TIL a stroke suffering cat owner tried to teach his cat to press a 911 speed dial. Unsure whether the training stuck, the owner later fell from his wheel chair during a seizure. Police received a silent 911 call from the house and arrived to find the man incapacitated and the cat by the phone.
What you meant to say was, "Wow! I had heard about it, but never that it can fully dilate its pupils." For that, you are welcome.
Let me tell you a great story my friend about the devil never to be seen in Wales again. Enjoy Haliwr. ... around the IIth Century, the Devil visited Wales as he had never been there before and he had heard that the scenery was breathtaking. He soon came across an old lady who seemed upset. "What's the matter?" he asked out of curiosity. "Oh, I'm in such a terrible muddle and I don't know what to do!. My cow has wandered across the river and I can't get her back". 'Ah!" said the Devil 'What you need my dear, is a bridge, and I am just the man to build you one. Why don't you go home, and in the morning there will be a bridge waiting for you. All I ask in return is to keep the first living thing to cross the bridge!" "Okay then" she said "It's a bargain. I'll see you in the morning. Nos da, Goodnight" That night she wondered about this stranger who would build her a bridge. 'What a strange request! Why should I cross the bridge to get my cow back if he gets to keep me in exchange? Mind you it is very tempting offer" The next day she got up and called for her faithful dog. Together they went down to the river. "Well well" she couldn't believe her eyes. In front of her was the best bridge that she had ever seen! I told you that I would build you a bridge" said the Devil appearing from nowhere. "Now it's your turn to keep your side of the bargain". I know, you get to keep the first living thing to cross the bridge" and she started to walk towards the bridge. But just when she got to the entrance, she stopped, took out a loaf of bread from her apron pocket and hurled it across the bridge. As quick as a flash and before the Devil could stop it, the dog chased after it. 'Aaaaaaagh!!!!!" screeched the Devil. "You stupid old woman, I don't believe it! Your smelly, hairy farm dog has become the first living thing to cross my bridge. It's no good to me" he screamed and then he vanished. Well, the Devil was never seen in Wales again as he was so embarrassed at being outwitted by the old lady. High in the mountains near Aberystwyth, there is a village where a very old bridge crosses a deep gorge. Above it are two other bridges built at later dates. But the lowest one....Well, they say that the Devil himself built it!
TIL the circumstances surrounding Layne Staley's death. I knew when he died and that it was drug related, but I didn't know more than that. I read that because of this re: Audioslave
One of the victims in the 1986 Edmond, OK post office shooting (where the term "going postal" originated) was Knute Rockne's grandson.

Thanks to reddit, this is pretty random/neat/wild. Oglethorpe University in Atlanta has a sealed room not to be opened for another 6 thousand years. Basically I time capsule. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypt_of_Civilization#oo
I was long time greenboard, then a brief period with greyboard where I just didn't change it, then errors after the crash got me to try blueboard and that's where I reside currently.

iirc there was a year or two where Vidal was in the same receiving corps with Patrick Turner, Ronald Johnson, and David Ausberry...with Jordan Cameron playing TE. Good Lord
One of my old roommates is her cousin. I tried like the devil to get her over to our place for a party but it never worked out. She was dating Pete at the time.
That is the dream for some of those guys though. 6 figure paycheck, only a couple of practices a week without the high injury risk and stress of game on the weekend.
