Not even Asian students. I had a boss who came from Czechoslovakia to Michigan in 1969. He knew only a few words of English. They put him in first grade. By the end of the year, he was in his grade level and getting As. He then went on to get a PhD from Stanford in Immunology and a law degree.

Who cares what the @#%& DC Tom thinks?

He did have cancer,if I remember correctly. Maybe it recurred?

He did shut up when I pointed out he was not an expert on biology.

I saw on TLC once about this teenage girl who was perfectly normal. She got in a car accident and needed a CAT scan or MRI of her head. They found her cereberum was only a 1/2-1 thick layer just inside of her skull. Where most of the brain was supposed to be was cerebro-spinal fluid. She went on to get a college degree and is living a normal life.

The dems fled the state because there needs to be a quorum of 20 to vote. There are 19 Republicans and 16 dems. One of the dems has to be in the sate (the governor can get the cops to haul them into the capitol) to get a quorum.

Recently Kenneth Mars (Crazy Playwright in the original Producers, Police Inspector with the wooden arm in Young Frankenstein, and recently the German dude ranch owner on Malcolm in the Middle) and Len Lesser (Uncle Leo on Seinfeld) died. Didn't see any mention here.

In the previous flyby, the satellite was out ahead of the comet. It released a fridge-sized block which was slowed down, basically having the comet rear end it. The satellite analyzed the material kicked up by the impact. It will be interesting to see the impact crater, now that the dust has settled from the man-made impact.

I think it's 53 BILLION, not Million.

I knew someone that interned with the NY legislature. He said a a particular woman legislator who's husband was back in the district, would be on the floor with hickeys all the time.

They are taking bids for a high speed rail from LA to SF. The first part they want to build is from an empty area near Fresno to an empty area near Bakersfield.

"Four legs Good! Two Legs Bad!"

Yeah, why isn't Davis Schwimmer dead yet?

The word is tithes, not tides

Wait until you are middle age. Had three former classmates die last year from cancer. Looking at the obits, I'm seeing more and more people from the decade I was born in dying.

I know someone that is a studio singer in LA and has sung in a lot of commercials. She is one of the voices doing the intros and outros to commercials Can't stand the show. She did it because they pay well.

Watched about 30 seconds at the start of halftime/ BEP can't sing, they need that electronic crap to put them on key. Also can't play instruments. The Who may be old, but they still can rock. Watched local news instead.

Want to have a rectal explosion? Eat sugar-free JellBelly Belly Flops. I worked near their factory Friday and stopped in at the bulk store at the factory and bought 4 bags. Ate almost a whole bag and an hour later had to rush to the throne. After I was done, I read the packaging: "Consumption may cause stomach discomfort and/or LAXATIVE EFFECT". "Suggest starting with 8 beans or less". Eating less now, I can still play a tune about an hour later.

Upper 70s and brilliant sun in the Sf Bay area today.

Tom doesn't want to face the fact that he is whipped.

I heard the 1971 version live. Was 14 at the time. Remember they did a real good job on it.

Israel offered the Arabs ("palesteinians" is made up recently) the same rights when it was formed. They wanted it all, so Israel told the to get out if they didn't like it. Jordan wised up to these a-holes and kicked them out too. Syria is hiding behind them to constantly shell Israel. When ISrael retaliates to protect itself, it gets lambasted for "attacking".

Don't eat snow. As a kid, I heard how much dust, etc is in the air. I took a Cool Whip container outside and let it get filled up with fresh snow. Brought it inside and let it melt. Surprised at the amount of dirt in the water. No wonder he air is so clear after a snowfall.

Supposed to be 65 and sunny here. Have to call my brother to see how much OT he is getting. He drives a plow for Erie County. Edit: Called my mom in Cheektowaga. They got about a foot overnight. She said my brother worked until midnight (normal shift), went home and was called in at 8 AM.
