The Charlie Chaplin one is so funny. And I hate insects, ewwww. They will take over someday like in these 50's horror movies.

Yes, I guess that's the whole point. I think 1983 is just a random number in this case - why would they EVER have births? But now I'm curious enough to look it up. And of course it's zero-zero-zero everywhere. Population is 821.

"There is no hospital in the Vatican... it is too small, the hospitals used by the Swiss Guard if their wives gave birth would be in Rome. If a tourist gave an unexpected "early birth" it is possible that a baby could be born within Vatican City but unlikely."

I used to buy Christmas gifts for my cat. He'd sniff them and bat at them for a couple of minutes, and then he'd never touch them again. So I stopped.

Awwwww, lol. I don't have a pet right now but I buy gifts for the kitties of 2 friends, usually toys with catnip in them. They're so funny when they go nuts on the stuff.

My cat is weird. He doesn't get high from catnip. He just looks at it. I think he's defective.
