The answers were hermetically sealed in a mayonnaise jar on Funk & Wagnall's porch.

My sister had this 45. I used to borrow it a lot. I was 8. I was socially conscious. I owned the 45 of Ball of Confusion and brought it to school for show and tell as a record that told a story.

Can it be done electronically? If he has access to a U.S. checking account, he could get direct deposit. I got my first disability direct deposit for the year today and after the increased Medicare part B deduction & increased deduction for my dental rider, it's $38 more than I got last year. The amount I'm allowed to earn went up $80/mo (before taxes), so I figure I'll have ~$100 more a month all told.

Many consumers on this site have similar feelings about the packages they order.

Crossing the line: Ex-nude art performer sues MOMA after staff 'turned a blind eye,' allowed patrons to fondle his genitals on multiple occasions John Bonafede argues in the suit filed in Manhattan court Monday that his genitals were fondled by five different men on seven different occasions at an exhibit called “Marina Abramovich: The Artist is Present.”

Don't worry- it's very common for men to have anxiety about not being able to go long enough.

Sofía Vergara didn't want to be an 'old mom' in Joe Manganiello marriage: 'It's not fair to the baby' “I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother,” the “Modern Family” star, 51, explained in a new interview.

Die hard, indeed. These lecherous little critters literally go out with a bang. Meet the Australian antechinus, a promiscuous marsupial known for its killer sex protocol — and then being cannibalized so the others can resume romping. Their “Hannibal”-esque hanky panky habits were outlined recently in the journal Australian Mammalogy. Zoologists published the first-ever photo of a male feasting on a fellow of his species, taken in August 2023 at Point Lookout in New England National Park, a haven for these suicidal sex machines. “While cannibalistic behavior has been reported in some dasyurids [their marsupial family], it is very rare to observe in the wild,” Associate Professor Andrew Baker from Queensland University of Technology told South West New Service. During their one to three-week mating period, these shrew-sized marsupials go at it Down Under in “frenzied bouts lasting as long as 14 hours,” researchers wrote, after which all the males will inevitably perish. “Certain stress-induced death follows for all males as surging testosterone causes cortisol to flood uncontrolled through the body, reaching pathological levels,” said Baker while describing these fatal breeding frenzies. Thankfully, the bodies of the deceased antechinus don’t go to waste but rather fuel the carnal congregation like a post-mortem power bar. “The males drop dead, which provides an opportunity for cheap energy gain via cannibalism for still-living males and pregnant or lactating female antechinuses,” said Baker. “For the later-breeding species, both sexes may take the opportunity to cannibalize dead males of the earlier-breeding species, to help stack on weight and condition before their own breeding period commences.” In other words, they die so others can love in a salacious circle of life. Researchers identified both eaters and those eaten in the aforementioned photo as mainland dusky antechinuses based on their body size, foreclaw length, ears and eyes, fur color and shagginess. They postulated that the eater, which they believed to also be male (although females also practice cannibalism), would soon suffer the same fate because it exhibited symptoms of eventual demise. “The antechinus seen feeding on its dead comrade appeared vigorous and large-bodied, but it had damage to its right eye and hair loss on its arms and shoulders, which is associated with stress-induced decline in males,” said Baker. “He was perhaps destined soon to become somebody else’s meal.”

God bless(ed) you.

Scientists are taking “The Meg” down a peg. An international review of the megalodon, a giant shark that went extinct 3.6 million years ago, has suggested that it was much slimmer than researchers previously thought. The mammoth ocean predator became the stuff of literary and cinematic legend, most recently with the 2018 sci-fi thriller “The Meg,” which portrayed the super-sized shark opposite action star Jason Statham. A lack of fossil evidence led paleontologists to assume the megalodon would have a robust and stocky body like the great white, and measure up to 65 feet. Now, University of California researchers, alongside a team of marine experts from around the world, believe the killer shark was leaner and potentially even longer. They compared its build to that of a mako shark. “The remarkably simple evidence that [Otodus megalodon] had a more slender body than the great white shark was hidden in plain sight,” said Professor Kenshu Shimada, whose new report was published in the journal Palaeontologia Electronica A “eureka moment” came when they compared the teeth and spine of a living great white shark with megalodon teeth fossils and a reconstruction of its vertebral column. Said study author Phillip Sternes, “It was still a giant, predatory shark. But the results strongly suggest that the megalodon was not merely a larger version of the modern great white shark.” Their findings also suggest the megalodon maintained a different diety and lifestyle than assumed with a more massive shark. The longer body required a longer digestive canal, so the formidable creature would have needed more time between feedings to process meals and eat less frequently than the more truncated depiction. “With increased ability to digest its food, it could have gone for longer without needing to hunt. This means less predation pressure on other marine creatures,” Sternes explained, adding a hypothetical: “If I only have to eat one whale every so often, whale populations would remain more stable over time.” The results of the study could also change the story of the megalodon’s extinction. It was previously assumed that the ancient species died out due to naturally dwindling prey in their environment. “I believe there were a combination of factors that led to the extinction, but one of them may have been the emergence of the great white shark, which was possibly more agile, making it an even better predator than the megalodon,” Sternes speculated. “That competition for food may have been a major factor in its demise.” Researchers say this “major scientific advancement” could be just a small piece of prehistory in need of rewriting. Added Shimada, “The continued mystery like this makes paleontology, the study of prehistoric life, a fascinating and exciting scientific field.” https://nypost.com/2024/01/21/lifestyle/megalodon-not-quite-as-mega-as-scientists-and-the-meg-filmmakers-thought-new-study/

David Soul's former long-time girlfriend, whom he dated throughout Starsky & Hutch (and throughout his marriage) died the other day. She'd been the one who had found (her neighbor) Rebecca Schaeffer after she was shot and called 911. She had heard the sound of a gunshot.

When naming a child, you might try and steer clear of any possible negative connotations. But sometimes that’s easier said than done, especially if you accidentally overlook your future child’s initials. A woman named Samantha recently went viral on TikTok for sharing how her name has drawn negative attention as she’s gotten older and started operating in professional workplaces. Clearly, her parents didn’t think about email address conventions when she was born in the 90’s. She begins the clip by announcing that she is moving to another job soon, something that fills her with “dread” because of an issue that always arises when she changes workplaces. “I always have to have the tough conversation about how my name fits into a company email structure,” she continues. “My name is Samantha Hart,” she explains. “And most companies use the email designation of first initial, last name, meaning my email would be ‘shart’.” For the uninitiated, “shart” is a term for an unexpected, well, let’s just say, mishap, when one is trying to pass gas. Samantha says she’s had two professional jobs so far and they’ve both had that email structure, leading HR to reach out to her on both occasions. “They told me that my name doesn’t exactly fit the email structure and would I mind if they gave me a different structure for my email,” she says. “To which I say, yeah, I don’t want an email that says shart. Fix it. Give me something else.” She now wants to know if she should proactively reach out to her new job to let them know or make them initiate the awkward conversation. The response to her video was a flood of solidarity from fellow ‘unfortunate name’ bearers. From Chris Littmann (email: Clittmann) to Samantha Wallo (Swallo), the confessions kept rolling in. Sue Hartlove’s work email? Shartlove. One user said they knew a Tiffany Estes (Testes), and someone called Rach says her alias is Rkelley. Then there’s the unforgettable BAllsman and also Patrick Ecker. Parents-to-be take note!
