Yeah, the new pope is pretty cool. He's actually read some #Science and #History #Books in addition to the bible. #Singles #takingnotes #newyork-single.com #Chat:11-8-14_5:12pm

Cozy Up Together at the Hayden Planetarium

With the cold hand of Winter creeping ever closer, choosing a date destination that's both intimate and indoorsy becomes a must. Instead of heading out to the usual restaurant or movie theater this season, try adding a splash of science to your romance – while keeping warm – with an educational night under the stars at the Hayden Planetarium.

World’s First Elevator Shaft Located in NYC

Here’s an interesting bit of New York history. It appears as if the very first elevator shaft was constructed in NYC, in the CooperUnionFoundationBuilding. It was, in fact, constructed before there was even a world’s first elevator. The man that built the structure (back in the 1850s) was very much convinced that a working elevator would be invented at any moment. So he had a shaft worked into his building plans.

I can definitely understand that, NYC. I think that's why I'm able to watch reality TV if it's in any way about #History. #Singles #saysthespider #klat.com #Chat:11-8-14_2:12pm

Of all the reports of ghostly happenings in New York, perhaps the most famous – and undoubtedly most interesting – are those of the spirits living within the walls of the Chelsea Hotel.

Who or What is a Carlos Rivero

.

Q. What are those 3 a.m. commenters on ESPN saying, if they think a poker player is "representing" a hand?

A. You're playing Hold 'Em, and the first three cards on the "flop" have two diamonds... a guy pushes into the pot. He's "representing" an Ace of Diamonds, or two diamonds, in the hole ... here comes the fourth up card, it's a diamond. The guy pushes in a big stack! He's "representing" the flush whether he has it or not.

.

Q. You think that a big fat hairy 40-man slot, given to a guy who is the definition of No Prospect represents ... what? To the other 29 teams?

A. Well, the M's have two demonstrably good 6-year shortstops starting already. And $3M going to the Willie Bloomquist Emergency Fund. And Ketel Marte being rushed to AAA last year - whereupon he immediately delivered a cross-face elbow to the bridge of its nose.
