"The glut, which at 900,000 cubic yards is the largest in U.S. history, means that there is enough cheese sitting in cold storage to wrap around the U.S. Capitol,"
Awesome! The artist Christo merely wrapped the German Parliament in cloth. Wrapping the US Capitol in cheese would absolutely top that!
Now, if we also have a surplus of bacon . . . we could also wrap it in that, and fry that bastard, and have lunch for the rest of the year!

Does anyone have a where and when to look for your location calculator link?
I mean like, you type in "I am in Berlin" and the calculator says: "Set your alarm clock for 04:00, look South by Southwest, curse the weather, go back to bed".
Hey, if the US government is a little short of cash, and might need to "shutdown -h now" . . . maybe they could consider instead merchandising some "Area 51" stuff . . . ?
I'm sure that some folks out there would be interested in buying some "Area 51" T-shirts, pens and baseball caps made with genuine UFO alien materials . . .

Oh, sorry... The current cost is set at 5.6 Billion, my mistake.
Back in the 70's, 6 Million could buy you a Bionic Man.
Today, a wall costs you 6 Billion.
Wow, now that is inflation!
Could we maybe build a troop of 70's Bionic Men to patrol the border, instead of a wall . . . ?
That maybe would be a compromise that both parties could accept, and reopen the government again.
The icon on mine says 11G . . . most phones only go up to 10G . . . but mine goes up to 11G!
Lame.
In Putinist Russia, Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant DO YOU!
I am the breath on the back of your neck, the breeze in your hair, the moisture in the air.
Wow! Cool! It sounds like you are a Huldufólk!
You are most welcome on my lawn!
Not that I would notice you anyway . . .
I thought that the US government was shutdown right now. Why is NASA still working?
Although, I could imagine that the folks working on this project would continue, even if they didn't get paid for it.
The Russians would have poisoned him.
Unfortunately, it gets even creepier . . . poisoning would have been a pleasant way to go.

If he's smart he'll invest that money.
Well, now that he bragged about it in public . . . the IRS will probably be wanting to have a chat with him.
Folks who I know who have serious wealth . . . they don't talk about it.
you exactly where the crust went, and when, and why.
Well, it's perfectly obvious to me . . . someone ate the crust . . . just like that last piece of pizza in the box that mysteriously disappears.
Keep your eyes out for folks with Earth Crust Crumbs on their chins!
y = a[sum(wx+b)] on it.

ROT13(ROT13(x)) = x for any basic Latin-alphabet text x.
I think we can trust him.
I think we can trust him, as far as we can throw him.
We Swiss are even dumb enough to recycle without deposits, silly us.
We . . . Americans . . . need a serious cause to get us off our hairy assess . . . what we need is . . .
A War on Water!
Instead of all the expensive, high tech stuff, might the just allow people to raise and harvest rhinos?
Alligator farming became a thing in the southern US,
Now I really like that idea! In some southern US states, feral pigs are a serious problem. Apparently, they can be overly ornery.
A rhino might be able to mix it up with them . . . as in, the rhino says to the feral pig:
"You think you bad, mutha fucka? You think you bad?"
providing a valuable source of handbags, shoes and tough, tasteless, chewy meat, and the alligators are becoming the pests that they once were.
I think that minor detail can be solved when the winter cold kills the gorillas, or something like that.
On Slashdot, we like to get ourselves into a huff and hissy fit, and blame things on the Big Industry. Like Big Oil, Big Coal, Big Pharma, etc.
Obviously, the culprit here is Big Nipple.
I like to eat Cheetos and drink Mountain Dew while I play Fortnite from my parent's basement.
What a puny claim!

611 for suicide, 911 for extroverted suicide. 311 for a really delicious guacamole recipe.
I guess the 666 calls will be routed to me . . .
Let's go back to building with wood and replicate the 1906 fire in San Francisco...
Well, instead of wood, we could try sticks and straw.
But then we might get a knock on the door:
"Little pig, little pig, let me come in."
"No, no, by the hair on my chiny chin chin."
"Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in."
Personally, I'll make my house of bricks.
Uh-oh . . . that triggered an annoying and frightening musical thought in me . . .
If they can make it there they can make it anywhere
It's up to you . . . Nor-way . . . Nor-way!

What kind of “brand” name is Building 8 anyway?
Kinda sorta like a brand named "Area 51".
Hey, if the US government is a little short of cash, and might need to "shutdown -h now" . . . maybe they could consider instead merchandising some "Area 51" stuff . . . ?

Calling Facebook a "media company" instead of a "technology company" makes no difference whatsoever.
Well, a "tech" company will have an easier time getting H-1B visas granted, as opposed to a "media" company.
But I can't imagine that Facebook would need any H-1Bs . . .
