The NFL’s Washington franchise is retiring the “Redskins” team name. I'll take advantage of one of my last chances to use an old joke: Why do some people want to change the name of the Washington Redskins? Because they feel that the term "Washington" is offensive. So, apparently the intended replac...

The theme lyrics only say “this tropic port”, I would think there’s more than one in Hawaii. Yes, but anyone who has seen the show a lot would know they left from Honolulu. I admit it's a fairly minor plot point in a 50+ year old show, but if you're of a certain age you very likely grew up watching...

Hugh Downs has died at 99. He hosted a number of shows, including Today, 20/20, and Concentration.

Prior to Regis breaking it, Hugh had the record for most time spent on television.

I really want to thank everyone for jumping in with the math. My initial thought was either 41% or 59% by doing the 80*80*80*80 thing...but couldn't figure out which was the number I was looking for (we want to see zero roosters). So far, it's looking like all hens...but time will tell. I hate to b...

Well this just happened in Pennsylvania: Under the order, people are required to wear face coverings if they are outdoors and are unable to keep a distance of six feet from people who are not members of their households. People also must wear coverings when they are in any indoor location where memb...

This is not really a poll. It's more of an informal query, but I welcome any feedback, private or public. Although as a freelancer I'm busier than ever during the pandemic, I have somehow also managed to be in a position to catch more news as it happens and post appropriate items to the Current Eve...

Are they African or European chickens?

yes

My wife decided to buy chickens. She is hoping she doesn't end up with a rooster. She said the lot of birds the store gets their supply from claims 80% are hens. Since she bought 4 birds, I think the odds are 625:1 that one of them is a rooster. Am I correct? Trying to dust the cobwebs off this par...

I would love to watch lots of weeks from season 1, as I was in my mom's belly until episode 70.

What, no Navel Observatory?

not one orange in sight

NASA HQ in Washington never had a name...but it does now: Mary W. Jackson NASA Headquarters

Mary W. Jackson was one of the "Hidden Figures"

are the results of the voting up yet? Speaking of up -- look up. ;) https://learnedleague.com/hist/awards/85.php Here are the top 5 BWAs. The winner would've been much better, in my eyes, had it been only a single word (since that's what the question asked for). Thought the one that got 2nd was rea...

Didn't the BWA duty get crowdsourced this time? Yes. They still picked one of the lamest ones to win, though. They can't all be winners, but still a better ratio this time. I voted (well, would have; I was too late to do so) for the ones that came in 3rd and 4th, so they weren't all bad. My first c...
