I'm not up on the Canadian political landscape, but they're not stupid enough to Americanize themselves, right?

Oh, please - it’s fucking hysterical. It might be the funniest thing since Jesus told Joseph, ‘I don’t have to listen to you! You’re not my REAL dad!!’

Quote:The paradox supposes there is an infinite sequence of Reapers, each assigned a time to kill a particular person. Each Reaper will only kill this person if no earlier Reaper has already killed them.

It is 12pm, the first Reaper is set to kill the person at 1pm. The second Reaper is set to kill them at 12:30pm, the third at 12:15pm, and so on.

As a consequence of these propositions, the person will certainly be killed by a Reaper before 1pm, however, no individual Reaper can kill them, as there is always an earlier Reaper who would do so first. Therefore, it is impossible that the person survive, but also impossible that any Reaper kills them.

I've noticed that there are articles on Wikipedia about ordinary Chinese citizens.
Take Wang Zhengguo. If you read his article, you will learn that he was a medical engineer who worked at the Military Medical University and he won a few awards in his field (as anyone does when they work long enough). That is all. He was not a public figure, he did not write any books, and there is no mention of him inventing or working on anything noteworthy; perhaps he taught on Military Medical University if he worked there. In any case, he appeared to be a very private, unremarkable person. Why would he need an entry in a world encyclopedia is puzzling. Perhaps it is a product of the communist mentality, in which they sometimes pretend that ordinary people are very important and even put their faces on money.

It's the first time I've seen Mafia played on telly, at a party on the show, and it looks better IRL than online.

My guess is that it's an obituary, certainly reads like one.

They say that revenge is a dish best served cold. But they also say that revenge is sweet.

So, revenge is basically…ice cream.

No Trousers Tube Ride brings carnival of underwear to London Underground

Lots of people are selling their condos here. The guy next to us said he's leaving because they're significantly raising the HOA fee this year. Still, it will be cheaper than renting.

I would live in a refrigerator carton under a bridge before I’d subject myself to an HOA (we call them Resident’s Associations).

Tell ME what colour I can’t paint MY house? Fuck that.
