      That last one assumes that we don't control everything in the universe down to each individual atom.

        Love stuff like this. Love me perspective stuff.

        My favorite factoid of the Cleo/Pizza Hut (!) sort pertains to American history. When WWI began, Thomas Jefferson had been dead for 100 years, or less than.

          True?

          Are dogs in the US Army one rank above their handlers?
          For the USMC all dogs are given a rank that is at least 1 rank above their handler. The idea behind this is that if the handler is ever found guilty of abusing their dog, in addition to normal animal abuse charges, they also get all the charges for assaulting a superior.

          (Don't know why the answer is for the USMC when the Q was about the Army.)

              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                I wonder how long it would take light to cross that black hole.

                Oh wait...

                  Why did the light cross the black hole?

                  Because it was a science denier.

                  Education is extremely important.

                          Solar Cycle 25 is approaching solar maximum already, with far more sunspots than the model curve predicted by this point. Look at the sun today, and on this day last year
