    "Cool as the other side of the pillow." Thank you, Stuart Scott. Just saying it makes me feel like I'm laying down to take a nap.

    My grandpa used to tell me, “you don’t know shit from Shinola.”
    I recently learned Shinola was a shoe polish that went bankrupt in the 60s. The name was bought by a watchmaker who now sells Shinola Watches.

    I heard rumor in the distant past that humans used to print words on paper for information distribution.
