    Buncha wild eyed radicals came up with a manifesto back in 1776.

    Happy Birthday indeed , my fellow Americans. I'm kinda bummed that I can not fly Old Glory today, due to some physical limitations. Where would the world be today, if not for some uppity revolutionaries way back in the late 1700's?

    History of the Cherry Bomb

    I don't know how this thread became so dis-railed. I do remember the olde days when the original Cherry Bombs were hot stuff on the built or "muscle cars", saw many window or small bumper stickers on the cars of that era. They sounded dang good too.

    New Foobar2000 v1.2

    It is included in the new versions, as far as I can tell- running the latest beta version now. I ran it as an "update" and all my EQ settings look the same on the display(except the equalizer enabled button as in cheez' pic). Nice to see a few others who like it as their client as I've always...

    Best Silent Case?

    ,,,if they did, it would probably be only a bit louder than the Delta I had in a former AMD rig- I thought the case would break into a hover at any moment.

    I donated ten bucks US to them; seems a bargain even though I do not use the site all that much.

    Ancient treasure over 20 Billion $$$ found.

    I don't really understand how all these treasures were accumulated; was it all donated in the form of jewelry or coins? Was there a "goal" as far as amounts were involved? From what I can gather it would seem that there was no set amount- they just kept adding to the pile until the gods were...

    Why aren't we doing anything about Syria??

    I remember that too, Zebo; the "Hama solution"= wipe out an entire town of 10,000 people to get your point across. It seems they would like to do so again, just like daddy, with the help of the Iranians. The Turks need to stop hedging their bets against their good "friends" Assads and company...

    River Monsters with Jeremy Wade...

    Enjoy that show very much. Jeremy does not try to make himself the star of the show, rather he focuses on the local folks or the critter in question. No way in heck would I be allowing those eels to grab hold of my hand, kevlar glove or no.

    Are you signed up to be an organ donor?

    Yes, I'm on the registry. The first spinal fusion I had, used bone material from a donor, bless them so. The following operations used grafts from my self. When my time is done here I hope they can take whatever they need to help someone else.

    Murders in Chester, Pa. Prompt Emergency Curfew

    FYI, there was NEVER any LEGAL authorization issued for summary execution such as was seen in some parts of San Fransisco after the earthquake. It was purely a result of the mob mentality. Some of the biggest looters were the soldiers brought in to "quell" the looting. That aside, what a...
