    When you're talking like 0.0000000000001 of the population, you're pretty much talking about no one.

    Remember Sir Edmund Hillary wasn’t alone on that fateful day in 1953, he was with Nepalese Sherpa Tenzing Norga when he summited Everest

    I guess the fact you’re here to tell us about it is proof enough.

    You can't fool mother nature.

    Passion or serendipity is interdependant on the relatedness of motivation, subcultures, and management.

    If she believes there are a nature or a mother that arise independently of everything else, then definitely

    You obviously have never met her, but go ahead and keep trying to tell her how to think. She finds it hilarious.

    One African tribe wryly describes the human condition insisting that, "Mother Nature's love is irresistible, but she has a wicked sense of humor!"

    NPR is sponsored by Disney and Netflix

    I learned this because they slipped in several references to Netflix and Disney this morning and they're required to mention that they're sponsors everytime they mention them

    RIP independent media

    LOL, tribal people often don't have words for things like greed, and this tribe believes anyone can talk to mother nature at any time, because she is just another member of their tribe.

    The best thing to do when you know a head-on crash in your car is inevitable is to cross your arms across your chest and pick your feet up to slightly bend your knees toward you. You allow the airbag and seatbelt to do their job. You'll still likely have injuries, but injuries that you woukd have had anyway, minus extra broken bones in your arms and legs (from trying to brace yourself). I just hope I can think that fast.

    US passports for adults are only good for 10 years, under 16 they are only good for five years.

    I recommend keeping them up to date these days.

    Best thing to do when you know a head on crash is inevitable is move your car out of the way

    At 60 km/hr you are travelling at 16.6 metres a second, about the length of a bus.

    Best reaction time for fighter pilots is 1 second, ordinary people 1.5 seconds.

    Youd have no chance of thinking of crossing your arms in time
