Robin Williams on Craig Ferguson (2009, 2010, 2011, 2013)

(Craig’s one of the few comedians who could keep up with Robin.)

This is longer than an hour. The most I felt comfortable skipping over for you is 12 minutes.

So how do we know that time is not already reversed? Or better question, why would one call either direction forward or reverse?

I’m trying to imagine how (say) science would work in reverse. Instead of making new observations and making discoveries, would scientists be working towards undiscovery? Or perhaps consciousness would disappear while…[Read more]

N95 while working on cleaning out a moldy old boat’s cabin

Again I don’t have the facts to hand but it has been shown that these black athletes do share a common trait, known as the “super-fast-twitch” gene. It was also found in the Caribbean athletes and upon further investigation it was shown that these athletes all originated from the same area of western Africa. Colin…

[…] When I was a kid I made the silly mistake of trying to play fetch with a steakbone that was recently given to him. He bit me so hard it drew a lot of blood.
