West Norway checking in. Not sure how it is in Mass, but we went to the local sports bar to eat and watch hockey tonight and all 20 TVs were set to the boys state hockey tournament with a wait to get in to eat. That's a fun time.

High School Hockey is WAY WAY WAY more fun in Minnesota, there is no doubt at all. And overall better than Mass. maybe probably possibly. But we have some players. Just giving you a noogie basically.

They have no pigs and grow no corn in Saudi Arabia, that's why.

So perfect. I'm reading along, quite contentedly thinking about High School hockey, and here comes Jaws.

A plurality from Massachusetts playing men's hockey for team USA is an impressive stat

OTOH, one Bay Stater even won a gold medal playing alongside eight from Minnesota

haha +1 for MN for sure

**SkiCougar** · 03-10-2018, 02:58 PM

seem to be on a pig tangent but interesting stat I have noticed is anytime the 10 year gets above 2.95; the mkt sells off.

Virginia is the first No. 1 seed to fall to a No. 16 seed in the modern era N.C.A.A. tournament.

5/4 dentists would agree!

Last I heard, the system we have in place (not just the subsidies) now pretty much just enables debt slavery to big banks and Monsanto, but at least they can sometimes get the winter off.

I'm 90% sure that 100% of the time I'm half wrong only 50% of the time

Pigs when slow cooked over a 275 degree fire for a few hours are delicious.

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

Apoptosis. The death of cells that occurs as a normal and controlled part of an organism's growth or development.

The average human adult has more than 13 trillion cells, of which between 50 and 70 billion die each day due to apoptosis. At 70 billion cell deaths, that's roughly 5 out of every 1,000 cells or 0.5% every day.
