        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            Ten examples of prohibited baby names reportedly include King, Queen, Jesus Christ, III, Santa Claus, Majesty, Adolf Hitler, Messiah, the symbol @ and 1069.

            I went to high school with a guy named King. He set the state scoring record in basketball, so it worked for him.

                  The “how” is interesting, but the “why” is the real mystery.

                  I think you'd get it if you walked underneath it.

                  It would certainly elicit a gut level response, one way or another. Much like a roller coaster.

                    Mildly Interesting: Copper Edition

                    On September 30th, 1956, During A Drunken Argument In A New York City Bar, A Man Named Thomas Fitzpatrick Claimed He Could Fly An Airplane From New Jersey To New York In Under 15 Minutes

                    To prove himself, Fitzpatrick left the bar, stole an airplane from a New Jersey airfield at 3am, flew without lights or radio completely intoxicated, and landed the airplane in the street in front of the bar.

                        It’s not a painting or a photograph. It’s a recently discovered waterfall in Peru, named Bride waterfall. See the beauty of nature!

                                      I had breakfast with my parish priest a few months ago. He told me that in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia post Covid Mass attendance is 12% of what it was before the lockdown.

                                      The bishops closed the churches and told everyone to not go to Mass, and 88% of the Catholic still haven't returned.

                                          I had breakfast with my parish priest a few months ago. He told me that in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia post Covid Mass attendance is 12% of what it was before the lockdown.

                                          The bishops closed the churches and told everyone to not go to Mass, and 88% of the Catholic still haven't returned.

                                          Wow. And this graph shows a 40 trend and stops well before Covid.

                                          You were warned.
