Thanks Garg, but I am worried if I bought it, the delivery guys would mess up where I wanted it dropping and squash my roses.

@CWO:

Here’s an odd historical footnote to the Syria situation, involving yesterday’s vote by the House of Commons on British Prime Minister David Cameron’s motion to authorize the principle of military strikes by Britain against Syria.  The “principle” part was a watering down of what Cameron originally wanted, which was the actual authorization to use force, but Cameron’s motion was nevertheless defeated by 285 votes to 272.  Cameron thus became the first British Prime Minister in 231 years to lose a Parliamentary vote on military action, the last one being Lord North, who, in 1782, saw Parliament vote against further fighting in the American Revolution and thus effectively concede independence to the American colonies.

Well I never! Good to know. Thanks again Marc.

All the other animals died in hours breathing that air. It caused the lungs to liquefy. Humans lived in homes that had poor insulation and they had to cover up with wet towels and many died. Thats black cloud moved at 60 MPH and just made the day into night. The jackrabbits were able to survive on very dry conditions, while all the natural predators died off, creating a huge population rise. Entire counties were covered in jackrabbits running around. Its on the History Channel and its a must see. I could not believe how bad it was back then.

The locusts arrived because all the animals that ate them also died ( birds etc…) SO it was the same for other bugs like Centipedes and spiders… just showed up 10 fold and stung children and old people to death.

They said it covered the eastern half of USA is 1/4 inch dust, plus the Atlantic on the worst day called “black Sunday”

To me, chili does not include spaghetti.  That’s just a Yankee thing to do.  :-)

Last night I watched House on FOX with my wife and teenager.  DIAGNOSIS : Bubonic Plague

This morning I awaken to the news that a case of Bubonic plague has beeen diagnosed in CA!!

I heard on local radio that this is the second time since the show started that House pulled a “We called it immediately before it happened!” storyline.

I like this show as it has unlikeable characters…House, Wilson, Cutty …

Last nights eppisode also covered different moral outlooks in medical and personal beliefs.
Bravo! Brava!

Last night I mentioned to my wife that House doesn’t have as much of the characters’ social lives as a lot of the other “Medical Center” shows.

Now that was a flashback!  I haven’t thought of that show in 30+ years.

Jefe - you are right about that. For the most most part MSNBC is DREADFUL,
but their war coverage was pretty good. David Bloom’s reports were otstanding it was a shame he died. In general
Fox news is the absolute bes news on Cable.
Fox news.com is excellent too , but I like News max a little better!

Yeah, there are different ways to make that cut.
Some say Columbus, some say Fall of Byzantine…. I don’t think that you can make that up on one event. It happened around 1500, that’s good enough for me :)
