Solstice celebration was here before haikus, of course, if you mean in the western world. Solstice it self has been here for at least 5 billion years.  :smarty:

Look fellow. I'm going to point out the obvious. Humans have not been around but for a few thousand years.  :orly:

What does that have to do with anything? The solstice is an astronomical fact.  8)

I've just posted a meaningless response to the "Post A Useless Fact"  thread.

According to the Poor Mans James Bond book the discoverer of NitroCellulose T.J. Pelouze was sitting at home in the kitchen mixing sulfuric and nitric acids and spilled them on the table. He quickly wiped up the mess with the table cloth and rinsed it out thoroughly and set it on top of the stove to dry so his wife wouldn't find out, but the heat set it off and blew up the kitchen. I have not been able to find independent verification of this and Kurt Saxon has been known to be FOS at times.

Kurt's right in this respect, though.

A German driving license is for life - the same license.

... and I can think of several other reasons to disallow their input from our legal processes.

I think most states in this union are too lax in their licensing. Not only personal licenses, but the actual roadworthiness of peoples'  cars should be more strict.


Every single fucking day, I see someone driving who should have had to prove-up before taking the fucking wheel!!  Driving is NOT a right. It is a hard-earned privilege to be maintained at personal expense!!
