Throwball Playoffs AFC Championship: Titans @ Chiefs
Hard to believe, but it’s true, there used to be a whole other Throwball League called the American Football League that got swallowed up by the NFL and that’s why we have two Conferences today.

Oh, That Space Force
The one that isn’t actually, you know, in space. Broadly defined space starts with the Thermosphere which is the layer of atmosphere between 53 and 621 miles high.

Synchronicity. I was just talking with TMC about Asbestos and Serpentine Rock (for the uninitiate Serpentine forms a substantial amount of the bedrock of New York City because it’s tough and laughs at Glaciers, it’s also loaded with Asbestos and requires special precautions when working with it, Asbestosis and Mesothelioma are not good ways to …
