    I would have lost this bet: Melinda would dump Bill (or visa versa) before Melania dumped the Donald. https://www.geo.tv/latest/348600-bill-and-melinda-gates-confirm-divorce-say-they-will-end-their-marriage

    @Robert Garry It will be interesting to see the settlement

    @Robert Garry Yeah, what the hell - I'm really surprised about this, although Bill must be exceptionally tiring to bearound 24/7....

    @Robert Garry Apparently, Bill just wants to play on-line bridge 24-7.

    Hah - "Z Divison". Love it. I like to think of us as being the "A Team" - much cooler, really.

    The intel community has no evidence whatsoever that remotely suggests that WIV had SC2 before the pandemic.

    Nope. None. And look at the title "Classified study found COVID-19 _could_ have originated in Chinese lab". Sure, itcould - however, likely didn't. Anything is possible - but in science we need actual data.

    Reminds me of a classic British TV show called 'Z Cars'. I hope the Z Division play the same iconic music at the startof each day (interesting factoid is that Everton FC in UK still play this tune when they run onto the pitch):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWflrCrwUSw
