When running on land, hippos have all four feet off the ground through 15% of each stride.

I learned this from an article with a very misleading head line: ‘Running Hippos Become Airborne’ (I was excited at the prospect of flying hippos).

Considered the first science fiction novel, Margaret Cavendish's The Blazing World was written in 1666 A.D.

That makes sense. Serves me right for reading Wired.

"Brian" and James" each has five letters!

Holy shit!  This is just like the Kennedy/Lincoln thing!
Disappointing theists since 1968!

Our insufferable neighbor who sets of a barrage of fireworks on July 3, 4, and 5 this year, poisons wildlife like foxes and coyotes and deer, runs a log splitter after 9 pm every sunday, and is a top shelf jerk, now owns a cybertruck. One neighbor shouted: "Enough with the fireworks, Tesla fanboy!" and that made me smile.

The guy bought the stainless version of the cybermusk. Can't wait til it rusts.

During the filming of A Perfect World (1993), Kevin Costner, actor and prima donna, walked off the set in a huff. Director and co-star Clint Eastwood filmed Costner’s next scene with his double. When Costner returned to the set, he demanded that Eastwood re-shoot the scene. Eastwood not only refused, but told Costner, ‘You walk off again, I’ll shoot this whole movie with your double. I’m not here to jerk off.’ Costner didn’t leave the set again.

You don’t fuck with the man from Malpaso.
