At today's prices, this works out to under 400K units.  Hardly a resurgence. Posted by Philip Emmanuele, March 2013

March Madness

Some fun facts, but I doubt them all because the odds of a perfect bracket are actually 1 in 9.2 quadrillion, not 1 in 35 billion. Posted by Philip Emmanuele, March 2013

I actually vote for alien invasion. At least it could be cool to watch for a few minutes, before they do their deed. Posted by Philip Emmanuele, March 2013

Car Chases

The best all-time car chase was indeed "The French Connection." And sad to read that 3 Aston Martins were killed in the making of "Casino Royale." I will make no comment on "The Fast and The Furious" series. Posted by Philip Emmanuele, March 2013

Flouridation

General Jack D. Ripper: Mandrake, do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, Mandrake, children's ice cream.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: [very nervous] Lord, Jack.
General Jack D. Ripper: You know when fluoridation first began?
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: I... no, no. I don't, Jack.
General Jack D. Ripper: Nineteen hundred and forty-six. 1946, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.
