Edit: Maybe it was sleep deprivation.

Forget the cat scan. Dog scans are more accurate.
Cool part is they are German Shepard's is there anything they can't do? :D

No wonder they sniff peoples butts, rectal exam. :p

I propose we put that in the Health Care Act, as a matter of choice. :rolleyes:

Edit: Plus since there's 2 dogs you get a second opinion with no extra charge.

Dog 1 : Hey Frank, can you double check this one I have a head cold today.

You would never know because they had to pass it to read it. I know I haven't expended the hours to read it, have you?
Damn hell no, especially when you include the Laws in it, I can only imagine. It might be a challenge for several Laws firms to untangle the mess. I expect it will go into the sh*tter and then the Dems get what they want, which is full on Gov sponsored Health Care. Wouldn't that make everyone happy.

An investigation finds that dozens of academic titles offered 'Dr Fraud' — a sham, unqualified scientist — a place on their editorial board. Katarzyna Pisanski and colleagues report.

So, in 2015, we created a profile of a fictitious scientist named Anna O. Szust and applied on her behalf to the editorial boards of 360 journals. Oszust is the Polish word for 'a fraud'. We gave her fake scientific degrees and credited her with spoof book chapters. Her academic interests included, among others, the theory of science and sport, cognitive sciences and methodological bases of social sciences. We also created accounts for Szust on Academia.edu, Google+ and Twitter, and made a faculty webpage at the Institute of Philosophy at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. The page could be accessed only through a link we provided on her CV.
...
It is difficult to predict the future editorial career of Anna O. Szust. Although journals that accepted our fraud were informed that Szust “kindly withdraws her application”, her name still appears on the editorial boards listed by at least 11 journals' websites. In fact, she is listed as an editor of at least one journal to which we did not apply. She is also listed as management staff, a member of conference organizing committees, and ironically, a member of the Advisory Board of the Journals Open Access Indexing Agency whose mission it is to “increase the visibility and ease of use of open access scientific and scholarly journals”.

How would you like to have the apartment just under the track? Bet it goes cheap. :)
Another funny story. I was riding to work with my friend Matsui. I noticed a cute little white house with a blue roof beside the tracks. I ask him how much for a house like that? His reply was oh, very expensive maybe 1,000,000 US, because it is close to transportation.

Who would've thought that the humble pie (no pun intended) was such a strong linguistic influence?


It’s not just the squirrel pie: several hundred years ago, there were many types of pies already a beloved part of British cuisine. Records from the 11th Century show East Anglia paying levies to the Crown with herring pies – a practice that continued for 800 years – with towns required to send an annual tribute of “100 herrings baked in 24 pasties”.
