Anyone who knows how important dancing is to Judaism can't be offended. We even dance with the Torah every year when we finish reading it. Plus, the video reminds me of an acquaintance who lost an arm in a car wreck a few summers ago, and now goes to Hallowe'en parties dressed as a zombie.

Fight Club? Great movie, great twist. But the tone of the movie doesn't really change. We've known all along that the main character is goofy.
Made it, too... 56000-plus words or so (215 words per page, 264 handwritten pages, haven't typed past about page 130 or so). Working on another one, now, at the same 2K rate.

It's almost like they deliberately wanted to skew the numbers. Of course, when I mentioned this problem to my wife, she responded by saying 'you never do any of those things anyway' but still...
