I remember him coming to SLC on his AAA team right before he made his MLB debut. He was a lard *** back then too, and if I remember correctly, he got into an altercation with one of our players and benches cleared.

Not sure why/how I remember that, but I do.

Today I learned about Dunbar's number: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar's_number. It's basically the number of people a regular person can keep track of, including relationships between each other (not just relationships between them and you). It is probably around 100-250, with a commonly used value of 150.

Funny, right before I read this I was just thinking that I no longer can retain what I know about people and perhaps I need to carry around a notebook with each person's facts. So good to know that the notebook needs to be 150 pages.

Until relatively recently in human history, "blue" didn't exist, not in the way we think of it.

As the delightful Radiolab episode "Colors" describes, ancient languages didn't have a word for blue — not Greek, not Chinese, not Japanese, not Hebrew. And without a word for the color, there is evidence that they may not have seen it at all.

Thank you.
Damn, not even close at all. I thought it would be closer than that.

No, and it said Starbucks and most other coffee shops are closer to 240mg.
