Thursday trivia #107

“Learned helplessness” is totally a thing, but perhaps some people are more prone to it than others.
If I were critically injured, I would be totally OK with having my blood replaced with freezing salt water to “pause” my metabolism long enough for the ED docs to fix me up.
In the past two weeks I’ve started watching 3 new shows: Longmire, Orange is the New Black (thoroughly enjoying it so far), and Halt and Catch Fire (atmospheric, but they muff a lot of technical details and the MacMillan character seems a straight ripoff of Don Draper). However, that’s all about to go by the wayside for two reasons: my “pre-order” list at Amazon is about to blow up with new books, and the World Cup is starting today.
Hopefully the airplane will be fixed in time for our scheduled trip to Perrysburg. If not, second prize is the Fathers’ Day Weekend Inferno at Anaheim Chili.
