It is a little known fact that in the late 1940s this man vacationed in the Bikini Atoll.  Later he ran into some trouble with his Summer Home in Bhopal, India (though he later said that was a change of pace).  His retirement to the Ukraine, north of Kiev had some later problems as well.

:lol:

Also, did you know he had a timeshare on Three Mile Island?

Considering he's 93 years old, it obviously didn't do his longevity any harm.  :lol:

Further proof that having to travel for work sucks ass.

My only business trip to date was lovely.

The more business travel you do, the less you will like it. Or at least, that is the experience of most people.

I opted out of what would have been my second business trip : to New Jersey. :x

Yeah, somehow it couldn't compete with the first trip : to NYC. :o

I know it's fashionable to bash nuclear weapons but this is ridiculous. Modern weapons are many times more powerful than the pitiful little firecrackers that hit Japan. What other technology gets judged by its failures 60+ years ago?

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.

Not all of New Jersey is a toxic, overdeveloped hellhole.  Parts of it are actually near-wilderness, and it has very nice beaches.

Kinda like how all you ignoramuses stereotype Kentucky as an inbred backwoods Deliverance-style nightmare... that only describes the eastern and southeastern third of the state  :mad:

What I got from your post: It is true, places like New Jersey and Kentucky should be avoided like a plague by people with even a measure of self-respect.

Would that be an accurate summation?

New Jersey also has 3,000 black bears.
