Quickly now, please: is a Ford Focus about the same size on the interior as a Honda Civic? -- nm - prayformojo Aug 28, 10:43 6
- Here are the charts for both cars. Depends on the models. Get out your calculator. - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 28, 10:53 1
  - You're probably looking at passenger volume. 94.6 cu. ft. (or 92.1) for the Civic. 90.7 for Focus. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 28, 10:55
- I would guess the civic to be *just* roomier, but it could be configuration. (our fleet services has both; I drive them pretty often.) -- nm - amanda hk Aug 28, 10:47 1
  - Thank you -- nm - prayformojo Aug 28, 11:00

  - gah! by the way, who snopes Snopes? -- nm - CrankYanker Aug 28, 10:45 2
    - The Tea Party, of course. Did you know that Snopes is a left-wing tool funded by George Soros? -- (link) - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 28, 10:50 1
      - which, itself, garners a response from snopes.com -- (link) - znufrii Aug 28, 11:01
- Huh. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 28, 10:33
- huh, I've never noticed a color at the bottom of ours (Tom's of Maine wholecare peppermint). -- nm - Don Homer Aug 28, 10:31 1
  - (but I intend to look tonight) -- nm - Don Homer Aug 28, 10:31
- On a complete tangent, Crest replaced the flip tops they used on my favorite toothpaste with the old twist off kind. This has been quite annoying. - Ender Aug 28, 10:29 1
  - I do the same thing. :-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 28, 10:32

So Scott Boras wants 12 years, 360 million for Bryce Harper? - amoxy Aug 28, 10:21 15

  - or just 'Hahahahahahahahahaha' -- nm - decline Aug 28, 10:27
  - Or Pujols or Josh Hamilton -- nm - amoxy Aug 28, 10:23 8
    - One huge difference between all 3 of those guys....he's 20...their albatrosses were signed at 30+ -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 28, 10:28 7
      - Which means they don't have to worry about his contract for 3 more years. -- nm - David Aug 28, 10:50 2
        
        At that point though, if he's turns into the superstar....you're going to be up against everyone else, and likely paying past 32yrs old. - Will Hunting Aug 28, 10:55 1
        
        "If"? I am not paying that amount of money for somebody who might be a superstar -- nm - amoxy Aug 28, 11:00
      - I would like to see him have a monster season before he would be considered for a large contract - amoxy Aug 28, 10:31 3
        
        For guys who are 19/20 years old...he's having an historically great start to his career. - Will Hunting Aug 28, 10:32 2

lir znu - I don't know Paypay options at all....can you have an account without a bank account attached to it? How do you receive/send money?... - CrankYanker Aug 28, 10:14 2

- WTG, Missouri! -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 28, 10:11
- It's not going to get overridden. The Speaker has basically admitted as much. -- nm - spamlet Aug 28, 10:00 4
  - Oops, I was wrong. It will come up for a vote. It was a different dumb idea that they're not going to bring up. -- nm - spamlet Aug 28, 10:13 3
    - which dumb idea was that other one? -- nm - znufrii Aug 28, 10:14 2

What makes it so bizarre is that they didn't have to do the 2DS. They have frickin' Pokemon X/Y coming out in October. It'll sell systems like crazy - Qale Aug 28, 09:33 3
