I agree. I think one thread is fine for the other rounds, but the World Series should stand by itself.

Couldn't happen to a nicer asshole. Maybe he should be frozen until a cure is found...

Just like he was "provoked" to spit in JJ Stokes' face? Just like he was "provoked" into hurling racial slurs at opposing players? Just like he was "provoked" into delivering illegal helmet-first tackles for years? Bah. Realize one thing, Johnson: Bill Romanowksi is a waste of sperm and egg. He's been a racist and a dirty player his entire career. ESPN showed a photo if Williams' face after the attack and it's quite gruesome. There's no reason Romo shouldn't pay his medical bills and then some, since it's Romo's fault that his face looks like a blasting zone. I despise Bill Romanowski, and I am sincerely glad for every piece of misfortune that's befallen him recently.

I don't think MLB needs a salary cap. Their system isn't perfect, but I also don't think forcing a level playing field is the answer, either. A salary cap punishes teams that have a history of success, and that's something I simply don't believe in doing. Players want to play for the Yankees for a reason: they have a long history of success. Why penalize them for that? I do, however, think there should be a minimum salary if the luxury tax leads to revenue sharing. Owners can simply pocket the money they get from the revenue sharing, and that's not right. Make them spend that money on the field. Tampa Bay having an $18m payroll is a goddamn joke. Spend some money. Speaking of the Yankees, the reason they have the money is because they own their own TV and radio networks. All the broadcasting revenue goes right to the team's coffers, instead of being split with the cable/radio stations.

Good. I hope he bleeds that piece of shit dry. The only bad part is that Romo wouldn't be able to remember going broke.

Obviously. He was an ex-Marine and a weightlifter, but definitely a pussy. Yep.

You're a cretin on two counts. 1. Roy was mauled by a tiger, not a lion. 2. I've known quite a few people who have owned pit bulls (yes, some have had kids) and never had one problem with them. The problem is people breed pit bulls as fighting dogs, but there's nothing at all wrong with the breed itself. Dobermans have had a history of turning on people, too, but pit bulls have become more publicized for it because the media love to report stories where a dog mauls a little kid.

I also don't recall making deadly chemical and biological agents in chemistry class. I was pretty good at chemistry, especially the lab, and I never cooked up a batch of Anthrax or VX.

The Blackout of 2003 The Blizzard of 96 Cal Ripken's 2130th and 2131st consecutive games The 1993 MLB All-Star game Several baseball and hockey playoff games Kurt Angle's house show debut And while I wasn't at either location hit on September 11th, I was at a large (and potentially quite targetable) Army installation, where unease at the day's events was running quite high.

A huge one. A manager should stick to his guns and not listen to his pitcher, who is of course going to insist he's perfectly fine to continue. There's no excuse for letting a player make a pitching non-change like that. If the Yankees end up winning this game, the blame should rest squarely on the shoulders of Grady Little.

Folks, realize that making jokes about things like the Holocaust aren't going to strike everyone as funny, even if you get a few good chuckles out of it. In fact, it's pretty likely to be rather unfunny to some people. This thread is closed, and I'd appreciate not seeing trifling garbage like it in CE in the future.

The spell-checker in MS Word.

I didn't even see his post when I made mine. But no, he's not as smart as me. None of you cretins are.

You figured out the square root of 520,000 without using a calculator? Color me impressed. Numeric approximation There you go. It's the same way I did the which-one-is-bigger problem. I'd get an answer that was quite close to being correct, and then look for the answer that was nearest it in value. One of my old math teachers gave me a good way to approximate square roots, and I've used that on the rare occasions I've actually had to do any work with square roots.

With my expert guidance, how could anyone have failed?

Perhaps the ritual slaughter and sacrifice of infants in occult rituals? Hell, I can't think of anything else. And what I thought of probably almost never happens.

Likewise. I actually had to think about it for a second, until the meaning of "incongruous," which is a word I like, came to mind. It's weird that I can still recall procedures and formulas, but forget a simple definition. Btw, I didn't use a calculator, either.

No offense ELM, but your grammers a little off. It should be: "Its correctly spelt, feud." No it shouldn't. You're using "its" to stand for "it is," as in, "It is correctly spelt... " ELM was absolutely correct. ...sighs... Tom, read his sentence. Its correct spelling is feud. <---that was his sentence. I changed his sentence to "Its correctly spelt, feud." As his was a little awkward and considering this is about grammer, that sentence is technically wrong. So hence, he wasn't correct. You correcting my sentence by making it "It is correctly spelt feud." Thus fixing up the err I made. So in the end, ELM was wrong, so was I, and you corrected both of us. See? No, I don't see. Newsflash: he was right. "Its correct spelling is... " Its, being a possessive, makes this read, "The correct spelling belonging to it is... " ELM's original sentence, which you needlessly corrected, was 100% correct. It might have been a little awkward, but there was certainly nothing wrong with it. But feel free to keep arguing with the fellow who has an English degree. BTW, it's "grammar," not "grammer," and you want "error," not "err." General advice to everyone: before you criticize or correct someone's grammar, make sure yours is bulletproof.

The only way around this is to give him a temporary name. If someone's name is "screenname" and they want "ScreenName," you have to change their name to something like "screenname1," then make it "ScreenName." It'll see that as a valid change both times.

I want mine in Turkish money, so I can say I'm a multimillionaire.

You'd better be prepared to write a lot of checks, Mole. "ScottKeith" has already been unmasked, not that it was every that hard to figure out who it was.

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick, that looks fucking time-consuming.

10/10 I was always pretty good at math.

If someone wants to die, they should be able to. It might be hard for parents to understand, but they should also respect their child's wishes. The various religious groups, general do-gooders, and politicians should stay out of the process. Jeb Bush can cram his legal research right up his ass.
