    Easy for me to pick: David Avocado Wolfe, but I wouldn't begrudge you if you did indeed stumble and push both buttons.

      Next time I order french fries at a restaurant I'm going to ask for 'potato wands'.
      I intend to live forever.
      So far, so good.

          I've called them french fries for far longer than a moment.

                  I had a similar experience at Black Rock on Maui. I stood watching others for 20 minutes, and realized that if I backed off - it would haunt me forever. I did it, and I'm still telling the story.

                    Statue of Liberty was originally Muslim woman


                    One of the most persistent symbols of American life, the Statue of Liberty, began as a Muslim woman. CBSN's Reena Ninan has the backstory on Lady Liberty.

                    Well, I'll be damned... I always thought that Lady Liberty was a Roman.

                      I did a google search and found a "fact check" that calls this claim a myth. Of course their fact check used at least one made up fact.

                          Hey, I jumped there too.

                          Didn't take me 20 minutes though.

                            Bill Gates says robots need to pay taxes too...

                            The robot that takes your job should pay taxes, says Bill Gates

                            Robots are taking human jobs. But Bill Gates believes that governments should tax companies’ use of them, as a way to at least temporarily slow the spread of automation and to fund other types of employment.


                            It’s a striking position from the world’s richest man and a self-described techno-optimist who co-founded Microsoft, one of the leading players in artificial-intelligence technology.

                            Considering how much microsoft has automated things with their software Bill Gates and his robots should pay a crapload of back taxes!
