      Gibralter is an interesting place. The story I heard when I was there was that Pres. Churchill said that the British will only leave Gibralter when there are no monkey's on the mountain in Gibralter. I have hear that the government takes VERY good care of them to make sure that they dont die out. LOL

          @Horace Interesting video. There was an article where the conclusion was that humans ourselves are not getting faster - it is just the things listed in the video which has improved the speeds.

            @taiwan_girl I was surprised the difference was not greater. The world's fastest 50 year old today could probably not beat the world's fastest any year old 100 years ago.

                  Chappaqua is ~10mi north of me where the Clinton’s live.

                    Yeah they do but it took me a minute. Those flat metal pieces go through a slot in the bottom horizontal bar. If you slide either of them out you can slide the bar out. Both locks need to be secured to prevent sliding them out.

                    I think the design idea generalizes to an arbitrary number of locks.

                          Amazing how peaceful they looked, before being introduced to air. I guess it was the air that set them off.

                                      Caravaggio.

                                      The freckles look a little off this close up (though I bet they look great a little further away). But damn. Look at that detail. The little moisture in the corner of the eye. The curvature of the nostril. Amazing.
