Before you can use a weapon to kill the enemy, you have to stop killing your own people. Weapons R&D is a dangerous profession. Awarding posthumous medals does not help morale very much.

I watched the movie “House of Wax” from 1953 on Tv last night, and saw a couple of dancing dolls that looked a great deal like these. Maybe they had a career in Hollywood, after the war.

Zyklon-B - the final solution. I have heard this one before.

 No, they are gone. Johnny Rockets has copied their act, in some places.

Several of the Steak-n-Shake locations in Louisville have closed without explanation, but the local one seems to be still open. I used to eat there every week when I came to town for an exercise class.

He was very well cast in “Fatherland”, an alternate history with the Nazis winning the European WWII. He was a homicide cop, who happened into the Suppressed History of the Holocaust and blew the whistle to President Kennedy. Not our President Kennedy, but his father Joe.

The answer is other products on the website above. The real problem is decor, not people talking. Too many hard surfaces that do not absorb sound, and reflect it back into the room.

My sister and I were driving up to Michigan to see our mother. We stopped at what we thought was a Union76 truck stop, which was really a Red Lobster. This was the late 70's, when they were new.

I am more familiar with the gmail web page than the app, but it has a very useful menu item at far right, on the three dots, “filter messages like these”.

Frozen fish, brown rice, frozen broccoli (sometimes with cheese sauce). Black coffee. Healthiest diet I ever had.

I have moved from a 2300 sq.ft. suburban house to a 625 sq.ft. urban apartment. I am a Kondo devotee on alternate days, on the other days I am taking another car trip to remove more stuff from the house.

9 cents, since he is not worth a dime.

The Lord of Irony will resurrect an executed criminal after 3 days, and the criminal will tell Lynn that Jesus says she is an idiot.
