that finished off the big guys.
I do like Rudy - though I haven't decided whom to vote for, I'd give him a serious thought if he got the Republican nomination.
If or when Andrew Arnold make one parodying Democratic candidates (or if anyone can point one out that is as funny/well done), I'll be sure to post it.
@Brayden - I'm sorry to hear that your father had to undergo surgery, but am glad to hear that he is on the road to good health. Recently, my father had a mild stroke (he's also recovering, thank God) so I know what it felt like having a health emergency in your family.
I was actually sympathetic to morbidly obese people like Renee Williams. I don't think that the condition is their fault (I mentioned that "I don’t think morbidly obese people like Rene could control what she ate - even if she wanted to.")
In extreme cases like Renee's, there is always an enabler: she is bed-ridden and cannot get out of bed. Even though her condition worsened and her weight ballooned, someone in her family a) didn't call the doctor b) kept on feeding her lots of food.
In many cases of gastric bypass surgery, nurses have to frisk/search family members visiting the patient for food contrabands!
I changed my mind about capital punishment. I used to think that there are crimes so heinous that the only suitable punishment is the death penalty.
I still think there are criminals who deserved to die slow, painful deaths a thousand times over, but I've lost confidence in the justice system in determining guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
Whenever I read reports of inmates released after decades of incarceration for crimes they didn't commit, I thought "how many people have we put to death for crimes they didn't commit?"
In my defense, I get seasick easily and thus avoided all sort of vessels that go on the water.
Better question is: how many wings eating competition does one have to enter to earn the nickname "Wing Tut"?
And I'm glad you've regained your vision, JR! I wince at the thought of getting hot sauce in my eyes...
Then I thought "Hm, if he is a criminal, what are the chances he'd have a gun or something?"
@Roger, re: entrapment - don't police do it all the time? They just call it a "sting operation".
How about the rest of Latin America - is it "frijol" or "judías"?
