What you may not expect is that this is the film debut of Tupac and that Dan Akroyd plays a 102 year old man and also a giant baby.

Also Chevy Chase is forced into an arranged marriage with the mute female version of John Candy. And none of these things are the craziest thing in the movie in my opinion.

It might not even be so bad its good. Just really bizarre.

This is false. This is one of the 4 VHS tapes I watched endlessly as a kid. She actually gives up her hair, which is something she has been proud of the whole time to be microwaved. She eventually gets new hair at the end of the movie but shes sad to be bald for a while.

TOS always, the others it depends.

My thought is that these people think that their smarter than everyone else therefore they are justified doing anything they do. On the other hand, anyone with a billion dollars got it by making a whole lot of other people poorer. And they ate neither actually geniuses nor benevolent in any other way.

The Phillip Morris CEO makes money by hooking people onto something that isn't good for them. Tech CEOs are very seldom any different. Anyone who says otherwise usually has a financial interest in making you believe them.

In the song the Sk8r boy is the hero who triumphs in the end so i think it makes sense.

I read the article but it doesn't mention how they are counting a "view". Obviously most people on Twitter see his posts but there are so many bots on Twitter at this point, how many of those views were just that?

Pretty much every OSHA rule came from some kind of death or dismemberment of they guy before you. As a wise foreman once said, "Better a pain in the ass than your ass in pain”

Indeed they are, but every single site wants my email and birthday before I can view content now. I don't knock them for trying to make money from ads but I don't need them selling my email address on the side too.

I've actually been using it for years but I've never messed with the launch gestures before. That's a super useful feature.
