Edward's Comments

They left out the "Laugh-In" follow up with Tim Conway, "Turn-On." That one I did see. Then there was the "Black Donnellys". The pilot might be the best first episode in TV history. The second show was so bad I (and apparently everyone else) turned it off after 20 minutes.

Macchio won my heart in both "The Karate Kid" and "Crossroads". Kind of lost interest when he (and everybody else) milked the Kid franchise to death. "Crossroads" is a Love It/Hate It movie but well worth watching as it ages quite well.

Granted, eating at a urinal is tacky enough, but what designer in their right mind would pair flimsy, green, plastic barstools with these hulking edifices of 19th century industrial porcelain?

I will leave to others to joke about the convenience of drinking beer in front of a urinal.

That will likely last for only a few minutes. Running simple DC motors in reverse will generate electricity. Modern chargers and DC motors have circuitry that prevents bad things from happening and that circuitry fails if the current flow is too high or gets too hot.

I have tried this sort of thing in the past and have ruined a few items with DC motors in the process.

Muscle fibers are about 100 micrometers in width. The wavelength of visible light is about 500 nanometers across. Muscle fibers are 200 times larger. The spacing of CD pits is 1.6 micrometers, only 3 times larger than light.

The cup is part of a bar trick: If you are at a party with balloons, create the physical setup and then ask the crowd, "Who wants to bet that I cannot move the matchstick without touching the glass or the table?" It would be kind of lame if you have to bring your own balloon.

According to my sources (third hand, unfortunately), The Godfather, caused a sea change in Mob behavior. The public expected mobsters to talk like rude, Italian immigrants from the 1950's so they started talking that way.

Living in Southern California, there are many Mexican restaurants which are labeled as not being authentic. The most derided is, of course, my favorite. So, when I took a native-born Mexican girlfriend there for the first time what was her reaction? She cried because the food was so good and declared the refried beans to be second best only to her mother's. Authentic does not equal good.

The restaurants in this article might be horrible *and* authentic.
