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

        When I was a kid we had this guy Newton somewhere in our school, and he made a bunch of laws.
        As I recall something about something continuing in the same direction unless a force acted upon it. So, this "author" expects me to believe that a huge mass of spinning stuff can reverse direction in just a handful of years?

              I didn’t know much about these guys, other than driving by them now and then. Interesting business model, but I’ll stick to the NY Sports Club.

                Also the more I learn about franchise models the more they seem really predatory.

                    @George-K Seems the invention of contraptions is an underappreciated piece of the moviemaking art. Someone oughta do a documentary series on that subject.

                    Education is extremely important.

                              I assume the, lucky, photographer was probably looking away from the explosion when the flash occurred. It seems like most people in that area would be, at least temporarily, blinded.

                                If i remember the story correctly, the photo (or the negative) was found in a school from where the photo was taken. Dont know what happened to the photographer.

                                  I was going to say, there’s no reason to necessarily believe that the photographer survived, let alone remained sighted.

                                      I want to be on the committee that decides these words of venery.

                                      My first nomination would be “a haggard of milfs”.

                                        My nomination for that would be "sere." It's obscure enough of a word to make people take pause and think..."What?"
