Passing:
Aaron Murray - 10-15 – 125 yards, 1 TD, 40 long, INT
Logan Gray - 6-14, INT 37, long of 12, 3 sacks
Zach Mettenberger - 7-10, 157 yards, TD, long of 45, 2 sacks
I think it is safe to say that Logan Gray will keep fielding punts this year…

Eggrolls are Irish, right?
My mother in law (who is Korean) left some of her fantastic egg rolls for me to fry up. Nothing like a cold Stout and a plate of freshly fried egg rolls. Especially hers - they are the best!

That game show electrocution-thing was based on a study by Stanley Milgram in the 1960’s.
To save you the reading, about 2/3 people (originally studied in America) will/would shock a stranger TO DEATH if an authority figure told them to. In Germany, the figure was closer to 4/5.

Researchers Urge Government To Levy Tax On Pizza →
Instead of punishing (for eating crap) with a tax, why not reward (for exercising) with a tax break? Oh, right because the issue is NOT to get people to lose weight it is to grab more money from the people.

South Pol: I blame the horrors of social justice →
In Britain, only 8 percent of the population is Catholic (compared with 25 percent in the United States). Abortion there is legal. Abortion is free. And yet British women have fewer abortions than Americans do. I asked Cardinal Hume why that is.

Things I can't grasp
There are some things that I just have a hard time “getting”. I do believe I am a fairly smart dude, even have a few college degrees attesting to that fact. But no matter what these things tend to just cause my brain to stop functioning:
Health Insurance - as in figuring out deductibles, co-pays, percetages of coverage, out of network rates, etc., ad nauseum.

Some of the comments are pretty A+ too.

The UC San Diego student reportedly responsible for hanging a noose last week in a campus library issued a public, but anonymous, apology Monday and said she had no racist motivation.
Sigh.
