To remind that uppity bridge that it isn't so special, I guess.

Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.
The Parkus Empire: Being serious on NSG is like wearing a suit to a nude beach.
New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.

Well, the fact that it's still standing in an active seismic region is an accomplishment hey?

Though small potatoes compared to ancient wonders like the world's largest freestanding dome (Hagia Sophia) which have likewise done the same.

Who doesn't love a trip through scenic downtown Richmond? Make sure to roll down the windows to get that fresh oil refinery smell.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

The occasional note of off-topic humour is perfectly excusable. Posts poking fun at the bizarre nature of Kafka/IM's unconventional OPs are common, given the fact that they inherently attract more comedy than serious discussion. You don't seriously believe that any of his threads have been derailed by similar remarks, do you?
