Wrestling is personal enough with your clothes on. There are many holds that would generate much earlier tap outs if naked.

ION, I think Google Maps is trying to fuck with me: [link]

That first step is a doozy.

Google Maps must have assumed you were Batman....

Yeah, I should probably uncheck that in my profile.

Why don't I have that option in my profile?

Recently there was a conference on multiple universes, or multiverses....

Many scientists look down on philosophy as mere question-posing and guesswork. But philosophy seems impossible to avoid when discussing certain problems in physics, especially those dealing with fundamental aspects of reality, such as cosmology and particle physics. In his entertaining talk, Davies referred to the old Hindu story of the Earth resting on the backs of four elephants, which in turn stand on a giant turtle. One is then faced with the question of what the turtle stands on. Perhaps there is some kind of ultimate explanation down below, a Prime Cause – some kind of “super-turtle” that brings the chain of explanation to an end.

For many physicists, Davies said, the laws of physics themselves have served as such an explanation. But this view becomes problematic if the laws themselves change over time, or vary from region to region. Alternatively, there may simply be no ultimate explanation, he suggested, in which case one must accept an infinite regression of causes — "turtles all the way down.”

I dunno - I've held the "turtles all the way down" view for so long, the "super-turtle" theory just blows my little mind....

Couldn't there be some [beat] awkward [beat] consequences in wrestling. Or maybe this is a non-computer case of "that's not a bug, its a feature".

Some of the entertainment I've bought considers it not just a feature, but the main selling point.

Shir, so glad you are OK.

Glad you're OK, Shir.

Rick Sanchez just quoted my tweet on the air on CNN. Nothing stranger than hearing "Cashmere says" on teevee.

That's awesome, and I don't even know who Rick Sanchez is!

Imagine the road rash potential!

I thought it was stupid enough on (I can't believe I'm admitting to watching this) I Love Money when they were horseback riding in bathing suits....

So, I went to a panel thing this afternoon, and afterward was already hungry for dinner, and realized I was right by the Shake Shack, which I hadn't been to all summer! So I went over there and there was NO line. Sweet! By the time I was leaving at 6:30, there was a medium line, so I must have just beat the rush. Sweet. Now I can make that chili.

Anybody have a link to Christina Hendricks at the Emmys? My Google-fu is weak today.
