    "Sinister" is Latin, and took on the meaning of "unlucky" or "evil" in the early Christian era. Until then, it simply meant..."left."

     

    So left-handed people are literally sinister. You ignorant hick.

    I knew the etymology of "sinister". Duh.

     

    Fortunately many of the 50 states are no longer living in the early Christian era, hence we no longer call children evil based on their handedness.

     

    Children are evil based on their other behaviors.

     

    You idiot.

     

     

    (PS, I am dexterous.)

  2. This tidbit jumped out at me:

    Watkins beat fellow rookie Bradley Roby off the line of scrimmage, but didn't show good field awareness by letting Roby come back and strip the ball.

     

    It was Roby's fumble recovery last night that won it for Denver. Guy has good ball awareness -- they should block the crap out of him.

  3. Wasn't the "mouth head" from Alien inspired by the starfish? lol...something like that.

    Probably. But at least the Xenomorph had the good grace to keep its friggin' internal organs inside itself.

     

     

    Had lunch last week at a new Italian restaurant in the area. Been there a few times now. Easily the best Italian food in St Augustine. Anyway, my buddy ordered the Octopus salad. I tried some. Freakin' delicious!

    I think the first time I had octopus was when I ordered one at some Greek restaurant in Tarpon Springs (a community largely founded by Greek fishermen, as I heard it).

    Grilled whole, and served with lemon wedges that you squeeze the juice over the 'pod. Fantastic.

    I've eaten octopus, its like chewing an eraser.

    You're doing it wrong.
