What are they going to do, arrest the raccoon?

Wild blackberries are so good. I'm a little jealous.

At any given time T, the coordinates form a right triangle with legs of length 5T and T. Therefore the distance D is given by D^2 = (5T)^2 + T^2 = 26T^2. This simplifies to D = T * sqrt(26). Therefore the rate of separation is sqrt(26) ft/sec regardless of time

Maybe Magneto was onto something...

There's an episode of TNG that tries to explain the inter-species breeding thing. Turns out, ancient aliens spread their DNA across the galaxy, and that's why every alien looks like a human with prosthetics added to their ears, nose, forehead, etc.

I just wish more games would tell you, "Your last save was X seconds ago."

I love it because it tells me what I need to know and it's relatively simple to program (i.e., note current time any time you save or load).

This is a bizarre claim. It appears to be based on a video in which a durian is briefly exposed to a 3300 degree torch. Anything more than that would obviously reduce the whole fruit to char.

Insurance never covers damages from war, because that's a good way to bankrupt the insurance company. Even they don't have infinite money.

I was skeptical, but the source checks out.
