  I grew up in a bilingual household. I always said "legos" in English, and "Lego" in German. In this particular instance (singular/plural vis a vis lego(s), the grammar rules are the same). Anyone care to explain THAT?...
• Commented on Gizmo with a weight added for extra heft

  Yeah, that's right! After all the fuss about "weapons confusion" when that cop shot the kid in Oakland a few months back, they're gonna put a shotgun and a taser on the same stalk! You pump, you aim, and then...
