Huh, cool. Schwab is adding Voice Authentication to accounts - decline May 3, 06:52
Fun with Odds: Buster Douglas beating Mike Tyons (42:1) was 100 times more likely than Leicester City winning Premier League (5000:1) -- nm - Strongbad May 3, 06:51 4

- They're one of the longest shots in modern sports history, if not the longest. -- nm - ML May 3, 06:58
- I'd like to see a breakdown of preseason rankings by experts and pundits. I wonder if anyone had them even not getting relegated. 15th, maybe? -- nm* - volnelk May 3, 06:54
Donald Trump approves -- (link) - oblique May 3, 06:43
Yeah - so Raw last night was the worst night I've ever spent behind the concession stand. Just horrible... - Jim May 3, 06:26 10
- Also...why was everyone wearing a light up unicorn horn? -- nm - Jim May 3, 07:00 4
  - Because New Day put that into their act and they are very popular. -- nm - Will Hunting May 3, 07:02 2
    - Ahhh...Ok. I'm sure the WWE made a mint off those stupid things alone. -- nm - Jim May 3, 07:04 1
      - Yup, it's really amazing to see how the New Day have become fan faves due to their antics. - secretslacker May 3, 07:24
  - Because.... New Day Rocks! -- nm - Tim May 3, 07:01

- Show was okay. There were some good matches. -- nm - secretslacker May 3, 06:36
- worst because of what? Sales? crowd attitude? -- nm - Andie May 3, 06:33 1
  - Sales. There was no bad crowd attitude, because there was no crowd. We do a cash drop early on in events...for a typical Blues game, we usually drop - Jim May 3, 06:37

  - [deleted] 6
    - bernie has been saying this all this time too, but he's a commie so... -- nm - zeitgeist May 3, 14:22
    - This is one of those cases where it all has to be a perfect alignment of personality - Will Hunting May 3, 06:59
    - Hasn't the GOP been screaming for years that Obamacare kills jobs? That small businesses get to impose (non-Muslim) religious law? - Max May 3, 06:50
    - I think that's right... - Mel Profit May 3, 06:49
    - you are making sense -- nm - Pippy May 3, 06:48
    - agree -- nm - Beaker May 3, 06:43
  - The problem with this is this only prolongs the actual failure to govern punishment - Will Hunting May 3, 06:32 3

  - I know it's a musical that everyone's been raving about. Don't know what it's about though. -- nm - LMS May 3, 06:17 20

        the first? i think she predates that... -- nm - Andie May 3, 06:52

Don't like your state's flag? Improve it by incorporating Solange Knowles' dress from the Met Ball last night -- (link) - prayformojo May 3, 06:03 11
- there was another dress/thigh highs in black that had the same peek a boo effect -- nm* - zeitgeist May 3, 14:28
- The Met Gala is a bit 'fashion forward'. There are better pictures of that dress not as close up and it works. - ty97 May 3, 06:13 1
  - Step back 100 ft. and I look fabulous! -- nm* - Solange si May 3, 06:15
- did she get into a car accident on the way over? - Mel Profit May 3, 06:11 2
  - either that or she was walking headfirst in to some strong damn wind -- nm - prayformojo May 3, 06:12 1
    - (and then she had the toes of her knee-high galoshes snipped off) -- nm - prayformojo May 3, 06:13
- I'm way out of touch? Who is Solange, a sister of Beyonce? - Krusty May 3, 06:09 2
  - Little sister, yes. Only really notable for the incident in the elevator with Jay Z last year -- nm - prayformojo May 3, 06:11 1
    - Thanks. I can go back to my world where she doesn't exist. ;-) -- nm - Krusty May 3, 06:12

The horror show that is the Eurovision Song contest final is to be shown on US TV for the first time. -- (link) - LMS May 3, 05:52 13
- of course it's on Logo. Gays. -- nm - MDH May 3, 07:21
- Nice. -- nm - znufrii May 3, 06:21
- their demands were not met? -- nm* - prayformojo May 3, 06:01
- Is that the competition where countries send embarrassing people to sing awful songs? -- nm* - Krusty May 3, 05:58 9
  - That's the one. The country that wins has to host the following year so no-one wants to win as it's expensive to host. - LMS May 3, 06:02 8
    - Do the people in Europe actually enjoy the competition and songs? -- (edited) - Krusty May 3, 06:06 7
      - The UK entry this year is a standard catchy pop song. If we perform badly the UK is still in the doghouse. Brexit probably won't help either. -- (link) - LMS May 3, 06:12 [youtube] 4
        
