I listen to a fair amount of "Wait, Wait - Don't Tell Me", with varying degrees of exasperation, and I'm pretty sure that's the cleverest thing Peter Sagal has said.
Apparently this mornings Althouse theme is "GAY". Are we supposed to be entertained? Educated? Is there something profoundly gay we're supposed to take away from this?
I assumed he went everywhere on his Harley with ham sandwiches stuffed in the pockets of his clothing that only cost him $7.42, after all of his coupon clipping and bargain hunting.
Presumably even when he’s on a plane he’s still got his sandwiches and cheap clothes. As he’ll let you know over and over and over and…….
IPhones, texting, and autocorrect are changing how we communicate. From now on everything is only approximate and one has to assume that errors have been made. The decline in precision and exactitude in writing is definitely a bad thing, but everyone who ever was sent to grammar or spelling jail by the grammar or spelling police, as well as everyone who resisted their English teachers' advice to always pretend to be more certain about things than one really is, will have mixed feelings.

That's one of the stupidest comments I have ever seen.
The Island of Misplaced Comments is near the North Pole, and once a year Santa Claus distributes the comments to the threads they belong to -- if you are good.
Photons aren't massless, they're “rest mass-less” — which is to say, if you could ever bring them to a physical halt, then they would have no energy left (have no “rest mass”) and thus would cease to exist. However, if the photon exists, then it has energy — and it therefore possesses mass precisely equivalent to that energy, by Einstein's famous E = Mc^2 (or rather its converse M = E/c^2).
Wince said... If photons are massless how does gravity (e.g., black hole) bend light?
Gravity slows time, the closer you are to the mass, the slower time flows. This causes the path of an object to bend, similar to the way that ocean waves that are traveling diagonal to the shore bend towards the shore due to traveling slower in the shallower water.

Slow down a minute professor. Let’s give this some thought. Around here "stupidest comment I have ever seen" is a really high bar. Have you reflected on some of the cracker nonsense that posters like Tim in Vermont, Drago, Can of Cheese, and Michael K have posted over the years?
Won't be the first time. Won't be the last. Just to clear something up. Not a homophobe. Just weary of the tedious self congratulations."Yay! I'm gay!" Good. Got it. I genuinely don't care what sexual hijinx you engage in with someone else. Carry on.

That’s a side of him I wish we’d seen more of.

From the Donald Trump school of typos.
On Vatican Air, you can never fly massless.

MassMan!
I'm always a little suspicious of people with ear buds. It's like saying...."I don't want to listen to you!"

I didn’t know that he used planes.

That's one of the stupidest comments I have ever seen. What, did you aim at a different post and end up smearing Governor Walker with your homophobia?
The Man Who Should be President. Bravest politician in America.

By curving space-time.
If Walker is massless, why does he need a plane?
Photons aren't massless, they're “rest mass-less” — which is to say, if you could ever bring them to a physical halt, then they would have no energy left (have no “rest mass”) and thus would cease to exist.

Mistress Ann cracking the whip.
I like it.
So does Rusty, probably.
Meade too.

Forget Newton. Think Einstein.
Maybe his masks were made out of Higgs bosons.
He's an independent mass inside an object that is perpetually correcting its motion in order to follow the curvature of the Earth.
Ive never seen a mass, much less a church on a plane so technically he's right.
Now lets do Joe. Or sweet dick willies GF.
The unbearable lightness of Scott Walker.
OTOH, Act 10 is still in force.
Maybe he considers his essential self to be his soul, which is massless.
"Thank you Mistress Ann,could I have another?" (Whack!)...
He was part of the "mass" hysteria, tweeting out a pic of himself and sons at Lake Michigan shore all wearing "mass".

Golf clap.
He always was a masshole.

When did he live in Massachusetts? Cuz we've got the monopoly.
