I have salt and pepper shakers shaped like monkeys wearing fez. One of them broke, but now is mended.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Erin, tsk, tsk, tsk. don't you know that boys never leave a message, because then they can't call back again and again until you pick up or they pass out.
I'm laughing cause it's TRUE!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I need to figure out where I'm going on vacation this year.

Finger Lakes.

I've seen clouds like that in a couple of places. Usually before all hell breaks loose. Odd that they actually aren't associated with preceding storms. I guess I was just lucky. Or something.

That's the best you all can do?

Hey! It worked for my parents -- last July 4th, we're in the car with a family friend, they say "We're trying to figure out somewhere to drive for vacation," the friend said, "Finger Lakes!" And they went and loved it. What more do you need? Finger Lakes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Worst Mistake in the History of the Human Race
In particular, recent discoveries suggest that the adoption of agriculture, supposedly our most decisive step toward a better life, was in many ways a catastrophe from which we have never recovered. With agriculture came the gross social and sexual inequality, the disease and despotism, that curse our existence.
In'eresting.
One straight forward example of what paleopathologists have learned from skeletons concerns historical changes in height. Skeletons from Greece and Turkey show that the average height of hunger-gatherers toward the end of the ice ages was a generous 5’ 9" for men, 5’ 5" for women. With the adoption of agriculture, height crashed, and by 3000 B. C. had reached a low of only 5’ 3" for men, 5’ for women. By classical times heights were very slowly on the rise again, but modern Greeks and Turks have still not regained the average height of their distant ancestors.
I did not know this.

Interesting. I have often said this, but I was just spouting off.

Plus agriculture leads to overpopulation, because you need people to tend the fields.
