    Saquon being Saquon...

    Only in the movies. If the bullet was knocking a man backwards, then the recoil from the shot would do the same to the shooter.

    Saquon being Saquon...

    Totally agree, although I think of it more as a rotation around the center of gravity of the weight/body system than a transfer of energy.

    Saquon being Saquon...

    It has to do with the center of gravity of the system, i.e. the weight and body together. In order for their to be any benefit in a bowling ball dunk, you'd have to impart enough energy into the swing of the bowling ball before you left the ground for its trajectory to take it above the rim...

    OT: Since your schooling ended, where have you lived? Your likes/dislikes of those places?

    State College Pittsburgh Philadelphia Harrisburg Darien, CT Chicago Stanford, CT State College All of the moves were job related promotions, save the last. That was a retirement move. The most telling thing about Pittsburgh and Philly was that my Pgh friends would congratulate me on the...

    New Restrictions on Bars & Restaurants in PA

    Interesting theory. I'm not sure that's generally accepted as true but, if it gets more people wearing masks, then, fantastic, spread the word.

    New Restrictions on Bars & Restaurants in PA

    Partially true. The studies that you are refer to show the masks that people are wearing don't work protecting YOU. N95 respirators do work as self protection. The no masks recommendation was to prevent a run on N95 respirators so there would be enough for the health care workers. Nothing...

    For the old guys here...

    The Joplin concert was sponsored by the Penn State Jazz Club. A friend of mine was an officer in the club and said that Joplin and the band came back to his apartment for a post concert party. Said she got totally shitfaced on Southern Comfort.

    FYI: Hack got married today

    She started dating him when he was a freshman at PSU. Rumor had it that her teammates accused her of robbing the cradle since she was a junior at the time. :)

    Rasir Bolton on Why he left Penn State

    Tieing it to a hook in fishing line is one. Tieing it on the end of a half-inch, or thicker, rope that's going to hang in the open is something comletely different. At a minimum, it's very racially insensitive.

    Link: Something funny from a Penn-Stater....

    I suspect they would like to redo the ending given today's environment. It's no longer funny.

    Corona model for PA just significantly improved

    Thanks. One comment from the article resonates with me... "Finally, “What will happen?'” is a different question than “What should we do?” " The point that I've been trying to make is that the useful models are the ones that answer the latter question, not the ones that get the first answer...

    21 Clemson Players Test Positive

    It's still a big unknown if the kids in the younger demographic will have long term health issues or not. That should be a major concern.

    No they don't. They show up when they enroll.

    Jeffrey Epstein Documentary

    Correct. You would be hard pressed to find anyone in town who didn't know someone on the Second Mile board. They continually sought out prominent townsfolk to be on the board and many people very willingly agreed to since the charity was so well respected.

    First date with your wife or girlfriend

    It was June 80 to June 82 for me. Very likely, we were in JIm's together some Fri/Sat night in 82.

    First date with your wife or girlfriend

    It was a Friday in May 1982. Don't remember which one exactly. We both belonged to the same racquet club and hung around as a group so the move I made in the bar wasn't completely out of the blue. The bar was a place called O'Briens near Suburban Station in Center City.
