Cancer Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Yeah. Berlin took down the Wall and closed Tempelhof Airport, and both the structures I lived in there have been pulled down and other things built on those sites. Even Rhein-Main AFB has been closed. Yeeeesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Mind you, there's an intriguing concept there. Time flies. Insidious arthropods that draw nourishment from decay of the timestream. When your future starts to look shriveled, black, and maybe a little fuzzy, you can be sure the time flies have done a lot of damage sucking the life juices out of it. Old Man and L.

Pariah Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Chemically speaking, there's a fine line between wine and vinegar. One little oxygen atom makes quite a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 There is a rather large hair/dust bunny out in the hall (no idea where it came from). Bigger than a bunny. I want to call it a dust wombat or dust marmot. Not big enough for a dust rhinoceros, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
