@mcfate yeah Ad Age will do it for him. Fork time.

Pythagoras ('s school?) discovered some cool maths but the famous theorem wasn't among them.

Used to see a couple mourning doves and now I count a herd of 6. Some are tiny. Mitosis?

@brainwise in their defense those are fun to wear/drive

@corlin Epic CEO really not epic. Maybe he got giddy when Fortnite got popular? Too much hiring and this short-lived acquisition. For much lose.

@ACG2 @northernbassist yes and no. I'm no authority on this. Some parts were bigger, engine block itself tended to be more massive. There also was often a lot of empty space in there. I could just about fit my whole self under the hood of a 65 F100, made it easy to work on.
