It's not so bad with a little bit solace here and there. Hope you have some fun around! :hug:

For old people here, Larry Storch is 98 today!

Yes, terrible images of Native Americans but ... it was a 1960s sitcom.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Chief Wild Eagle explains how the tribe got its name: "Many moons ago, tribe leave Massachusetts because Pilgrims ruin neighborhood! Tribe travel west, over stream, over river, over mountain, over mountain, over river, over stream! Then come big day... tribe fall over cliff. That when Hekawi get name. Medicine man say to my ancestor, "I think we lost. Where the heck are we?".[15] "Where the heck are we?" became "We're the Hekawi" (the original name for the tribe in the series, 'Fugawi', was changed after the censors discovered the sentence "Where the Fugawi?"[27]).

I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol, it doesn't move me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you

Yeah, I get a kick out of you

Ethel's confusion is fair, given how there are Jews in India. How F-Troop ended up there is anyone's guess.

That sounds wrong
Silvedania, the majestic nation.
NS Stats are mostly accurate except for a few things, like this nation is capitalist and the death penalty isn't in effect

News:All trade with Crabaiaia and Pikala has stopped as diplomats meet in Trenaka.  Silvedanians are confused by Quentin Tarantulatino's new film, Seasonal Snackbox(This is a Bojack Horseman reference.) Weird song goes viral for making no sense.

Ahh, since I got a B. Sci in Data Analysis and Minor in AI, perhaps maybe just that. It doesn't have to be Skynet levels, just something intelligent enough to help out people (be it employers, or users) on a regular basis.
