Think of "going bananas" in the sense of taking temporary leave of one's faculties.

Re: Dr Ben Carson - Post 2016 Election

The bananas are more to the point than the chocolate content, if any. The waffle part is obvious. I used to have a high opinion of Dr. Carson. Perhaps that can be restored someday. But I think he has made a lot of questionable decisions in the last few months, and this seems like a continuation of t...

Re: Credible News Sources

And now a quick quiz: did the East German Trabbi (Trabant) have a fuel injector or a carburetor? Gravity-fed two-cycle, eh? Interesting. I've seen the Trabi Safari putting around Berlin and thought that would be fun to do sometime. Especially in the zebra. 8-) According to a credible source: A Trab...

Re: American Sign Language software

Since OO acceptance of smart phones is all over the map (literally; by district), this may or may not be an obviously feasible solution. However, the Ami...
