Man, thats just dumb. What always puzzles me is how they're not afraid at all, its a natural instinct to wet your pants at such heights to prevent yourself from doing anything stupid that gets you killed. I'm a mountain climber myself but I would never be able to do that......

I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

From a nice little anecdote a friend was telling me about:

 

Her 15 yr old daughter wandered into her room to ask something, paused, then did a "Mom, the drawer on that cabinet is open and it looks like your ball gag is about to fall out."

She turned around, fixed her daughter with a stare and promptly asked "How do you know what a ball gag is?"

The daughter said almost at the same time "Mom, why do you have a ball gag?"

She said there was this moment of silence as they looked at each other, and then both pretty much did a version of "This isn't a conversation we want going anywhere, lets just rewind and start over."

"Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

And the answer to both question is: "50 Shades of Grey"

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

At least the French one I think I could keep down. I'd be concerned about suicides in the field with the Scandinavian ones.

What, not enough sweets for you? =P

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

While we were shooting the s*** over Skype, a friend of mine came to a rather disturbing conclusion:

 

"I just realized I prefer eating insects (shrimp) to eating ovulations (chicken eggs)."
