Currently sitting at Posting Shark. What I want to know, however, is what kind of shark I'm supposed to be. Dogfish? Nurse? Whale? Hammerhead? Land? Goblin?

If they 'never had those bombs', then exactly what was it Saddam was using on the Kurds?

'Discuss topics (hot and otherwise)' Would this topic not count, perhaps, as one of the 'otherwise'? It is under discussion, after all.

There's a place locally (I think it's a franchise, though) called the Cold Stone Creamery, where they scoop your ice cream onto a literal cold stone (looks like it might be black marble to me, but the frost keeps me from being certain) and prepare it with sprinkles, chocolate or …
