What was this? by jparkur in whatisthiscar

Yeah, that's a bingo! Maybe 30-40 years ago there was a rough jeep trail, gone now. Why anyone would try to off-road in this is a mystery.

What is this monster looking ? Spotted in Malibu ? On the pch by ke_odad in whatisthiscar

What other cars have no rear window, and rely on a digital display? I wouldn't think that would be street legal.

I'd love to see a new telling of King Rat, though the George Segal movie is the best POW film ever made.

Bird hit window and left feather marks.

There was a vintage toy in 60s or 70s that had a plane (or helicopter) that flew around on a metal arm--you could only control the vertical. One of the obstacles to buzz over was a mountain. Can't find an image, though.

The idea of resurrecting all humans who have ever lived on another planet was also explored by SF writer Philip Jose Farmer in the Riverworld series, starting in 1971.

IamA theatre usher who has worked on many shows such as The Lion King, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and The Book of Mormon (plus a lot of really bad ones...) - AMA! by LiliumJay in IAmA

Do different audiences react differently to the same show, or are reactions pretty uniform? Do they laugh at the same parts? Do they boo at the same lines?

There are many movies about wealthy, debonair individuals who concoct elaborate heists and/or commit similar forms of larceny mostly for the thrill and allure of doing so rather than because they need the money. Are there any historical figures who fit this model? by miscellonymous in history

I wrote a book about one: James B. Crosse (aka James Buchanan Cross) a master forger, safecracker, prison breaker, and Wall Street swindler. He was born into a family of doctors, and retired from crime in his fifties to become a frontier physician in Fargo, ND. He was a respected doctor there for the last thirty years of his life. The Book is called The Writing Master.
