      - Hahahaha! :-) - Krusty Apr 25, 09:11
- I can deal with him being out for the season but being forced to retire. -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 09:01 21
  - He deserves his Chipper Jones retirement tour. I doubt he's done. -- nm - David Apr 25, 09:06 14
    - agreed. - Mel Profit Apr 25, 09:07 11
      - The home plate play against the Mariners in the playoffs is still the greatest I've ever seen. -- nm - David Apr 25, 09:09 6

        Was it? They were down 2-0 in a 5 game series, right? -- nm - David Apr 25, 09:12 3
        
        Yup. -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 09:13
        
        Yeah, pretty sure it was Jeremy Giambi who didn't slide and got victimized. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 25, 09:12 1
        
        Yup. -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 09:13
      - Little known fact: He ended up having sex with the woman he bumped into diving into the stands - Will Hunting Apr 25, 09:09 2
        
        because I like Krusty and your wife *pausing for Effect* I won't say anything... -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 25, 09:10

Not unexpected, but sad. Body of missing Brown University student Sunil Tripathi pulled from river. -- (link) - ty97 Apr 25, 08:57 1
- sad. -- nm - Andie Apr 25, 08:58
Groiny -- were you mocking my reason for offering that trade? - Will Hunting Apr 25, 08:56 4
- my hope is they put him on the DL, he misses a couple weeks and comes back good to go. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 25, 08:58 2
  - Yeah, that's kinda what I assumed would happen, but I didn't want to risk him being macho and being gimped all year. - Will Hunting Apr 25, 09:00 1
    - I did have to double take, to make sure I did not miss something. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 25, 09:01
- no, I knew exactly why you offered that deal. - groiny Apr 25, 08:58

    - huh. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 25, 09:09
  - the t-shirts were RIGHT! -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 25, 09:07

    - Liberace was gay!? -- nm - Austin Powers Apr 25, 09:03
    - heh -- nm - Don Homer Apr 25, 09:02

- Royal wedding! -- nm - David Apr 25, 08:58
- Highly doubt it. He was just in NC getting treatment. It's his first time back in NY since the news dropped that he would be out so long. - Krusty Apr 25, 08:57 9
  - There you go. This makes sense. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 25, 08:57 8
    - But a press conference? -- nm - Spawn Apr 25, 08:58 7
      - [deleted] 2
        
        That wasn't his point. The point is that most people wouldn't call a presser to say "Yeah, my leg hurts." - Jim Apr 25, 09:04 1
        
        [deleted]
      - Sure. It's NYC and Jeter. Hell, ESPN will likely go live. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 25, 09:00
      - *shrug* I can't see him retiring unless he was told he'll never be able to run again. -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 08:59
      - Word. Only Brett Favre calls pressers to announce nothing has changed. -- nm - Jim Apr 25, 08:58 1
        
        And today's big news is... I'm having tuna fish for lunch!! I have time for three questions. -- nm - Brett Favre si Apr 25, 09:00
- Yeah, he's done. That'd be my guess. -- nm - Jim Apr 25, 08:57

Someone just linked me to this fantastic, if slightly gross, story -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 25, 08:42 13

  - Movies or Misc? -- nm - Don Homer Apr 25, 08:53 1
    - I think it was on FFtoday.com when I was over there -- nm - amoxy Apr 25, 08:58

If I wanted to join Ikariam where STers play, where should I log in? - con_carne Apr 25, 08:41 16
- I'd bet Mel/Spawn could get an established account for you if you would rather. But either Delta.com or .org would work -- nm - Beaker Apr 25, 08:41 12
  - On second thought, I think I'd be more likely to stick with it if I started from scratch... -- nm - con_carne Apr 25, 08:49 10
    - .org tends to be more laid back. .com is exciting and we merged another alliance in a while back. -- nm - Spawn Apr 25, 08:52 8
      - I went to dot com, since that's where I was before - con_carne Apr 25, 08:54 6

        be sure to base your cities on WONDERS and nothing else. Your sulfur cities should all have forges; every other one should be Colossus or Dolphin -- nm - Beaker Apr 25, 09:09 1
        
        Hmm. Dolphin sulfur. That might not be good to keep. -- nm - Spawn Apr 25, 09:17
        
        The cluster to the left has some alliance members. And far to the bottom right. - Spawn Apr 25, 09:08 1
        
        Cool -- nm - con_carne Apr 25, 09:11
      - Thanks to you both -- nm - con_carne Apr 25, 08:53
    - good call. this has been my experience. we are SLACK on .org and AUIMP on .com -- nm - Beaker Apr 25, 08:50
  - Sure, I'd give that a shot -- nm - con_carne Apr 25, 08:45

- And still she can't spell "thief". -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Apr 25, 08:39
Teaching that as science, IMO, is child abuse. -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 08:33 44
- Watching that series of Nova episodes about Australia, it stuns me that people would still not accept the scientific explanation of the universe. -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Apr 25, 08:47 2
  - where you there? -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 08:49 1
    - No, he was watching tv. -- nm - Spawn Apr 25, 08:53

    - yeah, given that the kid's learning latin in grade 4, I'm betting a religious school. -- nm - mafic Apr 25, 08:38 2
      - yeah, I don't get that part. What religion would teach both creationism and latin? -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 08:39 1

        Were you smart ass? -- nm - Obvious Comeback Apr 25, 09:00
      - snopes says probably true. I think it's plausible. -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 08:38
    - ahh, different school thing :) -- nm - Beaker Apr 25, 08:35

      - there's a difference between a class teaching stretching and one teaching stretching as part of a prayer-type activity with a basis in any religion -- nm - zork Apr 25, 08:44
      - yoga doesn't really have to be grounded in Hindu teaching. once you throw that into the mix, it becomes a religion class. -- nm - mafic Apr 25, 08:42 9
        
        this; the clarification after the initial post was a game changer. - Beaker Apr 25, 08:45

        if the teacher presents the religious parts of it to the class then it should not be allowed. If taught as a secular activity then it should be ok. -- nm - zork Apr 25, 09:02
        
        [deleted]
        
        How many people that take yoga in random classes in gyms have any idea it is religious based? - spamlet Apr 25, 08:45 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Apr 25, 08:43
      - This probably goes against my tree-hugging wacko ways...but I think people take the separation of church and state thing too far. - Jim Apr 25, 08:38 7

        Using the activity to achieve mind-expanding states in conjunction with Hindu ceremonies makes it a religious thing -- nm - zork Apr 25, 09:06
        
        incorporating a hindu ceremony seems a bit more than just "happening to have the origin of the exercise in it" to me. - znufrii Apr 25, 08:58
