Oh, man – the government helping poor people get access to phones?! Welfare recipients no less? The world is ending! Poor people shouldn't have phones! They should be getting jobs by pounding the pavement and doing phone interviews via bootstrap.

'The process of U.S. disentanglement from Iraq has been gradual, generating no big headlines, no "Obama brings 22,000 troops out of Iraq, cuts war spending by $30 billion." But, in fact, troop levels are down to about 120,000 from 142,000 early this year, and spending on the war has fallen, from $180 billion in 2008 to $150 billion this year.'

All of the labyrinths in Zelda can be fit into one big rectangle. Probably coincidence, but neat-looking, anyway.

'Weight cutting is just a part of the sport and as with all sports known to mankind, people will try to push the envelope to get any edge possible. No matter what rules you put in, people will try to push it. The governing body for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments, for example, uses a system where you weigh-in right before your matches. I’m seeing more and more people with sauna suits on before their matches and while the intent of the rule is to level the playing field, again, people will try to find that edge.'
I still think weighing in right before you fight helps. The sauna suit can't do that much for you, and you still waste much less time and energy on cutting weight.
