I am deeply concerned about the last two minutes of this game.
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I'd commiserate, Dana, but I think I'm too tense.

Oh, dear god, it's coming down to a field goal.

Is...is that our first playoff win on the road ever?

I believe it is, if you don't count the Super Bowl.

Heh. I'll have to think about whether that counts.

First playoff win on the road ever. Superbowl does not count.
(IMO)

I could make an argument either way.
I have over two weeks worth of meals made. I think it's time to stop cooking. And yet, those darn butternut squashes are taunting me.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Hmm, mixing coconut oil and grapeseed oil for lotion? Sounds lovely. I cook with that combo all the time.
bonny, where did you find the toothpaste recipe, if I may ask?
My stretch teacher uses coconut oil as a sunblock.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Something I've been wondering, there were people (including me) that signed up to a Coursera course on dinosaurs (Dino 101, run from the University of Alberta). It's now finished, with a new offering beginning on Monday. I was wondering, of the other people who were interested: did you wind up completing the course? What did you think of it? Have you signed up for any other online courses, through Coursera or EdX or such like?
For myself, I completed it, enjoyed it a great deal. It wasn't too demanding for time and was a lot of fun. I was pretty impressed with the level too, though it was obviously a 101 course. I've since signed up to a course on Chinese history from Harvard, on EdX: [link] The whole thing is slated to take over a year, covering the full sweep of Chinese history from Neolithic times to modern China. It's split into nine separate modules, though. The second one, titled "The Creation and End of a Centralized Empire", is starting now and runs for five weeks: [link]
I also signed up to Harvard's Introduction to Computer Science, this one for more work-related reasons: [link] It's given as a 12-week course, though participants have until the end of the year to finish everything. Just as well, because this one looks to be more demanding on a week-by-week basis, though of course you can just audit it. (I also signed up to a course called Paradigms of Computer Programming, but I think I'll have to drop that one because it's just getting ridiculous. Or maybe I'll just audit it.)
