QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 16, 2010 -> 01:53 AM) As a man who sucks at cooking and beyond most men everywhere (minus the pansies...er...cookers though I'm making fun of one of my best friends too, since he is quite the cook) I'll be the first to congratulate. I rarely cook, but when I do I am actually quite good. It's actually a skill that is pretty nice to have.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 16, 2010 -> 09:19 AM) I pre-ordered from Gamestop only because that's what I always do... the add-ons don't really matter to me. Same. I do all my video game business with Game Stop. I have an account there and frequently return games so I usually just buy stuff there too, its easy and most convenient for me. Don't care too much about the pre-order add-ons so I stuck with Game Stop.

You said you aren't into museums and stuff but if you are in Paris the Louvre is pretty much a must do. Also, avoid Brussels, it's a waste of time. If you are set on going to Belgium visit Bruges or Antwerp. Personally, i'd just spend that extra day in the Netherlands or France instead however.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 14, 2010 -> 03:36 PM) The abbreviation for Sacrifice Bunt is the same as the abbreviation for Stolen Base, so if you want to compile them all, you need to change at least 1 of those abbreviations. That's why they use SAC

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ May 14, 2010 -> 03:10 PM) What is a "sacrifice hit"? It is an oxymoronic expression. It's a sac bunt.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ May 14, 2010 -> 03:05 PM) 3 Are designed primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group. What does this mean exactly? Is Hispanic history only for Hispanics? Is black history only for blacks? Isn't this purely subjective? Great point. At UIC, I took African American History since 1865. I'm not African American and neither was the teacher. Is it wrong to divide history up to teach it? You could divide it by time period, gender, race, religion, location (co/state). What about literature. Is a Women's lit class wrong? What about a Hispanic Lit class? I took an early African history class (basically everything until about 1600 and not in Egypt) and the teacher was this 5 foot nothing pale, white haired old white woman who apparently studied in North Africa for years. Good class. Woman was crazy though.

I wouldnt mind trying to get Taylor Tankersley and seeing if "Coop can fix him". He had a great arm, and is a lefty, before his injury a couple years back. He's still young too.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 13, 2010 -> 04:03 PM) Watched In Bruges last night...loved it. Yeah it was really good. And if you are ever in Belgium, that's where you should go, not Brussels.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 13, 2010 -> 11:27 AM) I thought Adam and Eve were initially Rose and her husband from many many episodes ago. Speaking of whom, are they still alive?

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ May 13, 2010 -> 10:14 AM) It just goes to show you defense is never a priority in this organization. They try to churn out as many DH/1B as possible. This post makes no sense.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 12, 2010 -> 10:39 PM) Adieu for Adu? He's only 20. I doubt he'll ever be a star but he still has time to develop and possibly become a regular contributor. It's good he's playing in a lower level now so he can actually develop instead of sitting on the bench of a larger club and barely play like he did with Benfica and Monaco.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 12, 2010 -> 10:34 AM) Until you stop going 1-5 against teams like Cleveland then there's no reason to score board watch right now. I agree. Obviously I root for Minnesota and Detroit to lose every day but right now it's the middle of May and we can't even win back to back games. At this point it's about the Sox winning and if they do so regularly enough then I'll focus more on what the other teams in our division are doing day to day. Because if the Sox don't start winning, what Minny and Detroit do is irrelevant.

Well that was a quick inning

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 12, 2010 -> 01:28 PM) Polynesians were exploring the Pacific in the late BCE (ie 300 BCE-0BCE), but the people on the island looked more like germanic europeans than asian or even mediterranian. There are fringe theories about the Phoenecians doing a great bit of seafaring but they are not commonly accepted.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 12, 2010 -> 01:05 PM) But the island can move. Maybe it was somewhere else back then. Good point.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 12, 2010 -> 12:05 PM) I completely agree I have a feeling there will be more about this in the last 3.5 hours. If not her specifically, the islands origin. Odds are they were not the FIRST, but they were the most recent. However, if they are of Egyptian origin, then they well may be the first as there wasnt much sea travel before that. My belief is no. Who is to be determined. There's really no evidence that the Egyptians ever explored that part of the world though.
