Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
When did Neanderthals go extinct? 40-50 thousand years ago? I wonder if there are any cave painting of them. Probably none that have been found so far....
Fossils say about 30,000 years ago, though some interpret evidence of fires at Gibraltar 24,000 years ago to indicate Neanderthal habitation. I haven't heard of any cave paintings of or by them, but other forms of their art may have been discovered: [link]
Beefcakiest pulp science fiction book covers of all time?
Interestingly, the URL says "the-gayest-science-fiction-book-covers-of-all-time/gallery/" Glad someone caught that, but sad that it happened in the first place.
I'm trying to work out from the comments when they changed the title of the article from gay to beefcakey, since the comments are a lot of "gay? rly?"
Two of the five covers don't actually feature guys that could in any way be interpreted as "beefcakey." (Or gay either, so I'm wondering if they just flung random paperback covers up there. Dudes, if you want a cover that shouts gay, try Farmer's A Feast Unknown.)
The last one barely features people. It's kinda weird.
Oops. Meant this for tech.
A date of note--it's been a year since a Chicago alderman has been indicted!!
Yep, it's 365 days and counting since a Chicago alderman was indicted (Isaac Carothers on May 28, 2009). I think our city council deserves a round of applause.
The modern era record for an indictment-free city council is 17 months, 13 days during 1956-57. That excludes, of course, those dark days of World War II when so many eager beaver prosecutors were off fighting the Nazis. I have confidence in these men & women. I really believe they can break that old record and would advise setting 20 months, 11 days as the over/under line.
OMG, y'all. This week is going to go by soooooo sloooowwwwlllyyyy. I don't have students (they graduated last week), but I still have to come every day this week and a half day on Monday. My room only needs so much cleaning. I'm already getting bored.
It's very hard to get the brain going today.
I'm already getting bored.
Can you maybe find some aldermen who need to be indicted?
