    • It's been 30 years and I still can't get over the fact that the French word for "potatoes" is "ground apples." Have The French never had an apple?

  • Here's how the creation of the graphic went:

    • Create a binary
    • Ignore vast majority (of people working with subject)
    • slap together chart, cherrypicking

    • How come people like Cosby and Weinstein seem decrpit appearing before a judge or jury? Cosby could barely walk and W had to use a walker. Why do this because it doesn't influence anyone?
