Fabulous description of how kludgy our vision is.

I remember trying to ask my mom, when I was but a wee lad, why the second hand on the clock would freeze for a moment when I would glance at the clock. Or why the ceiling fan blades would stop if I looked up at them quickly.
She would âtut, tutâ me and say I was imagining things.

I wonder what this really means. Did he insult Ivankaâs looks? Tell turnip his hands are not large? Is it because Laura Ingraham turned on him? Or is there some other scandal weâre not supposed to notice happening today, and it was his turn to be the patsy?

Pruitt also wanted to get commemorative coins issued for the department that would be exceptionally large and feature items symbolizing himself, such as a bible verse. The proposed coin didnât include the agencyâs logo because Pruitt thought it looked look a cannabis leaf, according to the New York Times. (The coins were never made.)
Okay, I donât have a lot of experience with pot, but Iâm pretty sure that it doesnât look like this:

Indeed, ridiculous, but I didnât figure that would put him on the outs with his boss, who does the same stupid bullshit.

From Vaderâs point of view it was a monument to technological hubris, ânothing compared to the power of the force.â

This may not be news to those more familiar with genetics, but I found some fascinating bits.
In pregnant women, fetal stem cells can cross the placenta to enter the motherâs bloodstream, where they may persist for years. If Mom gets pregnant again, the stem cells of her firstborn, still circulating in her blood, can cross the placenta in the other direction, commingling with those of the younger sibling. Heredity can thus flow âupstream,â from child to parentâand then over and down to future siblings.
Every one of us carries a unique flora of hundreds if not thousands of microbes, each with its own genome, without which we cannot feel healthyâcannot be âus.â These too can be passed down from parent to childâbut may also move from child to adult, child to child, stranger to stranger. Always a willing volunteer, Zimmer allowed a researcher to sample the microbes living in his belly-button lint. Zimmerâs ânavelomeâ included 53 species of bacteria. One microbe had been known, until then, only from the Mariana Trench.

Whatever our disagreements about the liberation itself, I would ask that we remain united on the fact that Cloud City has much better promise for the future today than it ever did under the heel of Lando Calrissian. I would also ask that we remain united in the larger task of fighting interplanetary terrorism, in which the liberation of Cloud City was but one small battle.
It has been three long years since terrorists destroyed one of the true architectural marvels of the galaxy, the Jar Jar Binks Memorial Space Station, viciously referred to by our enemies as the âDeath Star.â In fact, many of you here today openly opposed my decision to enhance the stationâs security by arming it with a giant cathode ray cannon, but now with thousands dead and the remnants of that station smoldering in space, it is easy to see that our security concerns were indeed warranted.
