Do you mean the lightening?
I was sitting inside looking out over the monitor. Quite impressive for the coast. I heard substation north was taken out.

At age 67, I feel my brain is younger, more vibrant now than it was 20 years ago. There is a reason for this, and it's due to alcohol. I drink in moderation, and this has really helped my brain. It's kind of like a herd of buffalo thundering across the tundra. The youngest, strongest buffalo are at the head of the herd, the weakest, oldest, sickest buffalo are straggling, running at the back and just barely hanging on. What buffalo does the wolf go after and kill? The youngest, strongest? No! The weakest, sickest, the oldest. Same thing with the brain. The brain has strong, vibrant cells and weak, sick old cells. Alcohol, like the wolf, doesn't attack the strongest, youngest cells. Alcohol attacks and kills the weakest cells, leaving the strongest cells to survive and prosper. Therefore, at age 67, the more alcohol I drink, the smarter I get. ;-)

Hard to argue with logic like that. :)

i've heard of people trying to justify their alcohol abuse, but this is quite the attempt. dude, you don't need to justify it. trust me.

Next time I'll just give the answer.

Yup, 128 got the answer right using order of operations. I got the same answer so basically you won't be born for another 181 years. We'll try to make sure there's a future for you to be born in, but no promises.

BTW, 1968 was a very fine year. I'm just saying...

I'm 24, and where I come from, we would say either "how old yall is?" or "how old are you'ze".

Order of operations; established. Got it.

Thankfully college algebra was a course I passed long enough ago that I don't have to remember any of it.

Surprising (the median, not your age).

Were I a gambling man, I would've pushed my chips at the mid-20s.

Surprising, but also strangely comforting.

Um, a couple of flaws:

1) The weaker are typically in the center of the herd - the stronger ones circle around them to keep them safe.
2) You assume that alcohol has some level of intelligence and chooses the weaker cells. As far as I know, alcohol isn't all that smart.
