If the local color from first season of Grimm is anything to go by, Portland is an awesome place to live...

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
reading this article about how few people use math in their work lives
and this quote from a commenter:
I have also worked for many bosses that took advantage of thier employee's lack of math skills. They would literally say to us "You guys worked 8 hours today[at $6 an hour] That's $36 dollars that i owe each of you " . I would politely correct the boss.But soon was not used by many of the local construction bosses because i knew simple addition and knew that they were robbing their employees
Unbelievable.

I was looking for an update about the West TX explosion and happened on a Web site that claimed a METEORITE is the cause of the damage to the factory, not the (over-abundance) of fertilizer stored there.
Man. I would like to unsee that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Do ya ever get the feeling that the stupid is winning?

Based on Grimm, Portland's police are deeply stupid, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jeez, I just had this phone interview and it was more than 30 minutes! With the ED! I think this place may be kind of a mess. Or at least they are tiny and have no systems or whatever.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
"Sweetie, it's 4 in the morning. Stop, drop, roll, and go back to bed!"

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
billytea! last night I watched a PBS show about dinosaurs in Australia. They're finding fossil evidence, and since it's Australia, some of the fossils are opalized.
How much do you think an opalized echnidna skull would go for? (one gem - and I use the word advisedly - was the opalized fossil jaw of an ancestor of the platypus).

I am on a hotel website trying to discern the difference between a deluxe double queen, premier double queen, and deluxe studio double queen. They have a 'compare' button, I use it.
One of the differences is that premier seems to have a toilet and the other two don't. I fear that the Web site compare system is broken.

Maybe it means the premier has a toilet in the bedroom, whereas the other two have theirs in the bathroom??
