Maybe? Listen if it is then he's clearly started a new exercise routine if he's only recently started needing a sports bra for his flappy hooties. That means even at his age he's still working to improve himsellf. I can respect that.
Uhh, no disrespect intended @Dave
I
haven’t head the one about beam of light and sunny afternoon. I also can’t figure it out. It takes about 8 minutes for light to get from the sun to earth. I could see it being more or less true at night for starlight.
Yeah, but that photon originates during nuclear fusion at the sun's core. That photon takes 10,000-100,000 years to make it's way to the surface and then 8 minutes to Earth.
Hmm, that makes me wonder if photons take the same amount of time to wind their way of out supergiants like Betelgeuse or if because they're so much less dense that it doesn't increase the amount of time from core to surface.

TIL my favorite Farmers market used to be a train station! Wild.
Please don't tell me you mean "Reading Terminal Market", because... I mean, it's there in the name.
Unless you thought they meant it in the other definition of "terminal", as in "extremely or hopelessly severe; leading to death", which, okay, it's Philadelphia. It could have that vibe.
NO-that one I knew about...and am pretty sure my dad combined stories when I asked about the farmers market on the Black Horse Pike during conversation, thought he meant BOTH of them.
The Black Horse Pike one was just a farmers market with this really big stone thing.
I assumed it was like, a SUPER OLD railroad station before I was born, and he was also talking about Reading Terminal, but apparently just Reading.

TIL that this guy:
The punk on a bus from Star Trek IV, not only wrote and performed the song, "I Hate You", that he's annoying the bus with, but he was also a writer for Muppet Treasure Island, and wrote / directed a lot of other Muppet stuff, including Muppets Haunted Mansion.

And it's not even just dogs! I've had a couple of miniature donkey patients (weighing roughly the same as a larger human) who have needed pacemakers and have received donated units as well! They're still doing great 5-10+ years later!
