Or very small ones. Or very long ones.

Statue? Have you never heard of taxidermy?

Also a dog, a cat, a hamster, a bunny rabbit, a frog...

I like Ike.

Of course there was plenty of nuance and most of the Germans werent rabid Nazis, and of course the Allies also commited war crimes.

The same bigots who fought the war later passed the tremendous civil righs legislation of the 1950s and 60s.

There's been a lot of change over the years, though. Many, if not most, of the big industrial families of the last 2 centuries are descended from ordinary people, and during the middle ages well-to families would typically only maintain their affluence for only a few generations. The only people who really have been…

Wasn't that just Graham Bell and Mr. Burns?

This is just one long-lasting neon light out of the many thousand that did not last nearly as long. Chances are at least one of new-fangled LED lights will also see 77 years, even if 99.999% of them don't.

Hmm. No sound of an old radio, a movie projector, an old car motor, a type-writer, a telegraph machine, a (real) telephone operator, a phonograph? Don't the adults of today also want to be taught the sounds of yesteryear? Or is it only the children of the digital world who are ignorant?

Oh, that was by some fellow called "Matt Honan". This one's by Jesus Diaz. Doesn't Jesus Diaz outrank Matt Honan? Bye bye Matt Honan, then.
