Ah, yes, Doge. Started as a joke, intended as a joke. Still is -- but comedians can be really well-paid if they get popular.
Okay, who's going to be the first one to do an extended-spectrum study on toned coins? Those thin films ought to start absorbing shortwave UV long...
There's ongoing argument over whether acetone can discolor copper, which is fairly non-reactive. The general consensus seems to be that if you get...
You mean through the slits in our bunkers? ;) I'm all about the future, and where we (humanity, not any particular country) can take ourselves. I...
But they consume a lot of money for maintenance and fuel that could instead be building the Cat Hoard! I'm sure V8s won't disappear. After all,...
