Wow! 96 and still driving!
My granddad's 92(?) and still drives. He would ski downhill and ice scate until his doctor made him stop around his 88th birthday due to worsening osteoporosis and fall injury concerns; not because he was no longer physically able to do so.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

I see that the world media is portraying the USA as having a huge melt down over the verdict in Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case. Just so you know, yesterday in my home town I went for a long walk, had a Margarita on the front porch of my uncle's home, and played video games with my daughter. There was an up-ended garbage can downtown - possibly the result of some violent protest - but most likely up-ended by my neighbor, Mrs. Eire, aged 96, who has tendency to bump into things with her 1989 Oldsmobile. I didn't meet anyone who had any clue as to what was going on with that case. In short, most of America doesn't care and most of America looks on with utter amazement as cesspools like L.A. and NYC descend into violence at every opportunity. Bear in mind that these are the two locations in our country that people go to when they want to establish an acting career - over acting is what they do. So I propose we make a deal: I suggest that I won't believe the news outlets when they find Euro-scum and portray human debri as representative of some vast movement across the pond if you'd return the same courtesy. Thanks.

oh I wish for a Volcano base, all that green geothermal energy (strangely its green tax free despite kicking out horrendous amouts of green house gass) I have to make do with a secret cellar in an old wherehouse .. oh .. no ... wait a minute, I didn'y mean that... nothing to see here, I certainly dont have a secret base and its certainly not in a wherehouse.. so sir, not me (walks away tunelessly whistling)
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.
You keep your thieving mitts off my Secret Volcano Base! I'll have you know my World Destroying Laser is almost fully operational, and I have bypassed the meter so there is no bill to concern myself with...

Until I was 20yrs. old I thought the leading cause of death in Europe was getting trampled at a soccer match.

Are you now telling me that isn't true? Have you seen youtube?!! :)

It is -- except that it's called football, because it involves interacting with a ball using only one's feet (hence the trampling being particularly apropos).

Remember a few years ago (2005?) when there were some riots in the suburbs of Paris and some other bigger towns in France ? That was broadcasted as "civil war in France" on every US TV channel, some of them showing tanks (?!) and barricades. Actually, this was a very peaceful couple of days. I had a couple days off and only heard about the whole thing two days after it was over. Tlak about media covering...

I just thought it was the Americanism for the proper spelling. There are a fair few so it's easy to make that mistake!
I saw it as a sign of solidarity -- I mean, we British have to hate the French by law, so it's nice to see our Leftpondian brothers supporting it.

There are laws about paying your meter bill. There are no laws about building a world destruction laser in a secret volcano lair.

I live in Florida about 3 hours from Tampa and to be honest I didn't know the verdict until someone told me. Traffic was light today, there was a mild cold rain all weekend.
