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

    For example

                        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.

                                  @Copper I’ve been to 8, and lived in 3.

                                  Cairo is the only other I’d prioritize anytime soon.

                                        Idiot, imbecile, and moron were, not so long ago, used in a psychological classification system, and each one was assigned to a fairly specific range of abilities.

                                        Idiots. —Those so defective that the mental development never exceeds that or a normal child of about two years.
                                        Imbeciles. —Those whose development is higher than that of an idiot, but whose intelligence does not exceed that of a normal child of about seven years.
                                        Morons. —Those whose mental development is above that of an imbecile, but does not exceed that of a normal child of about twelve years.
