In case you never heard it - it goes a little something like this - little robbers are on my mind little robbers going steal you blind if you don't watch out. Take my suitcase from my back put it down and it don't come back. - little robbers. Little robbers are every where little robbers they don't care little robbers just sit there and go ya ya ya they go ya ya ya they go ya ya YA. Cheers! less

Mine were these two, a Ford Mustang and an Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, the latter being the worst of the pair.
The Mustang was my first and last sports car. I found it to be slung way too low for my preferences, the way the driver’s seat was designed was far too “laid back” and could not be adjusted differently, much too restrictive field of visibility, too difficult to be seen by other drivers. I learned that sports cars are not my choice, and I have shied away from them ever since.
When I was growing up, my stepfather always said that a car is nothing but a hole to throw money into, and 15 years later, I had to agree with that sentiment because I became the owner of the Olds. It had so many mechanical problems that I called myself a member of the Part-of-the-Month-Club. I poured so much mo... less

Did he hate blacks and Jews? Or are these typical malicious lies we like to tell about great men so we don't have to feel so unaccomplished?

Then I read that this movie trailer, according to the article, caused some people to run out of the theaters to vomit and supposedly caused some to have seizures. Whether or not you've seen the movie - - (I have) - - this is one scary trailer!! Just moments ago was the first time I've seen it.
(And it features Schifrin's music, which I like, too)

The prospect of China becoming the workshop of the world is, perhaps, too remote to contemplate, but that China may be someday a formidable competitor in things mechanical is worth a passing thought." The date? 1904. (ref. ME&E Vol.XI No. 179; 29 Sept. 1904.)Particularly prescient for the magazine's modern readers, since most of the small lathes and other machine-tools now sold to model-engineers are made in either Taiwan or the People's Republic... less

This question requires an explanation. Some background: I don’t know how or why, but for some reason, I was thinking about the thinness of our eyelids (humans). It made me wonder if they represent the thinnest outward portion of skin on the human body, and I further wondered if eyelids are not the thinnest, where is the skin that’s even thinner? ~

More than a decade ago, I had an email address that I stopped using for a while, and when I finally went back to it, I had forgotten the password. When I had originally set it up, I had not assigned it any secondary email or other feature for retrieving forgotten passwords, so there was no way to get back to it and eventually I had to give up.
