I heard that America was founded for the people. I don't think that's true now, and I don't think it's been true for a long, long time.
We have odds on American Idol. We have groups of people who band together every week to buy lottery tickets in the hopes that they are the ones who will strike it rich. Yet gambling is bad, says our leaders. Don't they work for us?
Scientists have allegedly found a crater in Egypt. A really big one. 19 miles big, if their figures are correct. I've seen the picture. What I don't see is the crater.
The article talks about the untrained eye, and I'm rather certain that it would be difficult to be more untrained than my eye (or eyes, as the case may be). But still. Shouldn't it look something like a circle? I mean, sure, those dotted white lines are circular, but if you take them out of the picture, you get something like this (or this).
