I would assume because the lack of corners reduces the formation of cracks at the edges of the hole in the pavement.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I've also heard that they don't fall in on themselves.
Yeah, that was the answer I couldn't remember.
I don't even remember what that interview was for now.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
But I'd guess that the question is designed to show how you think more than whether or not you know the right answer.
The one I heard in an NPR story about -- I think -- interviewing at Google was "What would you charge to wash all the windows in downtown LA (or other big city)?"
Their example of a "good" answer was something like "Ten bucks a window," instead of trying to think of a ginormous amount for all the windows, inclusive.
I would never have thought of that.

I forced myself to go to the gym. Now I'm tired and ravenously hungry, and yet curiously I'm not in the kitchen making dinner.
I could heat up vegetable barley soup. I could cook some pasta and top it with already prepared bolognese sauce. I could make caprese salad with heirloom tomatoes. Or a salad. Or roast some brussels sprouts.

She would be so good on that blog! My grandmother has excellent style, still.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I would never have thought of that.
I can't claim to be Google bright (uh, I interviewed, it didn't work out, but it's obvious I wasn't applying for the job I thought I was), but that's totally the only answer that occurred to me. I was wondering about a bulk discount, but the big ish is...how would I know what's competitive for a single window? It would also take me forever to decide how many basketballs could fit in a given room, because...WTF? I touched a basketball once. I'm not sure how big they are.

Would "I'm afraid of heights and I would never wash skyscraper windows" be a bad answer? Because that would probably be all I could think of. Lordy.
Jesses grandma seems awesome, and I love the little old lady style blog! I wanna be that fierce at that age!

I had a muffeletta for dinner tonight and I thought the Buffistas should know.
Then I had a thick slice of fruitcake and some eggnog with spiced rum.
