    What is a real life fact that blows your mind?

    The Ottoman Empire still existed the last time the Cubs won a World Series.

    What is a real life fact that blows your mind?

    You're right that two of the main reasons we have no. t been back is because of budget and a "been there, done that" attitude. But the really significant reason is the shift in goals. The next logical step was deep space exploration or building a lunar base so when Apollo was cancelled...

    What is a real life fact that blows your mind?

    Okay, I'm not a physicist, but I do design lights for the theatre. It is true that a blue shirt is reflecting blue light and absorbing the rest of the spectrum. That's why mixing color with paint is considered subtractive and mixing with light is additive. The primary colors in light are...

    What is a real life fact that blows your mind?

    Each "car" at Walt Disney's ride Test Track had more computing power than the entire Space Shuttle. The airplane in the Great Movie Ride in Disney's Hollywood Studio for the Casablanca scene was owned by MGM when the film was shot and was likely used in the film. Although it wasn't used in...

    Ice on Campus

    There used to be a Hardees on Welch that had a glass atrium in the front. Every time there was slick conditions my friends and I would go eat there and watch all the people and cars sliding around.

    Team Based Road Rage

    I just want to know if others experience this as well... So, I'm driving home today, I reach an intersection where a driver was in the left turn lane but obviously figured out that they needed to go straight. They were halfway between the lanes and I notice they have a red licence plate frame...

    Have you ever walked out of a movie?

    I remember seeing Avenue Q at the Civic Center and noticed a few families that brought children. We were betting the over/under on how long it would take for them to leave the show.

    Students Cutting in Line / Entering Hilton Coliseum

    That system was used well into the 80's. I'm dating myself (and maybe embarrassing myself) but I was camping out for the last concert before tickets were sold by TicketMaster (Huey Lewis and the News). When you showed up you got a numbered ticket, they would randomly come out with a different...

    Does this team have a weakness?

    I agree that free throws are a problem. Was it Eustachy that used to end practice by making the team sink 10 free throws in a row before they could go to the showers? I thought that was a great way of simulating game day pressure.

    Does this team have a weakness?

    We've struggled with UM and UI at home. We struggled with BYU on the road. We struggled with UNI on a neutral court. I'm asking this as an honest question, hoping people with a higher basketball IQ can tell me more about this team. They are 8-0 (and I'm as happy as anyone about that) but they...

    Camping out for the Iowa game

    Okay, I'm sitting here in Urbandale waiting for this game with nothing to do for the next 7 hours (I don't have tickets and I don't have to work today). Anyone in that line want something? Name it (within reason) and I'll bring it (help me to burn time)!
