We have all those Stooges shorts on DVD here. Regularly watched as well. The Moronia shorts are among of favourites.
Our teen loves those oldie comedies. Just last evening we watched Another Thin Man with William Powell and Myrna Loy. Shemp Howard from the Stooges appears in it uncredited. My son found the whole series of 6 movies on the net and downloaded them onto DVD. We also have all Marx Brothers movies as well some Buster Keaton, Abbott and Costello and Laurel and Hardy.
Am trying to talk him into down loading some Borgart/Bacall film noirs.

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

I was in Dallas a couple of years ago. Here is the view from the window where President Kennedy was shot. It was a lot closer than I thought it was. I always thought it was a super long distance, but it wasn't really.

All hail the Bar-Tailed Godwit!
This bird is a champion flyer and once again an individual has broken the world record for the longest continual flight.
This week a juvenile godwit just 5 months old landed in Ansons Bay in northeast Tasmania, Australia. It had been tagged in Alaska and departed there on October 13, 2022 before flying non-stop to Tasmania.
Godwits are regular visitors to Tasmania so it’s likely that many undertake a similar flight but it's the first time a tagged bird has flown between Alaska and Tasmania.
This bird flew a minimum of 13,560 km in 11 days 1 hour, that’s an average of over 51kmh continually for those 11 days. And don’t forget there will be no eating, drinking or sleeping during that journey!
