Just after he took office for the second time in 1893, Grover Cleveland had a team of surgeons remove a cancerous tumor in his mouth, along with some of his upper jaw and teeth, onboard a moving yacht in the middle of the Atlantic. He somehow lived.

And who cares what he thinks? It would be a bit like me saying “And Ricardolino, who is Portuguese, said on SLP.com that public sympathy for Salazar was less towards the end of his government than is commonly believed.” Regardless of whether it be true or not, do you have the credentials to make...

Or to put it another way: when communism comes to America, it’ll be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.

And I read the first two paragraphs. ... And I thought I used adverbs too much.

Well, of course it’s going to be awful, but we are all going to live to see it... well, provided no one kills themselves first rather than be in the same world as it.

I suspect that the virtual nature of media is going to blast all notions of how long a book/epic/trilogy/series should be completely out of the water. When a gigabyte of hard drive space translates to about 180 million words (assuming 8 bits per character, six characters per word on average, 1...

I also wonder how much the physical placement in the book of the last word matters as well. I first read 1984 in my freshman year of high school (so year 10 for you all?) in the free moments between classes and after class waiting for the bus. Now I approached the end of the book on a warm...

Sorry for putting you in an uncomfortable position like that. But yeah, I fully, freely, and completely hand these ideas over to you for your use and benefit, and give up all claims to any credit or compensation for their use. The happiness and confidence I would derive from any element being...

This is sounding like an idea that has burst its boundaries and is rampaging out of control. The logical thing then is to pile more upon it! Some ideas for characters that have been coming to mind:* A general who worships Napoleon (no seriously, there’s an altar and rituals and good lord is...

It’s a shame though, it is so pretty an image that it makes me want to solve that problem. Give me a moment... Edit: I am an idiot, the distance would just be the height multiplied by tan(theta). I really should go eat something...

I’ll confess that your solution seemed strange at first, but I got the same result. The only thing that is a bit off is the first graphic. It looks as though you were trying to outline a problem where the plane is the meeting point between the two triangles, rather than at the circumference of...

I am crying with laughter here.
