George Costanza was able to pull an endless sequence of stunningly beautiful women for casual sex while being short and bald, dressing like shit, and living with his parents. This was considered normal in the 90s when the show began.

The Boer Wars were an underappreciated watershed moment in warfare and state power. The Boers invented recognizably modern fireteam tactics predicated on exceptional rifle marksmanship and unit cohesion, and the British defeated them by inventing the concentration camp.

The studios ARE losing money, just as they say. My recent Men in Black profit statement proves that the film, though having generated over $595 million in revenue, has actually *cost* Sony over $598 million. SO close, too: off by just .02%/yr. *They* should be picketing *us.*
