What is the McCormick place and why is it so huge?
Bigly hugely large conventions necessitate spaces with corresponding attributes? Or: the auto show has lots of cars. (?)
As official moderator, I’d like to request a clarification of Dan’s statement, followed by a rebuttal (‘rebuttal’ is apparently my favorite word lately) by Nils.
“The indole test is a biochemical test performed on bacterial species to determine the ability of the organism to split indole from the amino acid tryptophan. This division is performed by a chain of a number of different intracellular enzymes, a system generally referred to as ‘tryptophanase.’”

Funny you ask that, Nils—because I didn’t know the above before your query. We simply use the test to classify organisms and don’t worry too much about the biochemistry behind it.
I used to play DDR but then I realized it was exercise. Same deal with the Wii. At first you think you’re just having a good old time but watch out because the next thing you know your heart rate is up and your burning calories. No thank you, I say to that. I worked hard to earn those calories and I’ll be damned if I’ll let you take them away Nintendo!!!.

Well instead of a long worded response to Nils’ comment I thought I would just insult him for beating me instead of making an excuse for why I am taking so long to reach that goal. I then decided to tell him it was not a big deal, mainly out of jealousy. Finally, I agree with Markoe when it comes to my retirement from DDR. I was also made fun of for making things fall off of shelves as I jumped around on that damn pad.
This picture confused me at first. My original thought was that you had taken a picture from the the Masters website. That thought only lasted about .003 seconds, however, and I soon figured out what I was looking at. Nicely done.
