I'd like to see an email from Barbara Billingsley. She speaks Jive, you know.

nybble, I thought the same thing! The Rocky main theme would have worked well, too.

As an instrument of torture, that would leave a mark!

You can only see the effect when the eye moves across the image. If you stare at it steadily, it won't move. But move your eyes around it, and the words just past the edge of your best focus will seem to start waving.

Pudifoot, try reading the words individually. It looks different from when you look at the picture as a whole.

I considered posting this, but decided not to because of the autoplay. But I put up two that were eerily similar:

That is so ugly and creepy, it's fantastic!

It took me a while, but I think he may be referring to the phrase "Our God is awesome," which might seem funny to someone who's unfamiliar with Christianity. The use of "awesome" as a slang catch-all word has been in popular use for about 30 years max, but it's been used to describe God for millenia.

Or is it Jesus under the fire that's supposed to be funny?

Read up on why the Maasai are coming to England. They are raising money to build a water system for their village.

Thanks, Sultancillo! They moved the article to the editorial section. I have the link fixed now.

I don't believe the 70s were any safer. I grew up in a small town. My cohorts and I walked everywhere, except when we hitchhiked. Every one of us were, at one time or another, a victim of an attempt at what would be a crime today. I think that's why parents are so paranoid now. We learned to handle it, and we need to prepare our kids on how to handle unusual situations, too. I can't speak on the subway specifically, because I don't live in New York, but I think you have to judge the kid and how competent, knowledgeable, and fearless he/she is. In this specific situation, I think there was a much greater danger to the parents than the child.

No, that was me. I said I only MISSED one question, and it was because I'd never seen the $1000 bill. I haven't seen the other high bills, either, but I guessed them right. You can see them through the pixilation, if you squint hard enough.

There is one little detail I left out, just to see how many people would go read the linked article. It's not human placenta.

kaunes, yes, that was the one I missed!
