> [@Maserschmidt](#): > > Statistics are skewed all the time by anomalous events, that doesn’t make them bad statistics. They can be footnoted etc., but they are homicides and they took place in NYC. This is what i was going to say. The correct answer is a footnote. Anomalous events are, in the aggregate, pretty common. The standard way to deal with them is to include them in the statistics (and yes, of course those deaths are homicides) but to also include a footnote, so the reader can understand the statistics. ---

This makes me wonder, are victims of acts of war considered homicides too? the Berlin 1945 homicide rate would be stratospherical. And if they are not, shouldn’t victims of international terrorism be excluded too? ---

If by “pizza bones” you mean the outer rim of the crust where there is little or no toppings, I usually save them last and dip them- my fave dip is balsamic and a little olive oil, or blue cheese dressing. My buddy feeds them to his dog. But I mostly eat [pizza from Toppers, and there are toppings all the way almost to the edge, so then i just eat the whole slice, right then and there. ---

It depends on the pizza. The pan pizza I make myself has toppings all the way to the edge; in fact the edge is a crispy browned ring of Monterey Jack cheese known as _frico_ and is the best part of the pizza. For most thin crust pizzeria style pizzas, I’ll usually leave the crust unless I’m exceptionally hungry or the crust is exceptionally good. I’ve never heard the term “pizza bones” before today though. ---

You only get inedible pizza crusts if you’re ordering inferior pizza. Chicago natives who order tavern-style know this. Never found a great pizza place when I lived in San Francisco. But here in Vegas I’ve got a couple of excellent go-to local pizza joints, and I always chow down on the bones. ---

Eons ago one of my co-workers had a parrot. We went out for pizza a lot, and I always saved the pizza bones for the parrot. He _loved_ them (wish I could remember his name). I am trying to eat healthy, so I don’t need the extra no-toppings carbs, so I almost always don’t eat them. If I’m eating with my sister, she’ll finish them off. ---

I took two trips to Canada with my family when I was a kid. The first time I was like six years older, so I don’t remember all that much, but I do know we were in Quebec City, and I definitely remember being on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. I think we may have also visited Montreal on that trip, but I don’t have any real strong memories of being there so I didn’t check that one. On the second trip we went to Fundy National Park, and on the map I saw that we must have passed through Saint John, New Brunswick, to get there. So I checked “Saint John’s”. But now I realize that is probably referring to Saint John’ **s** , Newfoundland, so I probably need to change that vote.
