It was a great movie. Thomas Crown, though, was the role he was born to play.

It's pretty unlikely to get two more terms of a democratic presidency. Biden wasn't VP when he won. The last VP to be elected was Bush 1. Before him, LBJ, special circumstances. Truman, also special circumstances. That takes us back nearly 100 years.

Maybe if Kamala were to step aside we could get a governor as the nominee, but that seems unlikely even though governors have better records in presidential elections. Biden didn't run when he was VP, but I don't remember another VP that stepped away from the ticket voluntarily.

She's not legendary, the way Achilles is. She was a real person.

"Them"? The cows? Kenya knows we eat them, right?

That's surely not true for a number of reasons. The UK wasn't a thing, and modern English wasn't a thing. Beowulf has a fair bit of jokes in it, and that's some 200 years earlier, in Old English, than this thing.

Hell, I'm pretty sure Plato's Symposium starts out with a three word pun. That's Greek and not English of course, but the idea of picking out an earliest joke is just ridiculous.
