I got silver in weapons and gold in sparring! Everyone on the floor was at least 10 years my junior. So maybe I won't give up Tang Soo Do just yet...

Nadia Nadim fled Afghanistan when she was only 11 years old. Her father was killed by the Taliban regime. She escaped to Denmark with her mother and four sisters. Before that day, she had never seen another woman playing sports

Now, she is PSG's number 10, represents the Denmark national team and has scored more than 200 goals. She is also fluent in 11 languages. Last week she graduated as a medical doctor after 5 years of study while playing .

Survived a four hour Ran review. I was the oldest on the floor by 15 years and I kept up. I borked a toe, but a little tape later and I am golden. Ready for tournament tomorrow! Yes, I will sweep the leg!

Oh, you can keep Zeno's aging. Maybe not with the arrow, but definitely with the tortoise.

To reach 60 years old, you must first get to 59, then 59.9, then 59.99, then 59.999, then 59.9999, and so on.

As you can see, there's an infinite number of steps, so you "can't possibly" (says Zeno) reach 60..

Though, personally if I were going to do Zeno's aging, I'd probably start at 34.

This is not the time of my life when I want to reevaluate simple things. I am always open to change, but simple things seem to be the most difficult. And yet here I am. Seriously considering trading out karate for swimming and yoga. I am about to test for my second Dan and to go any higher, I need to instruct. I just don't think I have that in me.

Sir, I say, sir, I am just an old country theoretical mathematician. I don't cotton much to these fancy arguments. I reckon 60 - 20 = 40, and I ain't never met, I say, never met a 60 year old who lived infinity years.

Mayhap y'all do things differently o'er yonder, but 'round here we get old the reg'lar way: one year per year, and that's how we like it.

Gawd bless ya now, and lay off'n the cactus juice.

Spawn tells me Alaska is having the coldest summer in years while the rest of the world burns. Then he asks, "What did you do, witch?"

@jasod Null hypothesis: Aliens are no more likely to exist than the rage of Jehovah. Alternative hypothesis: Aliens are more likely to exist than the rage of Jehovah. Data: Various studies on current beliefs about God and aliens, survey data measuring current beliefs about the probability of aliens existing, astronomical data showing the likelihood of habitable planets, etc.

Just went bowling with my center at work. My buddy and I bowled a complete game in 13 mins. It was my highest score of the day (166). I am not a good bowler at all. I was proud!
