I looked at at crime rates in American cities in 2012. The highest was in Flint, Michigan, which still has a lead pipe problem.

The Romans ate off of lead plates and enjoyed watching gladiators fight, women being raped by animals and other atrocities in the Coliseum. I’ve read dissertations that perpetuated the idea that lead poisoning was a major factor in this cultural phenomenon.

I was born in 1971 and grew up breathing lead fumes in a large city. Yes, I believe leaded gasoline and lead paint have been a serious problem.

I thought my parents were cold.

Why isn’t he orange?

Wasn’t this from the Original Series? I thought it was the dummy they discovered on the First Federation ship. (I could be wrong, of course.)

Oh, c’mon, Janeway wouldn’t have done anything so cruel unless they were trapped in the Gamma quadrant for at least another month.

My mother used to say “If wishes were horses,” and I had no idea where that came from. I didn’t get internet until after her death in 2001. I looked up that saying and the complete version is, " If wishes were horses then beggars would ride. " Apparently, it’s a very old saying so I guess adults weren’t always gross.

Oh, the poor gerbil!

Just so long as you leave after eating that many eggs.

The “Rex” in T-Rex means “king” in Latin. Therefore, the female T-Rex’s name should be Regina, which means “Queen” in Latin.

You know what you need to do --end the relationship. It’s only going to get worse. Never let someone abuse you if you don’t absolutely have to. There might be times that you’ll miss her but someone like that will escalate their abuse if you endure it.

Oddly enough, that was my first thought too.

I would still name him Jeremiah.

It’s a common thing in this house. Both my roommate and myself do it. I’m a frequent midnight snacker. Roommate’s son isn’t though. It’s weird to me that you’ve never known anyone who doesn’t. Maybe it’s an American thing. I don’t know.

Claudish: This is a hard stop: cry havoc, and release the dogs of war.

Indeed it is, Claude.

Just look at them. They already are an empanada filling.

When I was 11, I was annoying my mom a lot so naturally, she lunged at me with a butchers knife.

When I was 16, she beat me in the head with her fists.

I’m 55 now and she died when I was 30. You know what’s weird? I wish she had stabbed me when I was 11. She would have had to explain that. Then again, if someone had seen her threaten me for once. My half-sister saw her beat me in the head with her fists and Mama suffered no consequences so she probably wouldn’t have then either.

GASP!! Why, the nerve of that guy!

Hell yeah! It would be a vast improvement.

You’d ban Jerrys but not Donalds?

I’ve never met a Don or Donald that was a nice person. Seriously. And I’m old.
