Check out Malcolm Gladwell's book "Outliars" for a bunch of interesting facts about billionaires and normal folks who are successful. Most pro hockey players, for example, are born in the first three months of the year.
Well worth the read!

Great sculpture ... lousy motorcycle.
Wouldn't it actually be a "Panther" rather than a "Jaguar"? There is a fine tradition of Panther motorcycles from after WWII ... maybe even still available.

Hi ... I'm Lauch in Vancouver, BC. Just retired at 57 ... 'usta check the site every day at work, and now I check it most days at home. FYI: I follow a lot of the links to their source pages and enjoy them, too.

I've left a few comments, maybe 5 or 6.

Setting pins was my first job in the early 60's. I worked at a three lane, five-pin, alley, usually with one other person. We were paid a cent and a half for each line (game), and later got a raise to two cents. On league bowling nites, I'd work from seven to ten for maybe a dollar and a half.
Many men at that time thought that it was quite macho to choose a small ball and loft it at least halfway down the lane ... some were good bowlers, and they could make the pins fly, so it was important to make sure your legs were totally out of the pit. Even so, you couldn't work a whole evening without taking a few knockout pins at full speed, usually below the knee. You always had to keep your wits about you because occassionally, a headpin would fly up three or four feet, directly at your face.
I was 11 or 12 years old at that time ... they wouldn't allow anyone to work in that situation, today, I'm sure, but I think it was a good experience and I was grateful for the pocket money.

Maimed animals are doomed to a cruel death. I don't approve of this technique ... I don't find it funny ... and I can't support propagation of this video on Neatorama or other sites.

"among" refers to a group ... "between" refers to two.
