@neiltyson Sounds like Catholicism and some other religions originating in the Middle East.

@capitalkiwi That depends on whether the perpetrator was another duck or not.

@OIGUSPS That link takes me to a search page that just gets me a phone number. An email would be better for all I think.

@OIGUSPS delays are getting bad. Ordered on Amazon, item received by USPS Aug 1. It didn’t depart the receiving location until Aug 5. It is now Aug 9 and it still shows as in transit from Indianapolis. That’s an 11hr drive from here. Why is it taking days? Are they walking????

@batkaren Maybe he got a younger brother and his parents were particularly bad at coming up with new names? I think he predates the invention of “junior”.

@Jnfr_moleski just saw your latest YouTube video. I hope you don’t have cancer. Your lymph node has accomplished its aim without that. Your “rant” did remind me of this quote: “Death tugs at my ear and says, 'Live. I am coming.’” Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.

@AlfonsoSpencer9 Ah. Didn’t realize that you had edited it, or that you were talking about 10,000 years ahead, rather than behind.

@SummerSometimes @RachelBock9 Have you joined the American Non-Sequitur Sosiety? I like their motto: “We don’t make sense, but we do like pizza”.

@AlfonsoSpencer9 10,000 years though? I had no idea that hourglasses were that old.

@AlfonsoSpencer9 There is an illness that isn’t a problem when you are young. Go go on. If you meet it later in life you get very sick and die.

@SummerSometimes @RachelBock9 At least for subjects that aren’t fact-based. I wouldn’t want my math teacher to argue about whether 2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2.

@AlfonsoSpencer9 Very true. I like the version where the optimist says it’s half full, the pessimist says it’s half empty, and the engineer says that it’s twice as big as it needs to be.

@SummerSometimes So is wearing clothes. That’s why Adam & Eve got tossed out of Eden. Ashamed of how they were made...must have been pretty offensive.

@SummerSometimes C and E both look good. C is probably less trouble to deal with, though E might give more options.

@U_Monkey_U @SydneyLWatson The war settled who won. It did not settle who was right. The states and/or people have all rights & powers not explicitly given up to the federal government in the Constitution. Says so in the 9th & 10th Amendments. The federal government has only those given it. Same source.

@U_Monkey_U @SydneyLWatson Nor does it need to appear. The Constitution is not an enumeration of the rights of the people or the states. It is an enumeration of the powers granted to the federal government and those ceded by the states and people. That is what the 9th and 10th Amendments are all about.
