The credits for SUPERMAN (1978) are interesting. Not only is Christopher Reeve famously billed third, after Brando and Hackman, but Margot Kidder (Lois Lane) comes after Otis, Perry White, Pa Kent, and Krypton Honcho

This is the GroupMe chat for my kid’s school bus. 95% of the messages there are about the bus, a great many include the word “bus,” quite a few use the exact phrase “[name] will not be on the bus”
After 5 months of this, the autocomplete still wants to go with “will not be on the ballot”

One thing I’ve never quite understood in weather forecasts is e.g. “Chance of snow 60%. 3 to 5 inches of snow expected.” If there’s a 40% chance of no snow at all, shouldn’t they say like “0 to 5 inches of snow expected”?
