Way more daring than Hannah ever was…

Could be.

Off topic but fun.

The book ‘The Carpetbaggers’ became a movie; there was a Western actor mentioned in the story, Nevada Smith. Does anyone else know a daring character named after a state with a five letter last name?

When Stan Lee created Tony back in the 1960’s he probably took his inspiration from Howard Hughes.

Hughes had been the inspiration for a famous novel of the time, “The Carpetbaggers.”

HH was played by Leo DiCaprio in ‘The Aviator.’

I can’t remember the author or title, but that was the idea for a story I once read.

God sends an angel and the monkeys to do the job. They get close, but when the angel is doing the final read through he sees "…to be, or not to beee, Damn the ‘E’ key is sticking. " And they have to start over

The stupidest thing about Trump is that he could have extorted billions of dollars out of the Saudis on Inauguration Day. Even Team Rocket could have figured that out.

Those are the folks who become ‘leaders.’

You know that nuclear power plant up the road? They just had a big accident, we don’t know exactly what’s going on, and at least one person is already dead from radiation. But it’s fine, and you shouldn’t worry or leave the area.

“No evacuation.” Have you ever actually talked to people?

So we agree, airships and nukes are both outmoded, old tech.

So, essentially, nuclear power is like airships, except with worse disasters?

Probably the crooks just grabbed up everything they could. That means the stuff people have been keeping around that they never had time to repair.
