JMG Trump Thread [warning - contains something of interest]
I'm watching a show where they're levitating frogs with magnets...

Weird, and not very useful for much, unless you have a lot of frogs you need to suddenly shuttle somewhere...

but picture it from the bloody frog's perspective?

You just KNOW that frog is rubbing his head, thinking, "Man, I shouldn't have had that many flies last night! This feels like a pretty fucked-up situation I'm in right now..."

It didn't

I know lots about the meissner effect.

in that enforced anonymity meant that every post had to be judged on merit alone, rather than the personality of its author.
