I'd be most happy to sit and watch the game without the uniforms.

Sheesh!

If that were the case, I think we'd see a lot more center snap fumbles, especially in cold weather games...

Oh my gosh, I forgot about cold weather.

Not to be a timmy, but one would think there would be more fumbles in warm weather. Shrinkage and all.

That makes sense - we focus on biotech. And even that seems to be more closely related to clinical uses than it was a few years ago, when any old piece of DNA was enough to launch a company.
Apropos of nothing, NPR this morning had a story about Russian scientists digging up some 20,000 year old dirt in the Siberian permafrost and scanning it for DNA. They found, to their vast surprise, bison, wooly mammoth, and other animal DNA suggesting that the area was vibrant with life prior to the last ice age.

Jeepers! So, any bets on how long it will be before these animals are cloned and brought to term?

I can see the headlines now, "Bessie the Cow gives birth to fraternal twins: a Banteng and a Wooly Mammoth." And later, "Mammoth accidentally pummels Banteng in sibling rivalry gone awry."

Now, if we could get these scientists to make us something useful, like bold new mixed drinks....

I'm glad to hear that was a trivia lesson; I was worried it was one of those parables about the tech industry that East Coasters are so fond of these days.

That's tomorrow's lesson, where scientists will report the further discovery that in the same soil sample were recovered fragments of an early model Apple Newton.

. . . Although the researchers stress that their conclusions are tentative and they still have considerable work to do, it appears that many of these species had recorded their genetic material on napkins. . . .

They are terminating the plan and charging the people to terminate it? Seriously?

OK, here's the truth. A friend of mine tells me "You're not a woman at all, you're a gay man in a woman's body." Translated, this means that, while I am occasionally bitchy and love a good rant, I am only angry at my mother ("Well, dear. Wouldn't you be happier if you were MARRIED?"). I have never had a mullet (even in a biblical sense) and the man part we have already settled. But we're treading on FB subject matter again, aren't we?

Brobeck is doing the same thing--prior to dissolving, the firm would have eaten the costs. If you ever leave a firm be sure to take your 401(k) with you.

Poster Deletion
 
Please note that the poster known as Schouten66 was recently deleted due to several violations of the TOS and despite several written warnings to ceast and desist his actions.

This Board was founded specifically because of [apparent] arbitrary deletions of posters and content in other forums, and we specifically do not ever want for that to be the case here.

However, there are certain rules we all must adhere to. In most, if not all, instances, fair warning will be privately delivered to anyone that violates these rules - with the hope that they remedy the situation and remain a vital part of this community.

If anyone has any additional questions or policy concerns, please feel free to PM any of me, Leagl or Tyrone.

Thanks,

Well, the firm is dissolving. And it's perfectly fine to use fees from the remaining members of the plan if the plan documents had said it was. Bottom line, make sure you read through such documents so you don't get any nasty surprises.
