I'm surprised it takes them 10 minutes.
(I have to confess that I'm one of those people who would stop to solve it.)
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Rubik's cubes are easy. Take a flat bladed screwdriver to pry it apart, then reassemble it solved. Hey, it's how Captain Kirk would have done it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I once knew the secret to solving a Rubik's cube, but I can no longer remember what it is. Lame brain.

I always went the screwdriver route. I have no patience for non-practical-application puzzles. Which is really funny because one of the things I love about my job is troubleshooting. It's just a puzzle!

Less sex, more TV aired in India:
On World Population Day this year India's new health and welfare minister came out with an idea on how to tackle the population issue: Bring electricity to every Indian village so that people would watch television until late at night and therefore be too tired to make babies.
Of course, the best bit is at the end:
One such survey done in 2006 by an Italian sexologist reveals couples with televisions in their bedrooms had sex half as much as those without it.
That being said Omar Mohammed, the man with 24 children had a different take.
"After watching TV," he says, "when we look at scintillating things we will probably want to make more children."
P.S. Sara Sidner, have a couple commas, free of charge. ,,

I have just caught up on the last couple of days of Natter, and see I have missed a discussion of the insanity that is health care in this country. Interesting because I am discussing it right now on Facebook with a few people, aqnd I find that, because of what I went through with S, I can barely speak rationally on the subject.
Anybody who is against health care reform in this country needs to report to me so I can stab them with a rusty pen.

Sean, I can only imagine. I was reading the op ed by the libertarian asshat who owns Whole Foods and spitting nails.
