That find a grave site is amazing. I've found the marker of every relative I've ever looked for during a midnight rabbit hole.

Then the problem is, that exit is miles away from where you parked your car, if you can remember at all where you parked it.

I could only hope that the current inflation rate is as low as 20.49 %.

Reply to TIL the phrase “you can’t handle the truth” was created/ improvised by Jack Nicholson. The movie's original screenplay boasted the line "You already have the truth," which Nicholson trimmed to "You can't handle the truth." by SixedSigma
And in real life, that little tirade would have landed Nicholson in the little lock up room behind the courtroom.

You know, one simple word would resolve this whole controversy with me and I would shut my mouth. That word is "theory". When scientists dropped that word when speaking of evolution, they lost my respect as fact-based scientists.

I can't. Because it's impossible to know with certainty. I admit I don't know, and don't make up fake crap about it.

The thing you don't seem to understand is that we're not talking about my intelligence, but of the intelligence of so-called "scientists" who advocate such a ridiculous "science" as evolution. Not to mention the intelligence (or lack thereof) of their followers.

They don't know. But it's embarrassing to not know, so they just go with the popular theory. It keeps the grants coming in. They shouldn't be embarrassed, because it's impossible to know with any certainty what happened 54 million years ago.

LOL...Evolution is such cheap junky science. No respectable scientist believes in evolution as anything but a fairy tale.
