They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but
now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

I meant energy, nuclear. It would implode into a white dwarf.

Oh blast it!

Kong answered your question wrong, he is pretty sure he spelled the answer to Piddz question wrong, and in Kong's own common sense question he left the letter "h" off of the word "south" and included an ugly redundancy to boot. Kong has caused much humiliation to his fellow apes today.

You'd think so, wouldn't you? I wanted to complete the red, white and blue trifecta, though, thereby simultaneously honoring my country and making fun of people different from me.

alright uncommon. You mean you don't read the deposed-dictators' sports section? They do some biting reviews.

The answer's Spurs and Everton.

Erm, ok,....

Under an earlier form of the US Constitution, a white man was considered a citizen. What "value" was put on a black man to compare him to his white counter-part? (hint: it's a fraction)



Hmmm...I just figured out that I'm rather uncommon. And further proof that people otside the US know more about US history than its own citizenry.

Is it 1/2?
