I can neither confirm nor deny the veracity of this recipe.

NFL owners will vote next week whether to allow each team a possession in overtime in the playoffs if the team winning the OT coin toss kicks a field goal on the first series.

This seems a little odd. I wonder if the purpose is to entice teams to go for the TD which would end the game, rather than settle for the field goal. But I looked at my fantasy league statistics from this past year (the NFL site didn’t have league-wide stats) and there were about 800 field goals vs 1200 offensive TDs, so scoring a TD is more likely.

Been there, seen almost none of it. I was jet-lagged and alone and only saw what I could see from the cab going from the airport to Gare de Lyon.

Just in case you need the information.

I didn’t read the whole thing, but since it’s The Onion, I assume it’s funny.

It’s not April 1 or anything, but somehow a climate denial site is listed at #30 (the list is alphabetical — can you guess watt it is?). And there’s an aggregator site listed as well, so it’s really the top 28.

No, these were not outsourced overseas. I remember milk delivery — we had an insulated box on the front porch, and got the delivery at about 4 AM a few times a week. The clinking of the bottles as the delivery man walked up to the house would wake me up now and then.

I’ve witnessed a pretty nice Rubidium reaction, when I was cleaning out the oven we used to make an atomic beam. The oven was little more than a pipe with a hole in it, along with a removable plug for refilling/cleaning access, and heater wire wrapped around the outside. A little squirt of water into the tube, and BOOM! Turns out there was a macroscopic bit of unoxidized Rb left inside. Good times.
