Why any university has a sports teamed named after a manual floor sweeper I have no idea. But it pretty much sums up my opinion of VT and college sports.

@scottalanmiller Oh, that can be topped. There's a professional german ice hockey team, Nürnberg Thomas Sabo Ice Tigers (http://www.icetigers.de/). Thomas Sabo is a well known fashion jewelry brand.
So a lot of tough guys and lots of fashion jewelery

This is the park that we are going to after MangoCon...

That is actually pretty cool.
They mentioned that radioactive material could be eaten away by these bacteria. But the question is, how could we get enough of the bacteria into these hazard zones, and confirm that they are eating enough of it, quickly enough? (on radioactive decay scales)

Saw this post on 9gag.. through it was a joke. I guess it is not.

Seriously a two year old - I hope they aren't blaming the gator!

And his parents let him wade into water that was off limits due to other safety concerns, too.

Most of Florida qualifies as a "safety concern"... Letting a toddler run around anywhere in FL is stupid and negligent.
