  1. All of them as you never respond with facts just BS statements!
  2. This time I suggest you re read your posts and try to understand them and respond with either accuracy or proof, you never do!
  3. Isn't "Yahoo News" an oxymoron?
  4. I think you mean "may have been born in France"! To emphasise "quite probably WERE born in France" is totally misleading! You do not know if they were or were not!
  5. No wonder they have been shut down with a "Caution Tape" across the entrance! PS; couldn't the crabs escape under the tape?
  6. What does a Thesaurus eat for breakfast? A synonym roll.
  7. Maybe they had already cleared their planned take in breakfast with the owners the day before! Did you ask? The profit from their 15 beverages was probably greater than that from your breakfast!
  8. Nonsense! Edison did not invent the light bulb, he refined the design and commercialised it successfully! Historians Robert Friedel and Paul Israel list inventors of incandescent lamps prior to Joseph Swan and Thomas Edison of General Electric. They conclude that Edison's version was able to outstrip the others because of a combination of three factors: an effective incandescent material, a higher vacuum than others were able to achieve (by use of the Sprengel pump) and a high resistance that made power distribution from a centralized source economically viable.

  9. Provide the date of the circus and tie it into the date of the photo! I just did prove you wrong as you have not had time to fully read the two articles I referenced therefor I can only say you are NOT stating facts! Less than 1 minute between my post and your BS response!
  10. More misinformation from you! What you have stated is not factual but "possible" explanations that an elephant, among many other objects may have been seen in the photo and ascribed to being Nessie in the photo! As to your statement that "there was a travelling circus in town at the time" please provide a quote and a time. The nearest reference to a circus being in the area is that there was a "And perhaps not coincidentally a traveling circus featuring elephants passed by the misty lake in the 1930s at the height of the monster sightings." This is from the Washington post! Scientist suggests Nessie really a circus elephant | The Spokesman-Review Maybe try looking at some other sources; The Legend of Loch Ness | NOVA | PBS
  11. So do you now agree that this is both a restaurant and a Thai restaurant?
  12. BS! Price and timing have nothing to do with it! From the Oxford English Dictionary! restaurant n noun a place where people pay to sit and eat meals that are cooked and served on the premises. ORIGIN C19: from French, from restaurer 'provide food for' (literally 'restore to a former state').
  13. Watt do you get for scoring a bullseye apart from lots of shocking broken glass bits?
  14. Did they use the flint stones to sharpen their teeth or use them to start a fire so they could roast them!
  15. I do hope it is not the return of her/he or whatever!
  16. I agree that you are Utterly deluded. Amusing though... You've certainly chosen the correct echo chamber to post your extreme leftist irrational and unsubstantiated views and BS comments!.
  17. I want wants and do not need needs! If people want to live as cheaply as possible that is their prerogative, assuming they have the choice. I have the choice and intend to live my life enjoyably for as long as I can without counting every Satang!
  18. BS! People use weapons/objects to make the killing of others easier! It then follows that removing weapons makes people killing people more difficult!
  19. The whole world is not a single old guy with a skinflint lifestyle experience!
  20. Doing the wrong things! An American soldier, serving in World War II, had just returned from several weeks of intense action on the German front lines. He had finally been granted R&R and had made it to Southampton, England, there to board a train bound for a few days in London. The train was very crowded, so the soldier walked the length of the train, looking for an empty seat. The only unoccupied seat he found was one directly across from a well-dressed, middle-aged lady and was being used by her little dog. The war-weary soldier asked, "Please, ma'am, may I sit in that seat?" The English woman looked down her nose at the soldier, sniffed and said, "You Americans. You are such a rude class of people. Can't you see my little Fifi is using that seat?" Again he asked, "Please, lady. May I sit there? I'm very tired." The English woman wrinkled her nose and snorted, "You Americans! Not only are you rude, but you are also quite arrogant. Imagine!" The soldier leaned against the swaying wall of the train and again asked if he might please sit down. The lady said, "Not only are you Americans rude and arrogant, you're also very inconsiderate." The soldier didn't say anything else. Instead, he leaned over, picked up the little dog, tossed it out the window of the train, and sat down in the empty seat. The woman shrieked and railed, demanding that someone defend her and chastise the soldier. An English gentleman sitting across the aisle spoke up, "You know, sir, you Americans do seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You eat holding your fork in the wrong hand. You drive your autos on the wrong side of the road. "And now, sir, you've thrown the wrong bitch out the window."
  21. Scottish blood! An Arab Sheik was admitted to the hospital for heart surgery, but prior to the surgery, the doctors needed to have some of his blood type stored in case the need arose. As the gentleman had an extremely rare type of blood that couldn't be found locally, the call went out around the world. Finally a Scotsman was located who had the same rare blood type. After some coaxing, the Scot donated his blood for the Arab. After the surgery the Arab sent the Scotsman a BMW and $100,000 US dollars in appreciation for the blood donation. A few months later, the Arab had to undergo a further corrective surgery procedure. Once again, his doctor telephoned the Scotsman who was more than happy to donate his blood. After the second surgery the Arab sent the Scotsman a thank-you card and a box of Quality Street chocolates. The Scotsman was shocked that the Arab did not reciprocate his kind gesture as he had anticipated. He phoned the Arab and asked him: "I thought you would be more generous than that. Last time you sent me a BMW and money, but this time you only sent me a lousy thank-you card and a crappy box of chocolates?" To this the Arab replied: " Aye laddie, but I noo Hae Scottish blood in ma veins." (Translated; Yes my friend but I now have Scottish blood in me and am now a mean S.O.B. like all Scots!)
