It could have been 6 days per week until an object collided with Earth.

Then made it roughly 7 days.

So a year used to be 360 days but now 365 days.


It's too much of a coincidence.


If I'm correct, it should adjust back to 360 days.

Whatever the answer is, it should be equivalent to the sub-atomic cycles and rhyme with other vibrations, like us.

Every red and blue member of Congress needs to be gutted.

Elect an entire new group.

According to Buffy, if the deficit is over 3% of GDP, make all of Congress ineligible to be reelected.


I'd go one step further and say if the debt increases, fire all of them.

They're on the take and won't listen.

Likely too many people think “more is better” or because it’s over the counter, that it’s safe to take too much. Or their body is already metabolically damaged. Guessing though.

I take Tylenol PM like candy. Hopefully my liver will survive.

I think liver disease is one of those where it can nearly be gone completely before you start noticing. Don’t quote me though.

Epitaph on tombstone: "Liver disease is one of those where it can nearly be gone completely before you start noticing."

Moral of the story: have a comprehensive annual checkup to find out early, before it's too late.

Maybe some disgruntled Bosnians are rekindling hostilities against the Serbs.

watched a tv program on what is known about the dinosaur history of birds

more and more you hear from the scientists that it is simply correct to regard birds as dinosaurs of today. The show ended with one guy observing all the species of birds, their sheer numbers even, and saying "it's still the age of dinosaurs"

back when I was in school, if a scientist said 'actually the dinosaurs survived, are not extinct' he would have been hooted out of the room
