Deepest Hole in the World
13 seconds of absolute freefall, starting at rest = 828.9 meters. That's an upper bound on the depth of the hole in this video. Surely the rock loses some speed from air resistance and audible collisions with the wall, so the hole is shallower than 828 meters.

Tom Mabe funny phone call
He would only get in trouble if the telemarketer complained to the cops. I'm sure the jury would make an exception in this situation, though.

Obama and McCain: What do we do about evil?
"Does evil exist, and if it does, do we ignore it, do we negotiate with it, do we contain it, do we defeat it?"

That's such a simple-minded question. The word evil connotes a conflation of many separate problems. Most of these problems are far more complicated than simply being susceptible to McCain's brute force. You can't negotiate with an abstract staw-man, but you can negotiate with most people who have done harm. Obama gave a satisfactory answer.

Adorable Snoring Kitten
15 seconds of that is enough cuteness for a day. I don't think I can handle the full minute.

Milton Friedman on Education
How would we know, with your proposed system, if the externalities overshadow, and relegate the educational methodology to statistical irrelevance?


Stratify the statistics. For example, for several ranges of scores, compute the average improvement over X years for students who entered the school in that range of scores. This would expose whether the school specializes in catering to a particular range of students.

Obama - "It's like these guys take pride in being ignorant"
Prisons guarantee that their inmates won't starve to death, and provide inmates with basic medical care. It seems to me that, to avoid providing an incentive for poor people to commit crimes, law abiding citizens should get a better deal than criminals. If there is no welfare, then the poorest of the poor are practically rewarded for committing crimes, by being sent to prison where they will get free food, shelter, and medical care. That is why there should still be a welfare system.

Armed store robber taken down by customer in Tulsa
The guy in this video had a 25 year sentence in 1987, so he must have got out on parole at least 5 years early.

Vice President Cheney Implicated In Forgery
>> ^Raverman:
If they can try to impeach clinton for a blowjob, How many Lies from the administration are needed before someone does something?


The thing is, they weren't under oath when they lied, because everybody in the Bush Administration refuses to testify under oath, even if it means ignoring a congressional subpoena. And only a few democratic congressmen have the balls to support handing out the proper punishment for refusing to testify, which is a contempt of congress citation. There are plenty of other grounds for impeachment, though.
