Brexit wasn't done as a voting measure. It was done as a poll. Dave Cameron just said we're going to do this thing that the poll wants us to do. And then he bailed instead of seeing it through and dropping it on May, and then Johnson. Both of these people have reputations for being stupid in different ways. This is the reason that some of the Brits and Scots that I have seen online have gone back to calling Cameron a person who has sexual congress with pigs. CES

Sorry DT. I just noticed this. The Thin Man is a movie based on a book written by Dashiel Hammet, the same man who wrote the Maltese Falcon. The plot of the movie is Nick and Nora Charles are enjoying Nora's wealth while on vacation. Nick is a retired policeman who has cracked some whodunnits in his time. He's also friends with Wynant, a rich engineer. When a partially destroyed body is found in Wynant's lab, and Wynant missing, Nick is drawn into the investigation. At the end of the movie, he gathers all the suspects for a dinner so he can explain what he knows and get some answers to his remaining questions. Whenever you see Monk, or Shaun Spencer, or the detectives in Death in Paradise do something like this where the crime is laid out and the killer tricked into confessing, this is one of the first examples of it being done.

Good Luck, DT. I would to say that Boris Johnson is better than Trump, but I can't tell a lie that big CES

When DC restarted the Blue Beetle, they based him out of Chicago instead of his native Hub City. This appealed to Tracy Karr. She loved that her city had a hero that lived there and protected it. When she discovered the Book of Atum Re and recreated the Scarab of the Sun, she decided that she should be a real Blue Beetle. DC was not amused and ordered her to cease and desist using the Blue Beetle name. She took on the name Solar Scarab, but some still call her Fangirl CES

Hugh, I seem to remember you're an accountant. Is that right? How would you do taxes? CES

You missed the fifth one. Our heroes visit Nick's parents (which is totally different from the parts of the book I remember), and become embroiled in murder and espionage. At the now customary summation, Nick has all the guests searched and plenty of back up from the local cops. Nora is a little outraged at his spoiling the best part of the case for her CES

which of us? CES

I always liked the thin man. The summation at dinner has been copied by everyone, but this movie was the first that I remember seeing it used. CES

It was either that or let people die. No one had the money to save because it was the great depression. Surviving businesses weren't going to help their employees. The biggest opposition was inside the government that had already mismanaged the banking system and was trying to prevent a pull out of the depression because they didn't want to help anyone at all. It's very similar to how republicans opposed the ACA when it was based on their plan in the first place. CES

Has everyone picked everything? CES

I disagree on all of this. When Social Security started, no one wanted to pay into it. Businesses didn't want to support it. Basically FDR had to ram it through and make people like it. Same with medicare. CES

The Train Man can use the tracks of the local railroads and elevateds to get around the city. He keeps his full potential hidden so he is considered weak for not having abilities away from the tracks. No one knows of his ability to summon trains wherever he is, and that he can use that to travel on open roads or the waters of Lake Michigan CES

Five highlights for my dungeon are: 1) The Fish Tank: Numerous predatory fish are kept in a closed section of the Facility. From the Megalodon, to the Lake Placid Monster, each creature has its own space with plenty of fish to eat. Each separate section can be opened from the top but it is not recommended. 2) The Asylum: A few people have been experimented on. They have suffered mental breaks from reality. They are kept locked in and cared for by the staff so they can't use their powers and cause a breakout. That would be disastrous for both the Facility and New York City. 3) The Grimoire: The Facility has gained custody of magic using fiends/magicians/weird entities. They are kept on the other side of the Asylum in special traps and and cells. They are monitored to prevent the inmates from mixing with the Asylum across the place. 4) The Zoo: The Facility's major area is for the care of monsters and unnatural creatures that it has collected over the years. This is a major area of concern since some of the giant monsters breaking loose would naturally wreck the cells of the other prisoners. 5: Self Destruct System: If the system is breached, and there is a chance of some of the monsters and fiends escaping, the Facility can be destroyed with a mix of antimatter and nuclear fuel. It is assumed that a part of the city would just develop a sinkhole and part of the harbor would be radioactive. No one knows. CES
