Olbermann’s special comment on heath care politics

Dave and I were sitting in the back yard of the cabin on Cape Cod, having a beer and watching something get cooked on the grill. Dave was an architectural engineer, and the cabin was in an interior location probably in Dennis or Harwich (can’t remember … I spent a lot of time in cabins on Cape Cod doing archeology and stuff) and we were so close to the town water tower that we had to crane our neck back to read it.

So I said to Dave, “If that sucker fell over in our direction, we’d get wet. And dead.”

Dave said, “No way, man. Big things like that don’t fall over. They fall down. There is no over. Trust me. I’m an architectural engineer, I know what I’m talking about.”

So ever since then, I’ve never worried that much being near, but not under, a big giant thing. But now, I know Dave was full of shit:

Photo Synthesis is a rotating showcase of the best science photography on the web….

B.N. (Bobbie) Sullivan has a strong affinity for the sea and everything in it. She first learned to dive in 1970 and has since logged thousands of dives. A wish to document the marine life she encountered prompted her to learn underwater photography more than 20 years ago. More recently, she began to write about the marine life she has photographed. A research psychologist by profession, she approaches her subject matter with the mindset of a scientist, but targets her writing to a general readership in whom she hopes to foster an appreciation for the ocean and its inhabitants.

We all know that Peeps are light, fluffy, and filled with air. This of course begs the question, “What happens to Peeps in a vacuum?” (Surely you were about to ask the same thing, right?)
