It used to be the fodder for the daily comics.
But these days, the sandwhich sign purveyors of doom come across as models of restraint.

Maybe it was the driving force that fueled a knock down drag out fight on the playground over whether Mickey Mantle or Willie Mays was the greatest baseball player ever?

One of the most discernible marks the teaching of Darwinian evolution has left on our culture is a blurring of the line between man and animals.
You’ve heard it all before, haven’t you?
