"Polamalu’s lineage can be traced through several roots. Chuck Norris mated with an Amazon Queen, and on the other side, Tony Hawk mated with Mother Nature. The two children of these spawned and fused in a tantric love session to create Troy Polamalu. The mother however died as he tore through the birth canal with a spin move."

that’s all i have to say…that is the yankees’ yearly payroll. the mets are next with 135,000,000, and the phillies are ~113,000,000. if people are paid on how well they play, then that roughly translates into every player on the yankees is twice as good as everyone on the phillies. the wonder is how they don’t win it EVERY year!
well...
i put the thing on 3 separate lines, then it took the liberty of pushing it all together into one sentence. then i went in and just put a huge number of spaces in between them, instead of on separate lines, still, it pushed it all together. so after that, i decided to put the million periods in there (looks like a damn NOW convention), that was the only way to make it work. if i could have, i would have just paid Facebook $200M to get it to look right.
