  1. I can think of two author's, Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut who wrote pretty good stuff when they were younger. But their later work was total crap (IMHO). I suppose you could classify their later stuff as 'creative' but really, it was just crap.
  2. Not relatively. At that time the average life expectancy was around 40!
  3. Everyone is different and ages differently. Beethoven wrote the 9th Symphony when he was 52.
  4. Well, I don't really have it. I was just making a......joek.
  5. I have a nephew in law enforcement...he has the best stories in the family. When he was a kid, I remember him falling out of a hammock and crying like a little girl. Now, he busts drunk drivers, serves and executes warrants.
  6. Yeah, who knows what some dick would have posted! Oh wait, the other way around. I have dyslexia.
  7. I guess not everyone got my joke. I feel like such a giant bob. I have dyslexia.
  8. Shouldn't this be in the puns thread? (OK, technically it may not be a pun but it cries out for a home).
  9. Maybe he does it himself as a side hobby...instead of smashing hotel rooms. Look at the keywords in the metadata:
  10. Humor is an important stress reliever and coping mechanism. If we can't laugh, then the terrorists have won.
  11. Remember boys and girls, you cannot refer to the main bedroom in your home as the 'master' bedroom. Because that's racist!
  12. ...on a teletype terminal with an acoustic phone coupler!
  13. Yeah, and they kept them in rooms so freaking cold you had to wear two sweaters!
  14. Me two! (I could have used 'to' but...you know)
  15. Just make sure you are wearing your mask before you visit it.
  16. Maybe you're looking for this screen. Click the dash-down-arrow right under the '-8192'. Notes and pitch bend events are edited separately. Make sure you get the right channel! BTW: I once had an cheap MIDI-DIN-USB connector that did not handle pitch bends at all.
  17. To be fair, one of the most common scams is to order stuff with stolen cards and have it shipped to a different, untraceable-to-the-crook address. BTW: "Cat peed on Keyboard" It was probably just kitten around. Music with feline. Good thing it didn't hit the electronics, that would have been a catastrophe.
  18. "OK, OK, I'll start showing up on time". (But we know that it's a lie).
  19. I give him kudos for wearing headphones and not being a nightmare of a neighbor. Most millennials don't have that level of awareness and maturity.
  20. You want to have a debate about global warming? This isn't the place but.....OK. Let's start with some facts: -Glaciers were Already Retreating Before 1900 -Ice ages have been coming and going for eons. -The last 20 years have shown zero warming (hence the switch to 'climate change'). -Man produces less than 1/2 of 1 percent of C02 on the planet. -It was warmer in the 15th century than it is now. -The greatest warming in the 20th century was between 1935 and 1950. -NASA confirms: Sea levels FALLING across the planet in 2016 and 2017. -NASA Data: Earth Cooled by Half a Degree Celsius From '16-'18 -Scientists have been caught manipulating and hiding data. -None, NONE, of their prior predictions have come true. -In 1995 Al Gore said by 2005 Miami will be underwater "due to Global warming". Miami is NOT underwater. -In 2004, the Department of Defense released a report assuring the world Climate Change would destroy all of us by the year 2020. Nope! -The highest record temperature ever reported was 136 degrees Fahrenheit in Libya in 1922. The record high temperature for the United States was 134 degrees Fahrenheit in Death Valley, California in 1913. -Excavations in the Antarctic have shown vegetation use to cover the continent. -If all the C02 was removed from the atmosphere, we would die. Plants need C02 to live and we need plants to live. -US had its coldest February (2021) in more than 30 years, NOAA reports. -Until about 215 million years ago, the Triassic period had experienced extremely high CO2 levels,at around 4,000 parts per million about 10 times higher than today. If you want to worry about a real problem, I suggest overpopulation.
