Are his other children called Primus, Secundus, Tertius, Quartus and Quintus?
That would be brilliant, but sadly not true: they're Peter, Mary, Thomas, Anselm and Alfred.

@jaloopa He's missing a Septimus then.

@coldandtired So, people want to watch the pundits eat fruit instead of talk about the tennis, even though talking about tennis is what they're paid for? Not to mention the strawberries were almost certainly eaten by the pundits and the crew once they went off air.

If it's anything like around here, just leave the fruit out and the grackles will polish it off five minutes after everyone leaves.
You don't want to see what they can do to a watermelon.

@mott555 Farm tractors are not easy things to stop for anyone but the driver. Their large tires and the torque that the engine applies to the wheels allow them to climb over most types of barriers. It's dangerous to try to get onto one while it's moving, because the weight and unstoppability will result in one's serious injury or death if one fails to board and gets run over instead. If it has a PTO shaft on the back, then there's yet another thing that needs to be avoided, because that's direct power from the engine, and it won't stop until the engine does.

@mott555 That's a rather short article:
Police chased after a man who was fleeing on a tractor Wednesday morning.
Officers said the pursuit started at a Walmart near 180th and Center streets around 12:30 a.m.
Authorities said the man was driving around the parking lot screaming for a sandwich and some water.
Police said the man then turned out of the parking lot and ended up smashing through a fence on private property.
The man was arrested but police said he did not go peacefully.
edit: Was the local paper's article even shorter? "Bob did it again."

I'm going to choose to assume that this was posted for the benefit of others, and was not an attempt to educate a farmboy like me on how tractors work. :p

@mott555 Indeed so. ;)

@boner Is Photobucket still a thing? I thought everyone got sick of them and moved to Imgur like... forever ago.
I suppose they're technically still around, like MySpace or SourceForge, but are they in any way still relevant?

Another forum I frequent uses them habitually for image hotlinking (since the forum itself doesn't store images). That's where I first heard about this issue.

The developer should have to pay!

Shortly after his death in 2014, the guru's spokesman Swami Vishalanand told the BBC: "He is not dead. Medical science does not understand things like yogic science. We will wait and watch. We are confident that he will come back."

The glitter shit makes sense. The "heat stuff up which makes stuff tighter" not so much.

Sounds like he's not dead, but just chilling out…

@zecc There's a reason why it's known as the Daily Fail.
Well, actually, there's loads of reasons, of which this is one to add to the list.

Two things to note:
a) For his supposedly scientific endeavour he had to assert that his religious freedoms were supposedly violated.
b) This quote:Not that anything he collects will matter. “Even if I don’t find the evidence I think I will find, it wouldn’t assault my core beliefs,” Snelling told The Australian.

Snelling says he will publish his results in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. That likely means Answers in Genesis’ own Answers Research Journal, of which he is editor-in-chief.
In other words, he'll self-publish.

@raceprouk It'll be reviewed by his peers. It's just that his peers don't include many scientists…

They're the ones who really shouldn't be trusted on anything outside their exact subject area. (For example, you probably don't want to listen too much to atomic physicists on the subject of brain biology.)
