Many 4 legged animals have evolved to obscure their ankles by putting them in odd places. What do they know that we don't?

The vagrancies of incidental change?

Suddenly, all those US progressives that have been wearing Pope t-shirts are going, "Wait wha??"

Instead of wearing memorabilia shirts, they should be campaigning for the pope to wear a sign around his neck that says, "Still Catholic, Folks." And maybe a bell or somethin', I'unno. So that people will be less surprised that he is, in fact, the catholic pope. To the rest of it, by and large the dude's not actually terribly more progressive, if at all, than previous popes. He's just largely better at framing things so he looks less like a backassward jackwad. Directs words towards the more defensible/positive aspects, still as catholic as soiling yourself in a confessional.

And @smj, I'm just kinda' scratching my head at that. Her record's largely public knowledge. There's still no real need to defend, and just about everything that's really necessary to say has been said, imo. Trump et al spewing bullshit doesn't really change that to any substantial degree. I guess it'll need to be repeated at some point, because people have the political memories of lobotomized goldfish, but still.

Beyond that, hell, if your husband isn't going to go to bat for you, who should? Him staying mum on the subject, especially considering his background and history, would probably be worse from the campaigning point of view than anything else. Hillary'll say what needs saying in time, to the extent she hasn't already.

And nah, mainiac, far as I'm aware it's run the course several times already. Think they've just started up another one or somethin'. They can't seem to find anything more damaging, somehow.

Nah, he had pants right up until the point he contracted terminal fire crotch. Then, no more pants.

How come every umbrella I've ever owned gets destroyed by the slightest breeze?

Presumably 'cause you owned shoddy umbrellas? Either that or that "slightest breeze" is actually throwing cats around...

It is pretty hard to find an umbrella that'll actually resist strong winds, though. Their construction doesn't really lend itself well to the task. Looking into things, you apparently want one that's fiberglass and has multiple rib-whatsits? Seems like most are made out of shite aluminum and whatnot.

What you'd want if you want one that just won't do the inversion thing is probably an umbrella that just doesn't fold out. Y'know, something like sheet metal on a stick or whatev'. Be clumsy as the blazes to carry around, but it'd be hell to break.

... m... mainiac. What's up with that picture's name?

More of a general media thing than anime in particular, really.

... ree, egypt's current gdp is 300 billion and a bit. Its gdp in 1970 was 8 and change. You might want to make sure you weren't forgetting zeros instead of... well, doing what you just did.
