    What is a war?

    War is defined as an active conflict that has claimed more than 1,000 lives.

    Has the world ever been at peace?

    Of the past 3,400 years, humans have been entirely at peace for 268 of them, or just 8 percent of recorded history.

    How many people have died in war?

    At least 108 million people were killed in wars in the twentieth century. Estimates for the total number killed in wars throughout all of human history range from 150 million to 1 billion.

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

                  Every time you post that it brings me right back to high school Latin class.

                  Taught by Brother Floyd, he could knock you right out of your seat with a backhand.

                        Indeed I did.

                        How about:

                        plectrologium or Computatrum tincidunt
