Shear genius!

Being brought up on classical music and listening to Motown as a tween, Rhapsody in Blue was as strange to me as Frank Zappa. While its mother was classical, the father seemed more show tunes than jazz. It was only later that I understood that it was both the period at the end of one and the capital letter to start the other.

We can add the Metro-2 to good places for an evil lair.

I had wondered why no one had up-styled a Segway. At $4,000 it is just about the same as a standard model.

Somehow I do not think that volunteering for a makeover and being made to look ridiculous thrilled everyone. I only counted five (or so) out of the twenty in the video.

I dare say that Cinerama failed because the only good film that used it was How The West Was Won. The rest relied only on video sensationalism and that just not enough.

While Slater's tells fibs about using "bacon" in their patties, their chicken sandwich is the best I have ever eaten.

Ah! Another in the much appreciated "Evil Lair" series.

I am more interested in the McArdle Maneuver from Kate & Allie.

How telling! The NCAA started out as a group of greedy, collegiate executives who placed a veneer of safety on football so as to keep it from being banned.

Nice addition to Sherman Holmes. I see a book of short stories in the future. Perhaps a movie with both characters as well as the inevitable, female, teenage sleuth.

Forts like this one are designed to protect what is valuable. It would only take a few people needing limited skills to defend against attack. Knowing that family is safe has bolstered the morale of many an army.

While the average lifespan has been increasing, the age of longest lived humans has decreased. That is because we have more reliable information. I predict that the average lifespan of someone who reaches the age of 30 will plateau at 90-95.
