"We put him in the darkroom, where he developed into a photographer…" LOL!  "They've kept soldiering on through choppy waters, but now they have reached the end of the road."Timely, considering it's Passover.

In a show on oceanic wave patterns on the Discovery Channel, I learned that the meteor strike which killed the dinosaurs created a tsunami which caused "a global devastation of epic proportions." Too bad for the dinosaurs that they couldn't have endured global devastation of less-than-epic proportions.
Of course, the same show told me that the area of the Atlantic which is covered with Sargasso seaweed is called the Sargasso Sea, after the seaweed found there, Sargasso. Man, I hope I can keep that straight.

Life in the Big Apple: From today's The New York Times
In its debut on Tuesday evening, [www.ellisislandrecords.org] averaged eight million requests per hour. By 1:30 p.m. Wednesday...traffic had soured to 97 million hits per hour.
Some Manhattan nightclubs have hired private ambulance companies to wait outside and...take revelers who overdose to hospital emergency rooms..
