"Weiner Website Featured Image of Pittsburgh
"Anthony Weiner (D) changed his newly unveiled New York mayoral campaign website after criticism it displayed the cityscape of Pittsburgh, The Hill reports."

***Someone asked online: "What happened on this date in 1879? And changed the world, well at least for women, as they knew it!"

I answered: "The number of sexes required for reproduction was reduced from eleven to five. (Note: the belief that only two are required is a superstition.)"

[Correct answer:  Reese candy company was established.]

On Usenet, someone had explained how FDR engineered the attack on Pearl Harbor.  And the CIA had the records that proved this.  Another poster pointed out that the CIA hadn't existed at the time.

I explained that the CIA was actually established in 93 billion BC, well before our universe was built.

So much for my worries about a snark deficiency.
