Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This book looks cool: Corrupted Science: the history, cause, effect and state of bad science
This part of the review stands out:
After this delightful and enervating overview, Grant moves on to different social causes of fraud: ideological scientists who fooled themselves (for example, the discoverers of "menstrual rays" and other improbable phenomena)
Huh? Menstrual rays? WTF? Google was of no help - two of the three matches were to reviews of this book....
Maybe "menstrual rays" were conjectured to cause womens' periods to sync?

Barack and Michelle Obama have one car, a Ford Escape hybrid.
Ha! First reaction is amusement at the "of course it's a hybrid!" and the one car, one house, how much more normal can you get? Second reaction is how do you manage those two lives with one car?

I thought that was the super power that brought down the 50-foot woman.

I believe the Ford Escape is the mandatory candidate car, American and a Hybrid! I think he had a Chrysler 300 before running.

Go Emmy winning Ed Danvers! He was good in the half of Damages I managed to watch, but I've always thought he was good...I don't know what, like, pushed him over. Yeah, I agree. That hybrid sees a lot of action.
