Not Dr William H Cosby, EdD though 
But yeah, probably most of the others listed.
Cliff Huxtable would be okay, but not the guy who played him on TV.

Why are there pyramids in Egypt?
They were too heavy to transport to England.

Awesome craiyon.com find!
I fell over on my bike once when my right shoelace unknowingly came loose and wrapped around and around the right pedal. I fell over but was not hurt and not in the traffic lane. And you care. I can’t imagine biking with my shoe inside a cage.

Biden falling off his bike will never be funnier than Bush on (or, I guess off) the Segway
I’m sure he will want at least a “friend” as POTUS after 2024 to pardon him for any crimes he gets convicted of.
True.
I wonder how many state crimes he’s committed in Virginia and/or Maryland. May be harder to get pardoned for those.

I’ll see your anecdote and raise you one anecdote.
By pure coincidence, we bought our first house in 1976. I believe we paid $36,000. The current assessed value is $167,300. The assessor lists the condition as “above normal”. Since we were there, somebody added a deck and a pool (seriously, in Des Moines?).
If the price had gone up by the CPI (7/76 to 7/22), the price would be $186,947.
We got a 9% mortgage. Mortgage rates have averaged about 4% since 2010. The monthly P&I payment for 9% is almost 70% higher than the P&I for 4%. If we had financed 80% of the selling price, our P&I would have been $232, which is $1,200 in 2022 dollars. 80% of the current assessed price, financed at 4%,gives a monthly P&I of $638.
Note: the house was 21 years old when we bought it, it is now 67 years old, so I’m not surprised it is more affordable today.

Guessing that Michelle Cyca may live in Vancouver as her numbers track our crazy housing market pretty closely?
Living in a high-demand area will do that to housing prices. And it won’t do that in Des Moines.

Yep, the problem with anecdotes.
Note that Des Moines is not a declining rust belt place. The metro area grew by 16.7% from 2010 to 2020, compared to the US total of 7.4%. (Nope, I don’t live there anymore and I don’t work for the CC, just Googling.)
