I did a similar thing for my dogs. I'd finished building a workshop/summer house at the bottom of the garden and had some materials left over, so I built a matching kennel for the dogs in miniature, even to the shingles on the roof. To this day neither of them has so much as put a nose through the entrance.

If you're already clean it's great. If you're not, you'll be writhing around in dirty water until it all washes away. I can't imagine many people have ever had a shower and thought 'I wish I could lie down while I was doing this' - the shower experience is surely one where you are refreshed/cleaned from head to toe. There are showers with multiple jets which spray most of your body as you stand, but again the water drains away down to your feet.

Isn't this just like posting 'First!' on a video or blog?

Even if you were first, your experience is not in any way better or worse than anyone else's. Being first to see it on a particular day would not be, I would hope, what would make a view of Machu Picchu a memorable experience, at least not for me.

I wonder if it would be legal to make older people pay MORE than younger people. "Sorry, you're old, you have to pay an extra 5%". Saying it that way it doesn't sound nice at all, but in effect this is what is being said to everyone else: "Sorry, you're young, so you have to pay an extra 5%". It's discrimination, surely. Seen from that perspective it's actually a tax on younger people... which is fine because nobody actually looks at it that way :)

To be honest, I like the idea of senior citizen discounts - I like not being old enough to benefit from them, and I also like the idea that when I'm that old I will save money. Win!

At the end of his post he lists three books which 'do a pretty good job of conveying strong, capable female characters'. Clicking the links, I imagined him striking the poses for those books too, and the mental images were equally disastrous. So what exactly is the point he's making?

Possibly this one: balding bearded man discovers he doesn't have the physique to be a cover model.

Someone who used to live on Crete but moved away: an ex-Cretian. That may not be an official one, however. Amnesia has a Greek origin, but I can't remember if it's related to a myth or not :)

Amazing. It's almost impossible for your mind to watch something like that and not accept that it's all real, assuming that they've found some well-preserved period locations. Things like the ships you'd probably guess at being CGI, but not most of the other stuff. Directors must have to be real visionaries these days - the backdrops for 90% of what they are shooting aren't anywhere close to the end results, so the planning and storyboarding must be monumentally detailed and precise.
