    Almost got bowled over by a guy running to make the elevator (mind you, I have my finger on the hold button the whole time).

    We get to my floor and he realizes he missed his.

    That laughter I'm stifling was at you, bro...

    One of my survival rules in DC was never run to an elevator, bus or Metro. Just not worth it, 90% of the time.

    Quote from Adam Driver in response to a question about his role in the upcoming Star Wars movie:

    "I play Jabba the Hutt's brother, Tim the Hutt. He has a drinking problem and can't find his car throughout the entire movie."
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I like Pizza the Hutt, he's edible.

    This is much more believable than Tim the Hutt
    Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt!

    An average bolt of positive lightning (from the top of a thunderstorm) may carry a current of 300 to 500 kiloamperes, transfer a charge of up to 300 coulombs, have a potential difference up to 1 gigavolt and may dissipate 300 GJ of energy (equivalent to 72 tons TNT, or enough energy to light a 100-watt light bulb for up to 95 years).

    1,000,000,000 volts. 500,000 amps. Humans are puny.
