Key word: our. My family didn't have one of these monstrous CRTs some of you have mentioned. I was able to lift them unaided.

Hey Eddie I was only citing my own experience. I did not mean to imply you had a hard time moving CRTs around.

Do you even lift bro?

What do you consider monstrous?  Even a 25" CRT TV was bulky and heavy to move.  I have one sitting right next to me in my basement that I haven't bothered to get rid of yet :D

I don't think our CRTs were any heavier than our current flat screens. Course, the screen was much smaller.


You must have a very heavy flat screen.

Jeez Scotland is big.
And not just look at a map and go gosh that's big big.
It takes forever to get anywhere with the mountains and small windy roads.
I  now understand far more how the highlanders view Edinburgh as just as foreign as England.

I like this headline: "Move over, Florida man: Woman pulls gator from pants"

Official torch-lit night events are still the rage in Germany:

[spoiler]Ursula von der Leyen leaves the German ministry of Defense for the European commission, so she gets to pick the music played by the Bundeswehr band in her honour. For the troglodytes, it's Wind of Change by Scorpions.[/spoiler]

PS: link fixed. Works for me at least.

QuoteThe second wishful title of the Serenade "Wind of Change" was removed from this video because of expected copyright claims and set as an exclusion: https://youtu.be/j899_fNn_Ng
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Comic nerds to me.
Is it ever mentioned what happens to spidermans used webs?
Especially those normal versions of spiderman where its industrial cable.
As he swings through New York a lot of it must be left behind dangling. Seems dangerous. Messy at least.
It strikes me there must be a team specially employed to follow spiderman around and clean up the used webs.

Think of how many people must get splattered by that just innocently walking down the street.
