A terrific feature about SNL\u2019s Lorne Michaels as the show celebrates its 50th anniversary.<\/p>\n

Many writers have sat beside him watching their sketches die, only to have him turn and say, with stony sarcasm, \u201cYou must be very proud.\u201d If the host\u2019s monologue is flat, he\u2019ll moan, \u201cCan we get\u00a0any<\/em>\u00a0charm out of him?\u201d If a piece is too erudite, he might tell its writer, \u201cCan they take the Emmy\u00a0away<\/em>?\u201d John Mulaney said, \u201cMay the cast members go to their graves never knowing the things I heard under the bleachers.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There\u2019s the old saying about not wrestling with a pig because you both get muddy and the pig likes it. Well, author Jon Krakauer decided to take on a YouTuber who, for some unknown reason, has been obsessed with ripping apart Krakauer\u2019s best setting book Into Thin Air<\/em>, apparently mostly by lying, misrepresenting actual events, and fabricating others. I\u2019m only part way through this series. I recommend having some popcorn handy if you choose to read it.<\/p>\n

So, how did Siri do? With the absolute most charitable interpretation, Siri correctly provided the winner of just 20 of the 58 Super Bowls that have been played.

When micro-cracks begin to appear inside the asphalt, it becomes deformed which leads to the oils being released from the spores to fill the cracks.
