Re: Jenni Lee That's an understatement!

Unfortunately, since mainstream entertainers cannot use the word "porn" in mass distributed media and this movie was called "Boogie Nights", most people seemed to think that the movie was akin to Saturday Night Fever based on the trailer. When they saw the movie, they were shocked and/or...

I'm doubting that a gold "standard" would end our woes, but I do see your point. However, I believe the longer range issue continues to be this: living beyond our means. If that be the case, then only a moderating continuation of this recession is necessary. A "great depression" will merely...

RANDOM TIDBITS Poet and novelist Jack Kerouac coined the term "Beat" in the late 1940s, but was not until the 1950s that it would become a slang term symbolizing a literary movement by writers such as Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs. The "Beat" movement rejected the social...

RANDOM TIDBITS The human head contains 22 bones, consisting of the cranium and the facial bones. The cranium is formed by 8 bones: the frontal bone, two parietal bones, two temporal bones, the occipital bone in the back, the ethmoid bone behind the nose, and the sphenoid bone. The face...

RANDOM TIDBITS The now famous tutu was first worn by Italian dancer Virginie Zucchi in 1885 at the Imperial Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia. The tutu was actually designed several years earlier by French painter Eugene Lami, in the form of a mid-calf skirt...

RANDOM TIDBITS Credit was first used in Assyria, Babylon and Egypt 3000 years ago. The bill of exchange - the forerunner of banknotes - was established in the 14th century. Debts were settled by one-third cash and two-thirds bill of exchange. Paper money followed only in the 17th century...

A wax statue is nothing, except a symbol. Removing it, to me, is akin to removing his "work" from history books. If people want to forget, say hello to the new boss - the same as the old boss...

In the interest of full disclosure, Trivia Today isn't published on weekends. Thus, I've been selecting ones from the recent past. The one which I printed yesterday interested me because it offers splendid examples of the stagnation of business leader's thinking. An early Internet...

RANDOM TIDBITS In the Middle Ages wearing spectacles signified knowledge and learning. Painters of the time often included spectacles when portraying famous persons even when depicting people who lived before the known invention of spectacles. On numerous paintings the religious teacher...

RANDOM TIDBITS The telephone was not widely appreciated for the first 15 years because people did not see a use for it. In fact, in the British parliament it was mentioned there was no need for telephones because "we have enough messengers here." Western Union believed that it could never...

On Freeones now as Amanda Blue, yet strangely no Amateur Allure links.

Yeah, I've been researching seriously for about two weeks. All three Rosetta Stone's which I want (German, French and Latin) are $300 to $600/ complete package - not bad, I feel. The Army uses Rosetta Stone software, so they have to be useful somehow. I was probably going to do some sort of...

Thanks, yoda1971.

No photo - website ******.

Any opinions on stone Rosetta software and/or Concordia Language Villages (in Minnesota)?

I agree with the first paragraph, except your view of how it is God who does those burnings, etc...man does these things, acting as sanctimonious as they are corrupt. But, for some like me, being left outside an organized system of belief ends up not making us stronger, but even more without a...

I've had this pictures from xPeeps for awhile now...:dunno:

I agree.

If y'all want, then that's my hope.

RANDOM TIDBITS Fireworks were made in China as early as the 11th century. The Chinese used their pyrotechnic mixtures for war rockets and explosives. *** Uncle Sam was first popularized during the War of 1812, when the term appeared on supply containers. Believe it or not, the U. S...

Where do you work? 4-Day work week sounds great - until continued downsizing ****** companies to make professionals (those NOT in unions) to once again do Fridays to maintain or increase productivity goals.

Thank you for writing that. Judges must not be elected or what's happened to Congress, i.e. the dead-lock unless influenced by mass fear, will occur in the Supreme Court more often. Holding positions without re-election worries allows them leeway to presumably decide cases objectively...

I don't agree with it either, but... Companies want to hire steady workers and, if you cannot steadily repay credit. They'd probably (I hope) not use it beyond being one check-mark amongst many. I am for any practice, though not maybe this one without more research, which makes hiring more...

Trying to place every piece of writing in an exact 21st century model isn't recommended. Besides, Fortune being a "woman" isn't, I think, meant literally. He's probably talking about conquering that which is the "opposite" of him. Also, remember - he is writing at a time, the 15th century...

Thanks, DrMotorCity. I hope that "Monica" has a surname, though.

Post-Stamp Act, sewing the Revolutionary seeds. What government has ever truly succeeded in over-taxing its citizens?

I dislike writing so, but I agree. I dislike writing so because it's hard for me to contemplate our government becoming truly "big *******". Absolutely and without conditions agree. An interesting point to raise: Isn't the government always treading on dangerous grounds when filing obscenity...
