Thursday Night Open Thread

I remember Alan Thicke. I was surprised when I found out his sone had a hit record five years or so ago. It’s not a bad song. Sounds a little like something by Marvin Gaye.

Now that I have your attention — unless, of course, I just ran you all off — it’s your turn. It’s Thursday Night Open Thread.

What’s on your mind?

Burn, Baby, Burn

A Japanese company is planning to sell made-to-order “meteor showers” via a satellite that “will circle the globe and kick out 15 to 20 small metallic pebbles on command”.

Icebreaker: If You Could Have One Wish Come True What Would It Be?

Having finished “The 25 most popular icebreaker questions based on four years of data” and enjoyed the results, I’m moving on to a new list:

76 Fun Icebreaker Questions (Not all of which will be used, since some are either/or questions, which are boring.)

If you could have one wish come true what would it be?

I wish someone would reboot “Jurassic Park” so that it’s about a plucky young zookeeper who, despite seemingly insurmountable obstacles (including evil government bureaucrats who are getting bribed by Disney to stop it), manages to successfully open the world’s first cloned dinosaur zoo.

Basically, “We Bought a Zoo” with CGI velociraptors.

Which Amendment Should We Make That?

The MSM Would Love This if Hillary Had Won

Malaysia is proposing a law banning “fake news”, with hefty fines and up to 10 years in jail.

That won’t scare anyone. Want them to shut up? Try “Trump will tweet at you”.
