Hidden a rifle in the vault? Wow. I guess the "bandits" should have kept a closer eye on the people they were robbing...

I think the bank official got the rifle as the bandits were leaving the vault.  It doesn't say it in the clipping, but Henry was shot in the back.  But you're right, Henry and the other bandits should have been more careful.

I'm not afraid of the government stealing my right to own and shoot guns... I'm afraid of the people that are afraid of the government coming to take their rights away from them... huh... wha?

Interesting. Sort of Ancient Aliens in reverse.

Yes, come to think of it, it is.

If literature is any indication, some huge percentage of human thought over the past five thousand years has been devoted to religion and philosophy and stuff beyond the material.  We're programmed to think that way.  Now scientific rationalism comes along and wants to basically lobotomize the human mind.  It's a poor substitute and it's not going to work.

Dragging this back 'round to Art, I think much of what Art covers is modem mythology.  Aliens are our gods, or variously our ancestors, Bigfoot is a troll in the woods, pseudoscience is our alchemy.  I can't really put it coherently.  I don't believe any of it, really, but t's fun to think about because it scratches the same mental itch, and I don't think those old Greeks were that literal with their mythology either.  I think we're all here because we find that stuff fun, and fighting about whether its real or not is kind of beside the point.

The very definition of skepticism is an open mind. Condemnation before investigation is the surest route to ignorance.

Which week were you born in? I was born in what they, at first, labelled "The Week of The Teacher," but was then later updated to "The Week of Study."

I can see why, of course, because I ain't teaching anyone shit

Pardon me if my English isn´t perfect.

Well, my dad was installing a small chandelier a long long time ago by the time he was married for the first time. After attaching it to the ceiling, he went to another room and minutes later he hears a "boom". The chandelier was lying on the floor.

He repeated the operation and then it happened again. He got angry and he cursed at it! Then he was slapped out of thin air. In the face. His first wife at the time heard the noise and actually saw a red mark (hand) on his face.

There were no previous episodes of that kind in the house. He left the chandelier alone.

I wonder which he preferred after the month? While the beds in the workhouse may be softer- I don't generally believe they were places you wanted to end up...

I was wondering about what kind of exhaust was in the pipe.  Apparently a type that was warm enough to keep him alive during the winter months.  That, and what kind of toilet facilities were available to him.

The growly voice said, "Get out." The Ghost Buster Gals giggled with glee. Then Chunga jumped in with his recorder. And they all lived happily ever after.

I quit my job a week ago to go to school full time.  It was a decent sales job and I worked from home but I grew to hate it.  I hope there is something good for me out there when this is over.

I've been trying to find a way to work from home for years and haven't been able to.

This guy had one and quits it.

I could just scream !


Good luck to you.

I quit working after I got robbed at gunpoint at work for the 3rd time, then I got sick and couldn't work anymore.

I miss the money but I don't miss working for other people.
