Craig Sawyers Posted July 19, 2021 Report Posted July 19, 2021 Ella Fitzgerald with her assistant in a Houston PD holding cell after she and fellow jazz great Dizzy Gillespie were arrested for "throwing dice" in Fitzgerald’s dressing room at the Houston Music Hall, 1955 1 2 Quote
Craig Sawyers Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 I wonder how Alan Shepard, a guy whose military, test pilot and astronaut is of the highest achievement, would feel about his name being associated with Bezos's vanity project? I guess Bezos, Musk and Branson wouldn't have a place at the table if NASA got its act together. 2 Quote
Knuckledragger Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Posted July 23, 2021 This is a bizarre video. It's about a very zoomer meme (amongus) but it's based on a boomer* film that's as old as I am. *The Pythons aren't actually boomers. They're all from the Silent Generation. Quote

Beefy Posted August 4, 2021 Report Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) The problem I have with that video is how the questions are loaded. Arabic numerals is the official and colloquial name of the numbers we use. Lemaitre's theory was officially called the hypothesis of the primeval atom and colloquially known as the big bang theory. By referring to it only as his theory of creation is quite silly. Still, I bet the 'Republicans' and 'Democrats' they polled for that video are really just 'idiots' and 'idiots'.

Dusty Chalk Posted August 4, 2021 Report Posted August 4, 2021 I just found it amusing that that video was brought to you by Fox News. 2 Quote
