      People are coming up with so many ingenious ways to entertain themselves during quarantine, I can't imagine that we don't have the ingenuity to fix the mess.

        Now children everywhere will grow up not believing in cinder block magic. Great job George.

            Side story: I knew a girl in Taiwan who worked in a pub. She was a mountain person (native tribe to Taiwan) who had darker skin, who really liked that song (Black Magic Woman).

            Anyway, I saw today that the guy who wrote that song just died. And his group (Fleetwood Mac) did not make it famous. It was famous by somebody else.

                The stupid moa bird went extinct for two clear reasons:

                1. It was flightless.
                2. It did not believe in cinder block magic. @Horace amirite

                  Yep. People call me alarmist when I warn of the existential risk of not believing in cinder block magic. But the sad tale of the Moa species should be a reminder to us all.

                    No kidding. The other day some kid made a comment doubting cinder block magic, and I was like "Bro, you're about to go the way of the moa!"

                      Close but no cigar. The Moa bird went extinct because Christopher Columbus’s brother sailed a different route and made it much further. Thanksgiving looked very different in New Zealand.
