I remember that day, but every eleventh of September afterwords has resulted in a completely lack of excitement compared to the original. At least they burn shit in Britain on November 5th.
That’s one thing I’ve never quite understood. One on hand, everyone wants the US to stay out of their business. On the other, everyone complains if we don’t do something to help. Anyone else sending shitpiles of aid into the African continent lately?
People want the US to help because many of the problems ailing the world are as a direct result of their actions. what everyone wants is for the US to clean up its mess and go home. NOW.
The real issue is that when the US goes in to try to help a country, they don’t do enough. They help to kill a bunch of people (terrorists, communists, etc.), are involved in a lot of destruction in that country, and then they just go home. If the US government actually cared about helping these places, then they’d devote resources to rebuilding, not just killing the bad guys.
The thought occured to me that 30+ years worth of pigeon poop in various crevasses and service ducts is a whole lot of white phosphorus just waiting to be ignited by… oh, I dunno… a bunch of burning jet fuel…
Or maybe the 1993 bombing was a failed attempt to trigger a fail safe system of thermite any responsible engineer would put in a bunch of giant towers stacked up like dominoes just waiting to be knocked into each other if one fell sideways for any reason.
The first is possible, the second would account for the lack of public investigation into the collapse.
Can’t have everyone knowing Manhattan is rigged to explode just in case…
Is there a prize for explaining Brexit?
I can do that.

My calculator comes up with .82
July 30, 2010
mine gives me 0.818181818. yours rounded properly, Cat’s didn’t.
and Fren, I hear you on that one.

Actually, Cat’s isn’t rounded at all. The line above the numbers means that it’s a repeating decimal.

I think the bar above 0.81 suggests that it’s a repeating decimal ;)
