To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Bees scare me. :(
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Does anyone know of a better word than commemorative for something to do with an anniversary of an event?
Commemoration to me just sounds....kinda related to something having died. Has a somewhat somber sound.

Just adds to it really. Those words also carry the sad distinction.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

According to a recent representative poll in Austria:

19% are interested in politics (2004: 26%)
48% keep up somewhat with the main headlines (2004: 48%)
33% don't care about/follow politics at all (2004: 19%)
Well, it makes sense.  Why would you care about politics when scumbag lawyers will just destroy anything you try and improve.

Btw, another study shows that the loss of interest is much higher among academics.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
