Bag of Randomness

  • I’ve never seen Scarface but I think I get all the pop-culture references.
  • James Corden, the new ‘Late Late Show’ host, has got something.  I severely underestimated him.
  • ‘The Americans’ on FX sure was a downer last night.  Before eating spaghetti the word “mangia” was used, which I never heard before.
  • Former Gov Jeb Bush was in North Texas for a fundraiser complete with his presidential brother and father.  I don’t know why I never thought of it before, but having two former presidents at your events sure is helpful for fundraising.  I wonder what they were asking to have pictures taken with two former presidents?  Should he become his party’s nominee, which I think he will, I think a good VP pick would be Kay Bailey Hutchison.
  • The Houston Chronicle posted a collection of thoughts on what Ted Cruz’s campaign logo looks like.  To me, it looks like a patriotic teardrop.
  • The Wall Street Journal has a story about the use of elevators in ‘Mad Men’.
  • GIF – How to wash your bald head in space
  • I have to hand it to that former University of Oklahoma student for this public apology yesterday.  He could have just read his speech and walked off, but he actually took questions.   It was also quite noticeable the support he was given by the black community members standing behind him, often patting him on the back as he spoke.
  • Today’s dose of ‘MURICA!

HOW IT WORKS: THE NCAA’S NEW FLAT-SEAMED BASEBALL
BETTER AERODYNAMICS LEADS TO MORE HOME RUNS

flat-seamed-baseball2

For more than 100 years, the baseball has remained more or less unchanged. This spring, college players will start their season with a new design. With seams that rise to only 0.031 inches, the ball shaves 0.017 inches off the standard seam height. Flatter seams make for a smaller wake and less drag, so a strong hit will send the new ball 20 feet farther than a standard one. For players, that means more home runs. For the NCAA, it means more exciting games and, hopefully, more spectators.
