Trump as Farquad
An accurate quote would be...
"Some of you may die...
But that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make."
- President Donald Farquaad

I take it then, that it pays to do your own research?

My dad's New balance collection, organized from going out in public to mowing the lawn.
Well, there's light colored and then there's light colored,
and there's clean and then there's clean.
In my neighborhood growing up, new clean white sneakers were instantly stomped on... you know, to help break them in for you.
With suggested colors too.

Tied for first place in the red-shirt survival
That's what I'm saying...
with maybe a couple of exceptions.
Three, including Picard...
but then again no red shirts die in Next Generation.
You'll never guess what my favorite Star Trek color is...

In this historic lecture, renowned paleoanthropologist Mary Leakey explores the history and significance of the discoveries at Oldupai Gorge.
Holy crap!

Homo sapiens last shared a common ancestor with Neanderthals somewhere between 600,000 and 800,000 years ago, though the exact date of the split is debated.

Analysis suggests female Homo sapiens and male Neanderthals mated more often than male H. sapiens and female Neanderthals
Now the question is, why?
Male Neanderthals tended to pair up with female modern humans, but whether intercourse was consensual is unclear 🏺🧪

Kermit: From the latest Rasmussen survey: "Voters trust Trump more than the media." Trump: Ta-Da!
Agree. "Small (and independent) is beautiful".
There's something to that.
CNN... Certainly Not News
Wow, they're beautiful and plentiful!
Nice work, Jonathan.
The truth...
The sad depressing truth.
