    Somebody where I work has not shown up for his shift in two days.
    I am working my third twelve hour shift in as many days.
    There is no word from the office about getting a new person in to train.
    I don't even know if the office is actually going to fire this person.  He talked his way back to work after multiple days of no-call/no-show before.

    The idea of attacking Pearl Harbor and get US into war might've been similarly stupid

    This was the successful Japanese strategy for war with Russia earlier in the 20th Century.
    You make an overwhelming attack on the enemy fleet and then sue for peace on your terms.

    I am thinking back to 1998 when CBS was covering the Nagano Games.

    They had so little regard for Curling that Dorothy Letterman, David Letterman's mother, was sometimes the only person in CBS Sports gear at the Curling post match press conferences.

    Awareness and interest for this auld Scottish game has grown so much in the US over the last two decades.

    We had some of the most delectable Being-Eaten-By-A-Crocodile competitors of all time in Egypt.
    But the Powers-That-Be at Olympia would not sanction that event in the Ancient Games.

    Crocodiles are conservative creatures and not best pleased with sudden and unexplained changes in their diet and feeding times.

    Crocodile time is pretty much "Sleep" or "Eat".  And if you interrupt the former, they are quite content to use you for the latter.

    There are people complaining about Mixed Doubles Curling.
    Not necessarily because men and women are playing together.
    Some are concerned that the speed of play is faster and the Skip position is not the team commander as with four person teams.

    These complaints to me seem reminiscent of the 1990s complaints about Beach Volleyball.
    Many (not most, but a loud minority) long time players, coaches, supporters, and fans of traditional Volleyball did not like the new game.
    But it proved more entertaining for many casual sports fans and the traditional game did begin to change.

    Is there room for innovation in Baseball, Golf, or Being-Eaten-By-A- Crocodile?

    NSFW?  It's Monty Python.  An effective tool for offending the easily offended.
    If you, or someone near you, is such a person do everyone a favor.   Please don't click.

    That map illustrates Prussian history in the early 1600s.

    "Prussian Blue", Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3 · xH2O, wasn't developed until 1706.

    It would have been anachronistic to apply Prussia's signature colour to maps representing Prussia in the early seventeenth century.

    And as George Jetson cautioned the Continental Congress at the end of the Boxer Rebellion, "Fact check your blogs before posting lest users ignore the attached cat videos."

    Am I the only one who think Ashley's genie outfit makes her look a little like Caulifla from Dragon Ball Super? It was somehow the first thing that came to mind when I saw her like that. :P

    The first thing I thought of was Babu, the bumbling apprentice, from the 1970s animated series "Jeannie".
