Christ's day job was as a carpenter, so there's your sawdust connection. Still better than if he was a stable hand, I guess.

Your lack of a spoiler warning has flat out ruined it for me. All my hopes for a pleasant diversion absolutely deflated, though its also my fault for reading to the bottom of the tread.

Clever. That earned an upvolt.

$4 million!?!? Wait until those suckers find out that picture is available on every PC built in the last 20 years...FOR FREE!

Perhaps, but the lack of a revolving door indicates she's still a lady.

I like the expectant mother one.

My wife's parents had a Bernese Mountain dog on their farm. I played with Ike when he was a puppy and looked forward to seeing him everytime we drove down to visit. Seven years later we were all mourning his death due to old age. A wonderful breed, but that 6-8 year shelf life is an absolute deal breaker for me.

It's also an amazing cataract simulator, if your kid presses it on a winter drive. In one moment, your windows go from clear to opaque.

Last thing I'll add is that any temporary repair is noted in the log book carried on the plane and may require an ongoing inspection, after each flight leg or designated time frame, to ensure the ongoing integrity of the temporary repair. In this case, given the location and extent of the taping, its probably erosion of the paint at the leading edge of the composite panels, so they're protecting the panels from water infiltration or possibly a loss of the aerodynamic and waterproof sealant that is normally found between the panels and the aluminum lip, in which case, they may have already reapplied it and are just protecting it during its cure cycle, with a note in the log to remove the tape and inspect the sealant after its had time to fully cure.

Willard Stiles and Beverly Switzer, two animal lovers. Evidently, it didn't end well.

Fledgling develops a taste for alcohol?

That would obviously depend on both the speed and accuracy of the thrower, as well as the mass and density of your heart. When can you make yourself available?

That's what the nun said to the vicar!
