	👍 6:30pm zachary: Reading club for next week. Here's the Kurt Russell article, @-жеи: www.milb.com...

	6:30pm will: Harold Lloyd's Mad Wednesday featured him driving Babe Ruth up to Yankee Stadium in a taxi. He was so excited that he couldn't keep his eye on the road.

	👍 6:54pm Sean T-Rex: They established Brains is the key from the first one.
