“This is my rifle! There are many other ones like it, but this one is mine!”
“Hey, isn’t that my rifle?”
“Huh, I don’t really know. They all look the same to me.”

Football fanatics now have an excuse to enjoy their meals in front of TV during Thanksgiving games instead of being pulled into formal, sit-down family dinners.
For decades, those meals were promoted as a one-size-fits-all solution to complex problems like childhood obesity, family breakdown and even depression.
But in a new study, Monash University researchers knocked back that old view and found that enjoying dinner time in front of the TV or in the car between activities can actually benefit families.

In A Word, Family
Because their hamburgers are small and square, with holes in them?
The smell?
They weren’t willing to sell out?
Just lucky, I guess?

Every now and again, scientists discover fossils that are so bizarre they defy classification, their body plans unlike any other living animals or plants. Tullimonstrum (also known as the Tully Monster), a 300 million-year-old fossil discovered in the Mazon Creek fossil beds in Illinois, is one such creature.
At first glance, Tully looks superficially slug-like. But where you would expect its mouth to be, the creature has a long thin appendage ending in what looks like a pair of grasping claws. Then there are its eyes, which protrude outward from its body on stalks.

I saw this on Facebook and got to thinking . . .
Here’s what I would do if I was Bill Gates:
* Make Taco Tuesdays on Wednesdays, too.
* Buy a non-Internet jukebox for ever bar in America.
* A Beachwood Inn on every corner, with animatronic Bob bartenders.
* Buy every Coldplay, Nickelback and Hootie record in existence and destroy them. He wakes up every day and doesn’t do this.

* The Madigan Grande: Comes with a job at ComEd but you have to walk a precinct every two years.
* Because Joe Berrios is an investor, those buying coffee on the top floor will pay less than those on the bottom floor.
* We’d especially like welcome Chicago’s criminal defense bar!
* The Chicago Pour Over: Once a month you can pour coffee over Rahm Emanuel for charity.
* The Chicago Handshake: a PBR, a shot of Malort, a Venti Giardnera and an envelope filled with unmarked bills.
