Did I just read that?



"'Girls can do unimaginable things:' Conference inspires Utah girls to pursue STEM careers" (https://www.ksl.com/?sid=46196691&nid=148&title=girls-can-do-unimaginable-things-conference-inspires-utah-girls-to-pursue-stem-careers)

Sounds like someone needs to learn a little bit about connotation....

 

In more context: "Clara said if a boy told her math and science and engineering was just for boys, she would "get really mad." "Girls can do unimaginable things," she said, smiling."  

So girls doing math and science and engineering is so rare that it's never even been imagined? It's unimaginable?

Sad state girls are in these days if that's true.

Did I just read that?

KSL must have a new headline writer. They've had good headlines for a long time, and now they're good in an entirely different way.  (from ksl.com home page and https://www.ksl.com/?sid=46191622&nid=157)

"Hunter dies after tree falls on him while sleeping"

This is what you get when trees sleep. Sleepwalking (sleep falling?) trees can be dangerous. Stay away.
