This just in.....

The Cubbie's Mark Prior will have exploratory shoulder surgery tomorrow.

And in other news, the sun is expected to rise in the east.

Marlins pitcher Dontrelle Willis' wife gave birth to a baby yesterday. ESPN.com had run a poll asking if pro athletes should work on the day their children are born. Over 70% responded that they should not.

Added the SportsCenter anchor, "90% also said that Dontrelle should name the new baby 'Whatchu talkin' 'bout' ". :D

I hate to give JR more ammunition than he already has, but I love this strip, and I thought some of you might enjoy this one.

Implicit in this statement is that you think some of us might not enjoy it.

We can only conclude that you are a mean spirited trouble maker. Whoever you are.

Thanks, Chuck.

Some of us might enjoy it.

Some of us might not. :p

Well, I certainly enjoyed it.

Well, you can't call him a stupid monkey.

And yes, there was never any doubt in my mind that you'd post that.

Absolutely false. Logically, "some" is equivalent to "at least one", and can include "all".

"Some people enjoyed this" is true if only one person enjoyed it.
"Some people enjoyed this" is also true if everybody enjoyed it.

I can only conclude that you never took a Logic course (or at least, that you never took a Logic course that I've taught :D ).

I just watched "Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi" with my daughter in the last couple of weeks. I don't remember that <s>grope</s> scene. Must have been in Episode IV.

So, if I say "some people are short", it can logically follow that "all people are short"?

Scary thought........

Not that I've got anything against short people. I just wouldn't want my daughter to marry one.

Adam Wed Apr 25, 2007 12:27am

Some of my best friends are short people.

So, does this mean that "some" of your friends look up to you?
