When I mentioned it to my wife, she seemed to think that it had to do with researching new medications to deal with cancer. But she wasn't entirely sure.

Um, Lethe, did you look at the date on my link? It said that a lunar eclipse is coming up on Wednesday, October 27. That was last night. The article was dated Oct. 1, 2004. Last year's October 27 was a Monday. The corresponding Wednesday was October 29. It referred to last year's eclipse only in that we're being treated to two lunar eclipses in a year's time.

Okay, maybe lunar eclipses aren't "extremely" rare. But it's still rare enough in that it happens once every 720+ days by your recollection. And I still consider it rare in that you cannot always see it from every place on Earth, either. So while a part of one hemisphere may be able to enjoy, a big chunk of the remainder of the planet cannot. And, you've gotta admit, that even rarer is the fact that it was going to happen the night that the Sox could win the series. If that's not the stars aligning themselves, then nothing is.

Oh, and it doesn't really matter anymore anyway as the SOX HAVE WON IT!!!!

Not really. I have stated repeatedly that there is no way in hell I want to serve as the translator of someone who even manages to confuse himself (see the Halloween Costume thread). And I have stated it is nobody's dream job. Well, it's not my dream job, so, therefore, I am not nobody.

Ha Hah!

Remind me what NAIA is again? I know I've heard of it, but I'm drawing a blank.

I work at an NCAA D-III school and we've got a pretty solid athletics program. We've got a very well-respected baseball team as well as women's soccer, football (sometimes), and men's basketball.

Unfortunately, though, the minority which are ambulance chasers are very vocal and overexposed and ruin the perception of your profession. You gotta admit. It's sad, though, because I do believe that not all lawyers are bad.

Whoops again. You guys are right. He's 25. Even my article that I first posted said he's 25. I swore I read somewhere else that he was 19. Maybe it was a typo or a reference to someone else. But still, 25 is too young to make this a sequel. Figure that Reeve was somewhere in his 30s when he stopped the Supes flicks.

That's why sometimes you've gotta avoid the NCAA D-1 and go for games in the NCAA D-2 or D-3. D-1 is where most of the people that know they are going to the NBA will play so they get the greatest exposure. D-2 and D-3 schools still focus on academics (God forbid in this day and age) and athletics is second, but the passion is there no doubt.

I know, I know. This is Dayv's thread for reviews. But I want to put a plug out there for Super Size Me. Funny and highly informative documentary. The star/director/narrator/writer Morgan Spurlock makes this movie so much fun to watch despite how disgusting the facts are about what he's researching. Check it out.

Any royal can abdicate their throne. It's their right. Just because someone is born into royalty doesn't mean they want the responsibility of it. However, abdicating has some massive backlash in terms of its effects. The next in line becomes the leader/figurehead/etc. (if there is a next in line), you can not take it back no matter what, you are no longer eligible for royal inheritances, and other things as well. Abdicating is a very tricky thing and that is why you almost never see it happening.

And I still abdicate my position as translator. This is nobody's dream job.

My grades have been great throughout high school, undergrad, my master's program, and now with my MBA program. I'm better at public speaking than I was, but I'd prefer not to do it if I can. My wife is very good with practical application of what she knows. She learns from experience moreso than from a book. She is studying to become a pharmacist and she knows her stuff better than the managing pharmacist in her pharmacy. She does most of what he's supposed to do (simply because he's lazy). She keeps that pharmacy alive and well. But she's still afraid of having to take the classes and tests (especially her PCAT - the standardized test for her to enter pharmacy school). Honestly, with what she knows and does, they should just give her an honorary Pharm.D. degree. She knows it all.

Losing tonight wouldn't deflate them. It would energize them to epic proportions. They're on fire. So it's a non issue. I'm saying Red Sox in 4 now. However, even if they lose tonight, it will be in 5 for the Bosox. They won't let two go.

Bear in mind that tonight is a lunar eclipse. A very rare event indeed. So, pair that with a Red Sox win and you've got a helluva memorable evening.

GO SOX!

Sounds like us Cubs fans. No stadium gets filled quite like Wrigley. And to think that it happens 81 times in a season. That's pretty impressive. Lethe, you gotta admit that most NFL stadiums will come close to capacity regardless of how a team is doing simply due to the fact that the NFL plays so few games that people want to go. Okay, not all teams have this blessing or the Browns wouldn't have moved from Cleveland the first go round. But it does happen in a majority of stadiums. Hell, Soldier is jammed each week despite our pitiful playing. When I was there two Sundays ago, there wasn't an empty seat in the house. We suck.

Warbler, if it makes you feel any better, I'm kinda pulling for the Eagles to do well this season since the Bears have pretty much dished up all their games to opponents on silver platters. I guess it's because McNabb is a Chicago boy. Dammit. Gotta support them Chicagoans regardless of who they play for.

Whoops. Meant "Ashmore as Olson". My bad.

As for sequel, I'm not sure if it will be or not. Look at the age of Routh. The kid is 19 years old. I don't see how it can be a sequel. I think they might tackle early or lost years. Not follow-up years. Might be similar to the new Batman movie in its relative chronology.

Personally, I don't see this being the fault of lawyers. I see it being the fault of engineers. I have seen so many f'd up creations by modern engineers, it's not funny.

Funny sight I wish I had a picture of is a Taco Bell back in my college town that, once you've pulled around and placed your order, you wind up at the drive-thru window via the passenger side of your car. What do you do if you have no passenger? Some planning, eh? Not necessarily an engineer's fault here. More like a piss-poor architect, but I blamed it on engineering graduates from my school just to spite them.

Somehow, it just seems appropriate that the Bears become interested in a QB the Packers cut.

I have no idea how strong they are. Haven't heard too much rumbling about it amongst my Bears obsessed fans. Will check the Bears' site.

Just checked. Apparently they are not interested in him at all. Check it out.
