References to forms of national leadership are interesting. A nice peak for the reign of the Virgin Queen, the appearance and growth of President in line with
the upstart of those bloody colonies in North America, President finally tops King just about the time of the Great War, but King reasserts until the Second World War finally pushes President on top. Interestingly enough, King comes back and surpasses President just about the turn of the Millennium.

How does my girlfriend then retrieve her birthday present from the inner box?
Well, if it is too heavy and not restrained then retrieval of the inner box should not be a problem. She might have to scrape bee goo off its sides, however.
Eleventh grade for me. I followed the Shuttle program ever since watching Enterprise "launching" from the back of the 747 in glide testing. I remember thinking (in my youthful arrogance) that it was silly and a PR stunt to include McAuliffe on the mission. Launches were becoming routine, but we still stopped everything in Colorado history class to watch the spectacle. Not much else happened in school that day as every class seemed to diminish into quiet speculation as to what could have happened. Lots of discussion too in math and science classes about the space program, the disasters that beset the Apollo and so forth.
To this day I fight back chills when I hear Mission Control say "Go with throttle up" during a launch.
And in September this year it will all end...
I have had buffalo steaks and buffalo burgers in over a dozen different restaurants, and "wild and rangy" are not adjectives I would have chosen to describe the experience.
I think it would be prudent to call BoA, tell them what you received, and make sure someone isn't laundering money using an account opened with your SSN, name, or address.
Or, failing that, at least turn it over to a Postal Inspector.
When you have a cataclysmic software bug do you settle on your first explanation, or do you make a quick hypothesis, check it, reject it, then come up with another as facts dictate?
I dunno; blaming Microsoft always seemed a reliable first step.
If somebody can explain to me how knowledge about Mars once having water in the distant past would change the way that we perform some possible future Mars expedition, for example, I'd like to hear it.
The desirability of finding surface water in the planetary history of Mars has nothing to do with future exploration or colonization of the planet by humans. Instead, it bears directly on the hopes of science to find that life has developed elsewhere in the universe than on Earth. Water is very crucial to the development of the life forms we are best familiar with, and Mars is similar enough to Earth to raise tantalizing possibilities should the prior constraints all be met.
Of course, it would be much *more* exciting if we could verify life outside the solar system. There is just enough chance that the solar wind or some spin-off chuck of meteorite ejecta from Earth could carry enough bacterium to seed Mars with a form of life, that we would still have doubts as to whether the life we found independently arose. But, Mars is close to us in stellar terms and the experiments are "easily" done, so we do them.
Maybe it might be easier to say Humanity is lonely, and we're really hoping that we're not the only ones in the bar.
The walkers wait at intersections and then proceed at about 3-4 miles per hour. The drivers wait at intersections and then proceed at 35 until the next intersection.
It's the bicycle messengers that will really mess up the stats.

Might as well, the interest rates almost the same.

People do stupid things. Groups of people do *really* stupid things.

to go along with the mandatory refrains.
What? Every super hero is required to have a theme song now? Let me guess, this was hidden in the Health Care bill, right?
Yes it is. In this case, God smited them with a pair of plagues. A lot like what he did to the Egyptians for picking on the Jews.
It took ten plagues for the Egyptians to catch on, and only two for the bees? Are you mocking the Egyptians?
Any guidelines on how to help the bees return?
Since the military was already involved, they forwarded your question to the Navy SEALS. The reply mentioned high explosives ...
Hanged. Not beheaded. Hanging doesn't get blood all over the executioner's nice black robe, or the front row of the audience.

With everyone yelling about obesity these days, maybe that's a win.
I suspect that the poster was referring to the original purpose and makeup of the Senate, not what it has become after the switch to popular election.

If we could cover all the land area in the world with bamboo (heh) then we could sequester basically all excess carbon in 15 years or less.
Oh sure, and then be overrun with frikken pandas ...
Use of crime shows to justify interpretation of civilian-to-law-enforcement interaction is nearly certifiable evidence of insanity.
... then you should try this (replace with your name of course). http://images.google.com/images?q=your+name
Not so much. I tried it and nothing in the first 30 pages showed my face. But then, there's a lot of us with the same name out there.
A blessing, if you're driven up a tree by privacy worries. Rather a pain if you're trying to distinguish yourself by name in marketing efforts.
We now have public education and mass media.
You say this like it's a good thing ...

Exterminating 90% of the world's population equals the end of the world...
Why? Because 300,000,000 possible breeding pairs won't be enough?
Backspace on an old terminal, particularly if you answered the TERM? prompt wrong.

'Not big enough' sounds like another planet/not-a-planet argument with vaugely defined criteria.
There are some emails in my spam box that think they might be able to help it out ...
