...human brain exploded in size about 2 million years ago, expanding from a peanut to the melon we have now. That could've only happened if humans were eating animal carcasses. But the first weapon only appeared 200,000 years ago, so for 1,800,000 years we were somehow acquiring dead animals without having a weapon to kill them. So the theory is that we ran animals to death...
...taken it upon themselves of late to lecture the rest of the world on the wonders of democracy. The great men of 17th century Britain knew better. Forever arguing, disputing, pamphleteering, they were tormented by their own imperfections and those of the messy designs upon which they somehow built a functioning state. Humility, admission of error, a recognition that no form of government is without fault or compromise - these are the values that democrats once avowed, and should do again...

Even the crickets would walk out. Somehow, though, people know that a Pixar movie is worth seeing, worth paying...
...failing to make the extra pass. It is not as easy to explain, however, why Harvard re-emerged from its locker room with a confident swagger, or why every shot during its halftime warm-ups fell cleanly into the goal. Whatever Delaney-Smith said to her squad, it somehow conjured the force in them. “We fell apart in the first half, rallied at halftime,” sophomore forward Jackie Alemany said. “We made certain goals to reach at certain times, and through tough defense and with Princeton getting lazy and arrogant, we shut...
...should Florida seem to be experiencing an especially high number of such cases? Are those women, and for that matter, the hormonally charged boys they target, somehow egged on by the state's more sexually relaxed atmosphere, with its sultry climate and scantily clad beach culture? (California also has a high rate of teacher sexual misconduct.) Or are Floridians simply reporting more cases like Hernandez's? It is a crime in Florida, as in most states, not to report such cases, but perhaps the tabloid publicity of the Lafave case has prodded Sunshine State denizens to be more vigilant...
