This is one of those    columns.)  <\/p>\n<p>    All right, so after writing about lots of serious stuff in the    preceding columns of 10 x 10 x 10, theres room for a little    fun. Isnt there?  <\/p>\n<p>    Because I know that my readers are sophisticated people with    varied interests they have certainly been following     the news about WikiLeaks and this weeks document    dump.It seems the WikiLeakers (or whatever    theyre called) have released thousands more words about how    the CIA operates and obtains important information, such as how    Charles Barkleys mouth has a high-tech ability to never shut    up.  <\/p>\n<p>    Just kidding. That information was not in the latest    document dump. But I wish it were, among other things.    Such as? Well, Ive got a long list. If WikiLeaks can    find any of this stuff, I promise to send them a donation equal    to one-million millionth of Brock Osweilers contract.  <\/p>\n<p>    Heres the partial list. Please, WikiLeaks. We are relying you    to find all this  <\/p>\n<p>     Sonny Grays previously indestructible latissimi dorsi.  <\/p>\n<p>     Steph Currys stamina. Hes going to need it over the next    three months. And right now, he seems to be dragging.  <\/p>\n<p>     Matt Cains arm from 2012. If its found, imagine how strong    the Giants rotation will be.  <\/p>\n<p>     College basketball fever in the Bay Area. Sure, it might rise    up if St. Marys goes on a NCAA tournament run. But the most    consistently ignored best sports action in Northern California    can be found in the gyms and arenas in Moraga as well as at    Cal, Stanford, USF, Santa Clara and San Jose State. For a    change, not one of them has been terrible this season. And    there are always good seats available.  <\/p>\n<p>     Sanity on Twitter.  <\/p>\n<p>     Joe Thorntons razor.  <\/p>\n<p>     Brent Burns teeth.  <\/p>\n<p>     Patrick Marleaus birth certificate. He cant be 37 years old    and still skate so fast, can he?  <\/p>\n<p>     The Raiders secret strategy to make it seem as if they are    courting Las Vegas only to turn around and tell Oakland fans:    We were just kidding! Were not really leaving!  (We    can only wish.)  <\/p>\n<p>     Aldon Smiths common sense.  <\/p>\n<p>     The report from Bud Seligs Blue Ribbon Panel that was    supposed to examine all the elements of the As ballpark    situation in Oakland and San Jose but after four years vanished    into thin air  along with the panel, apparently. Anyone seen    those guys lately?  <\/p>\n<p>     Kyle Shanahans backpack. No wait. He found that. Now    he just needs to stuff some talented players onto the roster    inside of it. The current free agent signings are a decent    start. But the college draft must provide assistance, too.  <\/p>\n<p>     The end of the bar at Avaya Stadium. (Inside joke: Its an    oval bar stretching practically the width of the goal line,    which means a tipsy Earthquakes fan could walk an entire circle    around it and not fall down if the tipsy fan holds on well    enough.)  <\/p>\n<p>    Draymond Greens chill pills. The temper flashes    are okay during the regular season. They cant happen in the    playoffs. The Warriors need him for seven games in the finals,    not six. As we saw last year.  <\/p>\n<p>     And, thats right, a Charles Barkley muzzle.  <\/p>\n<p>    Your suggestion here.
