probably the most nebulous family type relation I'm in routine contact with is Cousin Bobby. He (& his siblings) are my mother's brother's wife's brother's kids. But that relationship isn't about ties of blood, it's about time spent.

uncle as 'first cousin once removed' is a good bit, since 'removed works both up and down the chain. I don't know any of my second cousins but my kids know theirs, because all us first cousins hang out.

traffic engineering and safety in the US is so twisted around, we're doing administrative controls for high energy potentially lethal incidents and engineering controls for privacy concerns.

You’re caught unawares and offered $1000 per correct word if you recite any existing piece of text you know - accumulating up to the point you make your first mistake. How much do you walk away with?

years ago, I interviewed with one of the largest mozzarella cheese makers in the US. One of their primary problems was what to do with all the excess whey.

Every new food with added protein just sounds like a way to get us to drink blood or eat tumors or something. Protein water? That's blood, my swole friend.

Ron Howard a la ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT. "I'm going to wake up early and get a workout in." NARRATOR: He didn't!

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?
