Thank goodness, the accuracy of this magazine's cover is 100% and no one has ever failed after being featured there.
Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

At least it wasn't something he posed for shirtless or anything. Basically ruined Nomar's career.

Actually they were going to go with Correa on the cover, but, you know.

The article is on-line now. Looks good, but haven't had time to read it.

Apparently, while working for NASA, Sig Mejdal's research disproved the benefits of napping.

What a prick.

Sorry, but I am not buying it.  If there was no benefit in napping, I wouldn't do it every afternoon.

Anybody who uses metrics to determine that there's no benefit to napping is questionable in my book.

I read the article...nothing anyone here wouldn't already know.

A lot of references to blackjack which felt cheesy.

The article about Klinnsman in the same issue was more interesting.

Maybe I am the only one, but I would take playing in the world series in the next decade in a heartbeat.
It's my estimation that every man ever got a statue made of 'em was one kinda sombitch or another.
