Was John Pemberton a seer?
Really, could you possibly imagine a better name for a drink than Coca-Cola in regard to marketing potential of China? They say Jules Verne nailed all those means of transport we use today several decades in advance but Pemberton is the real deal here. Coca-Cola. Brilliant.

Id like to question the random country chooser on the site.
I have got austria and italy more than average recently. Makes me wonder if the mods are rigging it so id leave... :P But really, for those of you familiar with the phenomenon, is the generator truly random like sites like random.org or is it pseudorandom? Does anyone know?

NFL Pick 'Em: Week 8
Inside the updated totals after Week 7 will be posted...as soon as I add them (or someone who already has it added up wants to post if, if they're faster.)

As we're at the half-way point of the season, lots of teams on bye and another week for blow-outs it seems. With the Packers on bye, who will dominate the weak...so--who'll win? PICK 'EM!

NO@STL - NO
IND@TEN - TEN

Obi's Picks:

ARI@BAL: The RAVENS should win this won easily
MIN@CAR: The PANTHERS take another one as Cam improves his ROY campaign
JAC@HOU: The TEXANS begin to solidify their position in the AFC South
MIA@NYG: The GIANTS win it in a laugher, boosting Eli's confidence again
NO@STL: The SAINTS go marching into St. Louis and trample on the good feelings
IND@TEN: On a hunch, I'll say the COLTS steal one from inconsistent Tennessee
WAS@BUF: The BILLS win to stay pace in the wild-card hunt
DET@DEN: The LIONS get back on the winning track against Denver
NE@PIT: In the best game of the week...and I'll take the STEELERS' D to outlast Brady
CIN@SEA: The BENGALS continue to stay semi-relevant and the Seahawks die off
CLE@SF: The 49ERS continue to mae their case for a first-round bye (YEAH BABY!)
DAL@PHI: OK, this is an entertaining game...shame I hate both clubs...EAGLES
SD@KC: The CHARGERS reaffirm their place atop the AFC West

These last 3 on the bottom were the ones who NMR'd, so to speak.
ARI@BAL - I think that last week was a fluke and the RAVENS will win it with a new fire lit beneath them
MIN@CAR - I went against Cam last week and regretted it. Though the vikings show life, I think PANTHERS will take the day.
JAC@HOU - After dominating the Titans, I think the TEXANS will win with a purpose in Jacksonville and secure the division lead
MIA@NYG - I'm going with my GIANTS again. I regretted betting against them twice now.
NO@STL - No question. SAINTS.
IND@TEN - This is tough, since both teams are really struggling. I think Indy has the better defense, and lots of offensive weapons still. CJ2K has been silent this year, so its just a question of when he explodes. Will it be this week? I think yes. TITANS
WAS@BUF - It will be close, but BUFFALO stops their slide and gets back on track
DET@DEN - Can Tebow rejuvinate the Broncos or was last week a fluke? I think so. LIONS
NE@PIT - game of the week, but the PATRIOTS will walk away with the win
CIN@SEA - Cincy's defense has been extremely good and will shine tomorrow. BENGALS
CLE@SF - the NINERS will clean up shop here
DAL@PHI - As much as I hate the Cowboys, and as much as I'd like them to win....they're still the Cowboys and will invent ways to lose. EAGLES
SD@KC - I'm going to call CHIEFS to win this one, though it will come down real close
Leif_Syverson (271 D)
30 Oct 11 UTC
ARI@BAL: BAL
MIN@CAR: CAR
JAC@HOU: HOU
MIA@NYG: NYG
NO@STL: NO
IND@TEN: TEN
WAS@BUF: BUF
DET@DEN: DEN is my upset call this week
NE@PIT: NE
CIN@SEA: SEA
CLE@SF: SF
DAL@PHI: DAL
SD@KC: SD
BAL, CAR, HOU, NYG, NO, TEN, BUF, DET, NE, SEA, SF, PHI, KC. I bet everyone gets 11-13 right this week, not many swing games.
WTF? At halftime it's ARI 24 BAL 6, MIA 17 NYG 10, and STL17 NO 0! I know nothing.

Digits is looking ok, he picked both the Fins & Cards.
Ravens called it close there....but that missed Panthers field goal really ended up screwing me. Who misses a 30 yard field goal?
9-3 going into MNF. I'll take it!

3-3 to start, but the Afternoon and SNF sweep brings me to 9-3 heading into Monday's game...

Cancelling the Masters
Unless someone has talked to TrustMe or compiled a list on their own and knows what's needed, I plan on cancelling any paused Masters game this Thursday. I'm not really willing to reverse engineer each game to figure out what he was planning. It's been left in the fridge too long, time to throw it out.

Jesus=Socialist?
Someone I happen to see nearly everyday insists that Jesus was a socialist and/or advocated the philosophical and moral grounds/justifications for instituting socialism. I oppose socialism, but am not particularly religious, and thus not really angered by this statement; nevertheless, many Christians I know have been angered by this claim. Discussion/debate?

Six of the Best
Politicians get a lot of bad press in the modern age, and sadly a lot of it is deserved. The vast majority can be safely ignored without any risk of missing anything remotely interesting or useful to our lives. But in the sea of mediocrity float a few stars, a small number of voices that are worth noting. My question is: which politicians still have the power to make you stop and listen? Lets see a list of six of your best!
