If you ever wonder why people say "slippery as an eel" I can confirm that one time we had to hold an eel for a vet to do a blood draw and that eel ended up on the floor 47 times out of 48 attempts

They're also responsible for one of the best emails I've ever received, when the college office sent out a plea for sightings of Professor Biscuit while conveniently forgetting to mention that he was a cat...(I won't comment on how often a similar email might have gone out about human Professors...)

I reckon you can learn a lot about the atmosphere in various Oxford colleges by looking at what they choose to name their cats (courtesy of @oxfordclarion.bsky.social ). We should all aspire to the energy of a Teabag, Isambard Kitten Brunel, or an Admiral Flapjack

8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

There were a lot of great moments from tonight but the best by far was Miz hanging out well after the allotted time for the event was over and ripping cards with a kid wearing his jersey. They even pulled a Miz!

This soup is really good. White beans, rosemary, thyme, broth, garlic, red pepper flakes, and pepper, olive oil. That's it. You can dress it up if you want (the picture has added veggies and I've made it w ham before) but it is really good as is and is simple and fast.

John Smoltz sounds nervous tonight because he knows after Scherzer is done he’s going to be sacrificed to the Bunt God and Scherzer is going to take his place in the booth. The writ was signed with blood and smoke. The wicker pyre awaits. The color man will be born again.