        That seems too normal. Not good but normal. ;-) -- nm* - Krusty May 3, 06:14 3
        
        That pretty much sums up the quality of our songs each year. Israel's winning entry was good. -- nm - LMS May 3, 06:28 2
        
        Ha! I'll check it out tonight. -- nm - Krusty May 3, 06:51 1
        
        Two words: Conchita Wurst. -- nm - Robert Barontheon May 3, 06:53
      - the top 5 or so are usually legitimately good songs - Reagen May 3, 06:08 1
        
        Yeah, I kind of enjoy watching once it gets to that point. -- nm - Dark Callisto May 3, 06:22
we talk about Babymetal yesterday and today I see in the paper that they are coming here on Thursday. - Mel Profit May 3, 05:49 1

The mere presence of a first-class cabin can “trigger antisocial behavior” in passengers, a new study finds. -- (link) - ty97 May 3, 05:05
so if Letang doesn't get at least a game suspension the Capitals will riot right? (here is the hit) -- (link*) - Beaker May 3, 04:56 1
- if he hadn't left his feet I think he would get nothing, but the jump into him will cost him 1 game imo -- nm - Beaker May 3, 04:59
May 3, 1877 – Labatt Park, the oldest continually operating baseball grounds in the world, has its first game. -- nm - Beaker May 3, 04:31 3

Cities Have Had It With Their Ugly Flags -- (link) - Strongbad May 3, 04:11 25
- I give you the *worst* city flag of them all: -- (link) - Reagen May 3, 06:02 4
  - Meh, at least it doesn't have words. -- nm - Ender May 3, 07:16
  - Fort Whoop-Up? Really? - spamlet May 3, 06:53
  - I think this is the correct answer. - prayformojo May 3, 06:04
  - It's like looking at a fractal. -- nm - Robert Barontheon May 3, 06:04
- If you have to write the name of your organization on the flag itself, you have already failed. -- nm - Robert Barontheon May 3, 05:49 1
  - Exactly. No words! -- nm* - Krusty May 3, 05:58
- Roman Mars is smiling. -- nm* - iSpam May 3, 05:13 1
  - Heh I posted that before reading the article. I should have read first. -- nm - iSpam May 3, 05:15
- Hopefully this thinking spreads to some of the states too. -- nm - Roger More May 3, 04:53 15
  - Poll: which state has best/worst flag? -- nm - prayformojo May 3, 04:55 14
    - Nice: AK, AZ, NM, SC. Okay with small issues: IN, RI, TX. The rest are either ugly, racist or boring. -- nm - Krusty May 3, 06:04
    - Best (in no order): Texas, New Mexico, Alaska. HM: Indiana, Arizona, Colorado. - Robert Barontheon May 3, 05:55
    - Mississippi's is terrible. -- nm - Dark Callisto May 3, 05:55
    - So many are hard to read or are just ugly. Hawaii looks like it wasn't sure if wanted to be British or American. Most state flags are awful. -- nm - Krusty May 3, 05:54
    - Maryland's looks like a color-blind kid was given a paintball shotgun and no one had the heart to tell him he was awful. -- nm - Will Hunting May 3, 05:48 3
      - Yeah, that one is likely the worst one that isn't racist. -- nm - Krusty May 3, 05:52 2
        
        Washington is sort of uniquely dreadful. It's so dull and yet somehow still hurts my eyes to look at. Some weird color clash going on. -- nm - Robert Barontheon May 3, 05:58 1
        
        Just terrible. Are kids supposed to draw a picture of GW when drawing the flag? So many need be remade. -- nm - Krusty May 3, 06:00
    - Our flag is rather awful but not the worst. There's just too much going on and overall it's ugly. The flag of each borough isn't very good either. - Krusty May 3, 05:47
    - It's super basic, but I think New Mexico has a cool flag. I like Ohio's too, just because it isn't a rectangle. -- nm - volnelk May 3, 05:25
    - I don't know then all, but Oregon's is pretty terrible. -- nm - Roger More May 3, 05:10 3
      - At least it has a beaver on the back. -- nm - Robert Barontheon May 3, 05:50
      - (From a design standpoint. Obviously Mississippi's flag is the worst) -- nm - Roger More May 3, 05:12 1
        
        There are a few where the rebel flag is still used like Alabama and Florida. They should come up with new designs. -- nm* - Krusty May 3, 05:49
