    I don't know but a few Golden Knights did a demo jump into the local college football game here in town Saturday. My daughter saw them from the back deck and came running and yelling for me to come see, that was pretty cool to see them from our house. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    I had a car that was in a hailstorm once. It had dimples all over. I wasn't really measuring my mpg very closely, "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    I've only seen the show a couple times but the Airplane on a Treadmill myth is my favorite. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    I like a nice stout or any number of wheat beers. A black and tan is also nice. I also enjoy some cabernet sauvignon sometimes. Not much of a liquor drinker, I only have a mixed drink out once in a long while but am partial to Jack when I do. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    Marriage is really just a property contract. It has predefined rights and beneftis which are obtained through state sanction. Nothing more, nothing less. All the stuff about religion or relationship commitment can be achieved absent state sanction and are not inherent in the legal status. Personally I am for doing away with state sanctioned marriage. Let couples make their own contractual relationship agreements. That's probably unrealistic but I'm willing to let gays be as miserable as the rest of the married people.

    I don't steal, my youngest doesn't like Reese's and gives them to me. That's a total win. (there's some other stuff she doesn't like, too but as long as I get the Reese's, that's good enough for me). "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    Virginia's races are about Virginia issues. I don't think it has much to do w/ Obama at all. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    ummmm....they'd have to have a pretty big sample size to reach statistical significance. Not that there's anything wrong w/ that, just saying.... "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    Yes, the governement borrowed future demand for new cars and artificialy incentivized people to use it now. The governement also distorted the market for used cars by taking many functional vehicles out of circumlation. All in the attempt to voost up failed auto-makers after throwing money at them instead of allowing them to go through the normal course of bankruptcy that any other failed company goes through.

    if $5000 went to the dealer, where exactly did the other $19,000 go? if it costs $19,000 to hand out $5,000, what are the admin costs of a government/public/consumer option going to be? That's not what it is say, 24,000 cash outlay for each vehicle sold during that time period. What it is saying (with rounded figures) is that for every five vehicles sold during cash for clunkers (gov't outlay=25,000), four would have been sold without the rebate. The addition to net sales generated by the government spending was 1. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    I sometimes put my batteries in the freezer (never the fridge). "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    I don't mind going out w/ multiple people early on in the dating process. Not sleeping with just going out with and getting to know. I tend to decide fairly early if it is somebody w/ romantic potential, so by the third of fourth date if I am not at least thinking about exclusivity (whether or not I'm ready to have the talk) there is really no reason to continue dating somebody. I don't usually tell women unless they ask. My assumption is that they are also dating (or at least talking to) other people until we mutually decide otherwise and I am okay w/ that.

    0:0:3 It rained something awful Saturday and not a single load went up, so I didn't even bother going over. Sunday was absolutely beautiful and I managed to do both Cat D jumps and my first Cat E--tremendously fun. I hope they were boring for my instructor I'm cleared for self-supervision in freefall and I am off the radio. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    I refrigerate Ketchup simply because with the high sugar content it is a great incubator for mold. I keep a stick of butter out in the winter but not in the summer, it is too hot. I bake my own bread and usually do two loaves at a time. I leave one on the counter and put one in the fridge, again to prevent mold. I store excess flour (basically any that I don't but in plastic w/ a firm seal) in either the refrigerator or freezer to prevent flour bug investations. I've had them once or twice and I lose a lot of money in inventory and it takes a lot of time and effort to fully get rid of them. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    If you believe in something like the punctuated equilibrium theory of evolution then the differences in societies, weak members, etc. are mostly irrelevant. Even if you don't, we also would be far from the only animals to act communally--ants, bees, pack mammals, etc. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    This book is very poorly researched and documented. It is likely many of its claims are apocryphal. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    Highly dependent on jurisdiction. I've only gotten a few but in some jurisdictions they will pretty much automatically reduce your speed (and the insurance hit) if you show up to court. I got a 73 in a 55 reduced to 64. Have to ask locally, though. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    Springfield is very populated so it is possible that he could be seen by a lot of people, I think. Still stupid, IMHO. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    Where I live they are not testing. Swine flu was/is pretty rampant around here, especially in the schools. My daughter brought home an illness and shared it (thanks). I had the right symptoms. I'm assuming it was swine flu. Seasonal flu has not been seen here yet. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
