Quote of the Day: Strange Times
R. Alex Whitlock
"You know the world is off tilt, when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest basketball player is Chinese, and Germany doesn't want to go to war." -Charles Barkley

It reminds me of an episode of Sliders. For those of you who don't remember that series, Jerry O'Connell and friends were stuck exploring alternate realities and couldn't get back home. It was a high-tech Gilligan's island, in a way, without the interesting clothes and with better special effects. In the episode to which I refer, they finally get back home into the real world... except they're not sure if they're home or not. They pick up a newspaper and are stunned by what it has to say...

"O.J. Simpson, murder defendant?!"

"Cleveland Indians in the World Series?!"

"Dammit. We must not be in the real world."

And off they go...

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
