  • Seth Mnookin:
    He was released. “: what happened to the naked guy in boston? Why does so much of this story make no sense?”
  • zach:
    why was there shooting if sus2 was in the boat the whole time? Everyone saying he was unarmed.
  • Seth Mnookin:
    Really? ‘Everyone’? Or Internet nutters? MT : why shooting if sus2 was in the boat? Everyone saying he was unarmed.
  • Paul Peppers:
    how did bos police “know” it was sus2 in boat (when firing flashbangs) as opposed to (yes longshot) a 3rd party
  • Seth Mnookin:
    All they knew was it was someone who fired shots at them. MT : how did police know sus2 in boat when firing flash-bangs?

I was surprised that so many people called flash-bangs non lethal. Not so at close range.

  • Dan Moren:
    Bought my mom and aunt cheese knives from there when I was last in SEA (it’s their family name, my middle name).
  • Glenn Fleishman:
    Hilarious! They are the Apple of cheeses, by which I mean they have obscene profit margins for what is an exceptional product.

$10 a pound! Clearly, this is a man flushed with Jeopardy success.

  • Glenn Fleishman:
    But half off! A bargain. It is the best cheese in some ways.

I judge all my cheeses by the ease of removal of the cellophane slice wrap.

only when I buy the off-off-brand. Cheap, if a bit chewy.

it must be tough living in a country without good nachos.

I eat well when I’m in Europe, but I’m usually craving something horribly American when I get back.

sure, but why would you?

these days, neither do we.

    – it’s more smarts than size. Pitbulls cld choke us with the chain we walk em on if they were capable of thinking it thru
  • Zak Smith:
    . But don’t you think that evolution would’ve given them (or at least pigs) that instinctive tactic if we were as slow as Huts?

I’ve always assumed Jabba didn’t care & that was the invention of fanservice.

  • Josh Centers:
    Interesting how quick the 60 Minutes account was suspended. Does Twitter usually ban hacked accounts?

if it took more than an hour, would have to rename the account.

  • Josh Centers:
    Good point. Two hours would be 120 Minutes, and that’s a whole other show.

  • Daniel Jalkut:
    Walking around Montréal, people-watching. Had an “I can’t believe these people all have health insurance” moment, then my head exploded.
  • Scott Morrison:
    sorry but head explosions aren’t covered for visitors under Canadian Health care
  • Daniel Jalkut:
    Fucking Canada!

Check your wallet; if the money looks like Monopoly cash, you may be eligible for the insurance rider.
