So, people place a value on their time. Will wonders never cease?

I'd like to see the data normalized to dollars to per hour to see exactly how much value they placed on their time.

While I agree with Randolph's assessment, I disagree with his actions. It is the school's job to coach students in academic excellence. It is the parent's job to teach them character. Even more so, if the school abandons academics, most students will be stupid well as having poor character.

Let's go on a snipe hunt this weekend. They run half way between the full and new moon in September.

Most people will understand this immediately: go to court as soon as possible. List 100 witnesses that will testify they are jerks without a cause. Allow them to bring forward all two of their friends who will say they are not that bad.

Lawyers under corporate contrat will generate as many billable hours as they can even if that means their client loses in the long run.

This is an excellent example of what chipping a pet can and cannot do.

As for the five year "journey", I cannot imagine that the cat traveled on its own. My best guess is that someone moved from Colorado to New York and the cat, well, it is a runner after all.

Hey! We had to do this every year in gym class Junior High School (circa 1970) . It appears that I would have qualified as Excellent during 9th grade. In fact, I held the school record for the Indoor Shuttle Run.

History has shown us that economic super powers are far more benign than military ones. As long as China keeps its military strictly defensive, I think we will be OK.

My grandmother was born into a world that relied on horses and left one that had put a man on the moon and created a world wide data network. The trend of my years is the rapid obsolescence of recording media. Books will not go away, just their distribution media.

Olivia Newton John, according to her own website, was born in 1948. Grease came out in 1978 which would make her 30. There were claims at the time that she was even older.

This is only for fatal injuries, not all workplace deaths. Back in the 80's, when I was at a plant with 10,000, every year three men would die at their desks from heart attacks. That is ten times the current death rate from injuries.
