I saw some people fishing the other day in 16 degree Fahrenheit (-9 Celsius) weather at 4:30AM. They were not ice fishing with a little hut, but standing at the base of a bridge with no shelter or campfire. People are at that bridge fishing regularly when it is cold but that was the coldest temp I have seen so far. Why is it so...
Would get away to fish for two weeks. No cell phones, no technology, just living (camping) in nature. Enjoy the beauty of the lake and the challenge of catching a fish. Isn't always easy and you probably throw back more than you keep. Sit on the boat with your buddies, drink beer, BS about anything, and every now and then reel in what feels like Mobey Dick at the end of your line but turns out to be a stick.
Clever and I get the joke and it made me smile. If I recall my biology from 20 years ago I think the cell makes duplicates of its chromosomes then splits apart. So you have two cells inside one membrane that separates, 2 / 1 = 2. The way I first thought about it was one cell splitting in half, so half goes to one cell, the other half with the other, 1 / .5 = 2.
In short, I think the math works out fine, but the language you use to describe it can lead to comedy gold. You could say cells reproduce by division? I don't know, I'm not a biologist or mathematician. I'm a toilet poster.
I use mine during work hours, right before bed, and toilet time. After that I sometimes forget where it is. I don't take it with me into places like movies, restaurants, ball games, etc...
I've enjoyed reading many of these comments and I wanted to expand a bit on the reason for the question.
Several friends of mine would camp for several days and do the kind of things guys do. Then we'd realize we're kind of gross, rude, not attractive, have a lot of shortcomings, and generally not full of great qualities. But, we've all been married a long time and will ask ourselves why in the hell did our wives agree to marry ugly, gross fools like us? We know why we married them; they're far better people than we are! My wife is obviously smarter than me and it isn't even a fair comparison.
In the end, I guess we make them laugh and are extremely wealthy.
I lied about the extremely wealthy part. I meant borderline poor.
I love this line, "...is an asteroid-sized moon orbiting a few thousand miles (or kilometers) above the Martian surface..." A few thousand miles...or kilometers, we don't care, pick your favorite.
@PugJesus I thought I replied to this earlier but I guess it didn't stick. I'll try to recall: Great article and really shows the devastation between what was there before and the aftermath that is this photo. They basically destroyed and erased part of their community; the black part of their community.

I get the feeling the more secular the country, or world for that matter, becomes, the more we'll see acceptance of implementing assisted suicide for terminal people.
I think I saw this in person. Isn't it in some mansion turned art museum in Connecticut? I think there is a visual play on the color depending on where you stand.
Cool story but I was completely expecting the first two words after the title, "A rare fungal infection is popping up in an unexpected part of the U.S.", to be "Your mom."

Is your Significant Other unattractive, not too smart, or have some other "limitation"? If so, why did you decide to stay with them?
