Was looking at ESPN and glanced at the headlines on the sidebar. I did not realize I was looking at the ABC News portion and when I saw "Bodies of Pirate Victims Headed Home," I thought there had been an incident at their Spring Training camp.

also, this is slightly embarrassing but my brain is stuck right now and i cant figure out this simple math problem. i do it the way i think im supposed to but there is no way i have the right answer.

Say I am going on a trip that is 1794 miles long. The car I am driving gets 35 hwy mi/gal. If gas is let's say 3.30 a gallon how much is that going to cost?

also,

ffs calvin
