The best diners I’ve ever eaten at were owned by little old Greek people. I used to go to one in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and the little old lady who owned it would pinch my arm and tell me to eat more because I was too skinny. I still miss that place.

Yep, pizza was my grandma’s favorite food when she was a little girl and she was born in 1927. She was Italian American and grew up in New Jersey. The best part was her mom used to make extra dough and fry up the extra, then they’d eat it hot out of the pan with jam. They called it pizza fritta.

Yeah, I don't recall ever not knowing they were for planes. Some kids are just more curious than others and I must have asked what they were for. Or I knew the long standalone red beacons were for planes, and just figured the ones on top of building were for the same purpose.

That is a completely false equillancy. Shame on you and shame on your warped brain for defending such ridiculous behaviours.

Don't Muslims believe the Planet is flat as when I worked in Oman was informed that Pilots had to sign a form/document that they acknowledged the Planet wasn't flat !

There is a video out there of a seagull swallow a whole, grown rabbit.

Out of curiosity, what did you previously think their purpose was?

I caught that one on Netflix last night and had to rewatch. It shows it's age pretty hard. Still enjoyed it.

Pick a direction in which you believe Earth should be, even if that is the direction of where the wormhole was. Problem solved.

Reply to comment by pohatu771 in TIL Australian band, Men At Work were sued over their song "Down Under" for similarities to an Australian nursery rhyme "Kookaburra". by El-Hairy
Wagner wasn't as much of a Nazi as the Nazis made him out to be. That's the risk of art, if you make something public property (even with licenses) someone will take it to an extreme. The English St George's flag suffers a similar fate. Is the family of St George going to start chasing the EDF?
