Actually it was Eratosthenes more than 2000 years ago. https://www.windows2universe.org/?page=/citizen_science/myw/w2u_eratosthenes_calc_earth_size.html What bugs me is the science deniers who use the Internet to spread their BS. Without science, the Internet wouldn't exist.

I don't believe in submarines. I can't fathom the possibility of underwater travel.

Seriously. Every great story should be a trilogy.

Muslims believe in the Bible - especially the Old Testament. http://www.religioustolerance.org/comp_isl_chr2.htm

I learned a long time ago that you can't use logic to argue with illogical people. They don't care about science. Or evidence.

If we go back to WNY to visit family, we'll hit the Great Blue Heron Music Festival. http://greatblueheron.com/wp/ We're also planning to see Dead and Company at Alpine Valley (Wisconsin).

There are a lot of CEOs who fit that description too.

Wow - I've seen that movie several times and never noticed that before.

Eight defenders, because we're a run-first team.

There's "Outside the box" and then there's "Box? What box?" This idea is beyond both. Even if TT's contract was expiring, nobody is going to trade picks to sign a mediocre QB with a franchise tag salary. That's a triple-losing scenario.

“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.” ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

What kind of "wrestling" are we talking about?

Nuttin' but what the Good Lord give 'er.

If she doesn't finish in 30 minutes or less, it's free.

We used to raise chickens. Shell color varies with the breed of chicken, but there's no difference in taste or nutritional value. Deeper orange yolks tend to have more nutrients and better flavor, but that's a function of the hens' food, not the breed or shell color. Free range chickens get a more diverse diet, which leads to healthier and better tasting eggs.

I agree. Why would Philly trade the Super Bowl MVP QB for an aging, albeit still very good, RB? The Bills fleeced them once on the Shady trade; they won't let that happen again.

The retrievers (Golden and Lab) I've known were very playful as puppies, but relatively calm as adults. All the ones I know are rescues, so they're likely retriever mixes, not purebreds.

He was a part-time employee at the aerospace company.

First, thank you for your service. Second, to the part in bold:

Yeah - that too.

I have my share of personal accomplishments, and I'm proud to look back on them, but I prefer a life of balance. Many of my fondest memories are the good times I've had with family and friends. As people approach the end of their lives, I doubt many of them are saying, "I wish I had spent more time at the office."
