One of the best tidbits about this trump trial is that we wouldn't even be here if he wasn't such a cheap asshole. If he had just reached into his own pocket and gotten $130,000 in cash, we wouldn't be talking about this right now. But he wanted the write-off as a business expense. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
OT. Science most of us already know.

No kidding. Scene, 5th grade, 1970, out in my friend's front yard when he mixed baking soda into a mostly vinegar solution in a Smirnoff vodka pint bottle and stupidly screwed on the cap afterward. "Look, Bill, it's rising." I got halfway through the thought "we fucked" when the glass bomb went off. Time didn't just slow down, it stopped. It was a slightly overcast day, a car was driving by. I saw the white cloud of the explosion, frozen at about 1.5 feet in diameter, and the glint of a glass shard heading to my right eye. Brain: "Roll back!" And it seemed to take forever for my body to respond an imminent command. Shard hit me ABOVE my right eye; missed a bullet on that one. And I can still visualize it to this day.
I took Ross off chemistry detail forever after that. I'll handle all the dangerous stuff hereafter, bro.
