Oh please, if Quebec is leaving Canada to go anywhere else, they're going to France. That's like, so much a Quebec stereotype even an American like me would know that.

[Omnithea]

America's not asking. But don't worry. Every new state gets overpaid teams of athletes to represent them in sports only Americans care about.

Puerto Rico has universal healthcare? I'm sure that that won't last long if it becomes a state.

[Guyperson]

Doesn't Hawaii have healthcare despite being a state?

[Ersatz]

Doesn't Hawaii have healthcare despite being a state?

Doesn't Massachusetts have universal healthcare because of Mitt Romney?

[Lambeth]

Yeah the federal government isn't gonna barge in and take away their healthcare.

If I am reading this right, they still don't know what happened?

[Dr. K Sanesk]

Looks like the three biggest suspicions are gas leak, meth lab, or a straight-up bomb.

[Turbro]

I thought that they had ruled out meth lab in the article though?

Deputy Fire Chief Kenny Bacon told reporters Sunday investigators haven't eliminated any possible causes for the blast. But U.S. Rep. Andre Carson, who represents the area, said he had been told a bomb or meth lab explosion had been ruled out.

[Mr. Mander]

Considering the house apparently belonged to a teacher, yeah, I'd rule out meth lab, but honestly, I'd say it was a bomb from the look of the explosion. I don't know how just a home gas system could cause an explosion of that magnitude. I'm not well-educated on those things so I may be wrong.

So Venice is/was underwater. Some pretty interesting pics resulted.








If the water is such a big problem... then how did she get to the bench in the first place?

Oh dang, I misread that as those being the two most likely options.
My bad.

Venice is always underwater, that's why it's so famous.

[Exeres]

From what I hear about the water in Venice, anyone who gets within five feet of it becomes the carrier of every bacterial infection imaginable, plus a few that haven't been discovered yet.
