Imagine what we would have lost!

'Tis a pun, chur.

"When Solomon built the first Holy Temple in Jerusalem, the menorah was lit there until that Temple was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon." (chabad.org) So much written about tradition, so little left to show.

Without photos of the different slices of real onions, this entire discussion is not just abstract, but really hard to visualise, to decide whether the beautiful constant will be constantly beautiful.

Or even elegant.

Maybe it's just going to be tears of the onion pie in the sky.

Only 2,000 years old? Why aren't there many more such, and much older?

In fact, the thing for which collision avoidance systems were designed, in order to send out alerts to human advisors.

Highly recommend the last, or the penultimate, episode of Blackadder Goes Forth, where Capt Blackadder learns exactly how Baldrick has been serving coffee in the trenches for the last two years.

How about a twig from the garden, are there reasonable discounts on offer? I might not mind a leaf from that book.

The geological map is wonderful!

It looks so much more real than the political maps. I wonder why that is.

That's very dark, which is when lamp rays…(ok, ok, I was just leaving)

Family names were, still are, often taken from places.

Even those that change from one place to another, like the hill of Batten that conveniently became a Windsor.

Thank you. I did not know that about the island (which, just to nitpick, is often taken to also include most, but not all, of the tiny islands nearby), having assumed it was an older name for the United Kingdom.

'Reporters' are not the entity that files charges for war crimes.

And in a tyranny, the biggest action is to silence the people's voices.

That leaves the standard process, JAG etc. It hasn't always worked in the past, but that doesn't mean it is more dead in the water than the crew of that boat.

Since Ireland did not seem to be clearly depicted, I guess this is not even the British Isles.

Names can be lacking, or deliberately confusing, and, since I haven't paid money for something to read the long posts, I don't even know why the mapmaker was named Paris, a dire strait away!

This explains why some people think humanism is better, a philosophy that goes beyond simple monolithic religion (because that doesn't exist, as is pretty obvious) in the management of nation-states.

Since it doesn't have wide public backing, it can't work right now.

…winning political strategy. Nevertheless, that is the top GQP plan (or concept of a plan, to quote the OB again) under consideration.

Universal Health Care must be so unbelievably complicated.

Only 29 out of the world's 30 richest countries have figured out how to make it work. 9/9

Just like the people whose house didn't burn down, these people didn't "lose" their premiums. They can be happy that they remained relatively healthy.

With the US far more unhealthy than Scandinavia, those numbers are probably different. Saying "screw the people who get sick" may not be a…8/n
