I certainly was around when records were out but I never heard of them being referred to as 12 inches when you went to purchase them. i guess that's just a juvenile joke of yours.

WiFi problems? Want a faster network? Try Powerline Adapters!
by Simon inwifi is great.
it's so easy and convenient.
but it can be slow.. years ago when it first came out you maybe had a pc and a couple of other devices at most.

Gee Simon, that sounds great that there's a way to add faster speed to slow computers, etc. Now if only I understood what the heck you were talking about, the different parts and all that since I'm not a tech person !

Any funny stories of when a"brother" giving a talk, said something "funny" or "questionable", and didn't even realize it?
by Dunedain inthere were always all types of speakers in the org.
myself, growing up a "witness", must have heard all types of talks, and given by all manner of speakers, especially on sundays, when almost every week we would get a "visiting" brother giving the public talk.. sometimes, you would have a "great" speaker, all fluent and animated.
other times we would get a comical speaker, one who would maybe purposelly get a few laughs outta the audience.

Although I've been across the Verazzano Bridge a few times, Staten Island is the only borough I've never stepped foot in. All I know is Father Capadano Blvd, a main street there.

I'll tell you what I think is even worse, and this actually happened a while back here in NYC. A man said that he was mugged and knocked out of his wheelchair and the muggers took it. Turns out it wasn't true, the guy just needed a new wheelchair, and of course people donated to him because they felt so sorry for him. One person can just totally mess up how you feel about people who really need the help.

That is strange, I was thinking a gas issue, but then it would've been much worse if that was the case.

I find it interesting to learn about James Randi writing on such a serious subject. When I was kid, there was a show called Wonderama and there was always a frequent guest on the show called The Amazing Randy doing magic tricks for the kids, I guess as he got older he dropped the tricks and got serious. I wonder how old he is now?
