发帖数: 12995 | 1 An 11-year-old Alabama boy used a pistol to kill a wild hog that just may be
the biggest pig ever found.
Jamison Stone's father says the hog his son killed weighed a 1,051 pounds
and measured 9-feet-4 from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail.
Think hams as big as car tires.
If the claims are accurate, Jamison's trophy boar would be bigger than
Hogzilla, the famed wild hog that grew to seemingly mythical proportions
after being killed in south Georgia in 2004.
Hogzilla originally was tho... 阅读全帖 |

Dragon =!=> 龙
每次看到有人把“龙”翻译成“Dragon”，或者是把“Dragon”翻译成 “龙”，都觉
得很郁闷和气氛。这完全是两码事吗。
dragon
a mythical animal usually represented as a monstrous winged and scaly
serpent or saurian with a crested head and enormous claws (merriam-webster).

龙者鳞虫之长。王符言其形有九似∶头似牛，角似鹿，眼似虾，耳似象，项似蛇，腹似

马勒戈壁/草泥马
The Grass Mud Horse or Caoníma (草泥马), is a Chinese Internet meme widely
used as a form of symbolic defiance of the widespread Internet censorship in
China. It is a play on the Mandarin language words cào nǐ mā (肏你妈),
literally, "fuck your mother", and is one of the so-called 10 mythical
creatures created in a hoax article on Baidu Baike in early 2009 whose names

About Wilt (guess where he sits in the list):
He dominated NBA foes and the league's record book
in his mythic career and was courted by several teams
well into his 40s -- the Nets allegedly made inquiries when
Chamberlain was 50 -- to consider a comeback. Then
there's the tale coach Larry Brown told about bumping i

发帖数: 31 | 8 The perennial cry for a true national college football championship has been
taken by bowl organizers as both a threat and an opportunity. The threat is
that a post-season tournament for Division I teams will rob the bowl games of
their luster. The opportunity is that the major bowls themselves can work
together to create at least a mythical championship game.
To seize the opportunity and deflect the threat, the Bowl Coalition was formed
in 1992 by four major bowl games (the Cotton, Fiesta, Oran |

【美国JRs之声】看球20年的美帝老球迷眼中的NBA变化发展：当下真的是黄金时代

Observations after watching the NBA for 20 years (self.nba)
20年老球迷和大家聊聊NBA。
在我们等待总决赛开始的同时，我决定给大家分享一些20年来NBA里发生的有趣事情
。也许一些论坛上的老球迷能够对我的这份列表有所补充，同时我也会很好奇那些年轻
的球迷们对我下面写的这些内容会有什么看法。
首先有一点我要先提出来，我最初是在1997-1998赛季开始看NBA的，所以下面的故事
看起来是以科比/沙克/卡特为主线的话，这便是因为在我的成长过程中猛龙和湖人是我
最喜欢的球队。

Culture Wars--Happy Valley Vs. The Big Ten
A crisis on the border exists. The new immigrants are not assimiliating
peacefully into the native culture, and a tempest is brewing. No, we're not
down on the Mexican border with the Minutemen. Rather, the crisis exists on
the mythical border Penn State crossed when it emigrated to the Big Ten in
1993. After Saturday, a full-fledged rebellion is brewing. |

Quarterback U.
The oft-used term conjures up images of a long lineage of deft passers, all
of whom proudly wore the same school colors, sang the same school songs and
accepted the torch when their time arrived. Over the years, they’ve
collectively formed a mini-farm system for the National Football League—a
quarterback factory, if you will.
Give some programs two reliable signal-callers in a five-year period and
they’re ready to stake claim to the mythical mon |

privilege chasing the mythical sub-3.
After the S.I. half on Sunday, I was talking to a older runner who said
he was a sub-3 marathoner in his 20's. It was his moment of triumph.
Almost like his own Superbowl conquest which he wares like a badge of
honor.
I still believe it takes a fair amount of talent aside from hard work to
get to this level. Great job!

cross meadows, swamps, and even a river. We had to walk through water 5,6
times, before the climb toward Hope Pass starts. When I hit the trail, it
became immediately obvious that this will be hiking, not running (unless you
are Kilian Jornet or Anton Krupicka, perhaps). I had hiked up 14ers in each
of the previous three weekends, and was full of confidence when it comes to
hiking. I was going up faster than everyone around ... 阅读全帖 |
