    Studies show that if a cat falls off the seventh floor of a building it has about thirty percent less chance of surviving than a cat that falls off the twentieth floor.
    It supposedly takes about eight floors for the cat to realize what is occurring, relax, and correct itself.

    Some interesting trends this year. The main one: People are not making money this year by investing in other forms of money, they're making money by investing in actual things that people can use, which is a hallmark of a recession.

    It’s hard to say, but when it got to the point that they started celebrating a first down I gave up on trying to figure it out.

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    As they display increased emphasis on celebratory behaviors for their camera time, it is pure amusement for me to watch those same players reveal how emotionally fragile they are when they are losing and forget the cameras are still watching them.

    I didn't notice exactly when Edward changed his avatar, but now that I see it, I am very much enjoying it.
