No we don't. His mother was white. This is the biggest lie that continues to perpetuate in our culture. Obama is not black. Mfer is a mulatto.

Think ratios:

The ratio of the extra inch in Diameter to the original Diameter (miniscule) is equal to the ratio of the extra 6.28 inches to the original circumference (also miniscule).

The ratio of one inch to the Earth's radius is the same as the ratio of 6.28 inches to the earth's circumference.

What a waste of money. I wish someone would do some documentary work and see how much it cost to build and operate them vs how much actual use they get.

I'd much rather people getting smarter in libraries than getting fatter in McDonalds.

Just saying...

Libraries are a great resource for poor people to search and apply for jobs online.

Regardless of political affiliation, its absolutely embarrassing and equally terrifying that the leading candidates for President of the United States are Hilary Rodham Clinton and Donald Trump.


What.

FWIW, I started putting a burlap sheet over my windshield when I know a good ice/snow storm is coming.

Pull it off when you're ready to go, shake it off, and throw it in the trunk.

Man, if I had read this a couple months ago, I would have been like "whatever" and kept scrolling...

When I first heard this, someone said it was 30 people that would make it about even odds. I said no-way! and resorted to my probability equations to disprove it.

When I came up with 23 I was doubly astonished, but first figured I had made a mistake since it was so far from 30, so I went back and did it all over again with a different approach.

I still find it hard to believe - just doesn't seem right.
