    It’s fascinating that in the 1920s a man who was going to walk out on beams on an impossibly high skyscraper would wear a tie and dress shoes.

    Man we suck compared to that generation.

    Only non-witches get due process.

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

              Hmm, I will have to think about that. I read somewhere that there are now more people alive than ever have died.

              For example

                            @Horace that's awesome. I love the look she gave him at the end.

                            I was only joking

                                  Have you been there?

                                  I have.

                                  Probably the closest you can get to what Hell smells like.

                                  When I was there, there was a decent layer of snow on the ground. ...Except for the patches where the sulfur was heating up the ground, which was about half the town. That was bare.

                                  Please love yourself.

                                          Of the top 20 cities by population I have only been to NY.

                                          And for some reason I don't care if I never see the other 19.

                                          Cairo or Istanbul might be interesting.

                                          That makes me wonder how many of the 20 have been featured in a James Bond film.
