Galveston has other haunted restrooms, the most famous of which was in a Mediterranean restaurant on the Strand that featured a male ghost that liked to follow women into the Ladies room. Hurricane Ike ended its reign of terror in 2008.
So very true. You would think that watching it in the comfort of your own living room would lessen the fright factor but it did not. I can still remember holding my pee in until after the movie was over because the bathroom was upstairs...in the dark. No way, Jose'!!! I'd rather suffer.
It was really a very well made and for the most part scary movie for its time. I watched it as a kid back in the 60s when local television stations would run "scary" movies late on Saturday night. Scared the crap out of me....so much so it gave me the willies to go swimming in our local lake.
I think the same goes for in person. I'm growing out my hair colour so I can get it cut short and maybe live with the grey/salt & pepper for a while. Everybody I've mentioned it to is horrified. I'm not sure why, but being the contrary person I am, I'll be sticking with the grey for a while even if I don't like it. :)
I worked at Cornell University for more than 4 years in entomology research. I was involved in raising Asian Long Horned Beetles. I'm not afraid of spiders as such. Just don't really care for them. Feel the same way about cockroaches.
I remember a number of frustrations dealing with the DE-9/DB-9 connector shown there in the middle. Even when used for serial communications, some cables only connect pins 2,3 and 9, while others did the full set of pins, and sometimes you needed to have pins 2 and 3 swapped while for other uses you did not.
Great story on this bridge in the WSJ a while back. They can't raise it because of the railroad tracks. They also can't lower the road. It is what it is and the video site which kinda started as a joke is now world famous.
