 Aaaahhh!! I just watched that episode 2-3 days ago! Thanks, FL.  I'm relieved, too. (More boring medical stuff below if anyone cares.) My blood pressure had been fluctuating a bit over the last six months, with one jump a few months ago that alarmed one of the NPs I'd talked to. Sometimes that's a sign that the kidneys are going downhill fast. Turns out I was taking two different meds (for unrelated issues) that are known to raise blood pressure. Once I changed to other stuff, it evened out again.

Glad it all worked out, Cleome! The Federated States of Micronesia have the lowest net migration rate among sovereign countries in Oceania.

I always used to think I was an introvert, until I started seeing all these things posted on the internet along the lines of "here's what it's like to be an introvert", and then I started realizing that that's not what it's like to be me at all.

The island nation of Palau inaugurated the first shark sanctuary in 2009, while fellow Oceanic island nation Kiribati's Phoenix Islands Protected Area was the largest marine protected area in the world at the time of its creation.

Julian Cope's "20 Mothers" album had a photo of 20 mothers on the cover, including Cope's wife and Cope's mother.

Changing from my "businessman" clothes into my "helicopter pilot" clothes at work always makes me feel a bit like a superhero.
Now, admittedly, my "helicopter pilot" clothes consist of a pair of jeans and a hoodie, but... still.

Tiny San Marino claims to be the oldest sovereign state in the world; its official foundation date is September 3, 301 AD. Which also marks over 1700 years of them having a rubbish football team. Mommy! That man is stripping in that phone booth! Now Jonathan. Don't bother your father when he's protecting his secret identity.

Armenia is the first country in the world to adopt Christianity as a state religion. They did this in the 4th century AD.

Last night I saw Before Midnight on DVD. I'd forgotten how much Ethan Hawke looked like a college friend of mine on whom I had a huge crush my senior year. Interestingly, 20-some years later, Ethan Hawke still looks pretty much the same, but my friend (with whom I reconnected on Facebook) does not.
The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

Alas, not everyone can maintain their looks over the decades.
To date, the USA has designated 15 countries as major non-NATO allies: Afghanistan, Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Egypt, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, South Korea and Thailand.

The Hanging Coffins of Sagada are suspended on cliff walls. The people of Sagada believe that the higher up the coffins are, the closer the souls of the deceased are to heaven. Warning : the last picture on the page depicts actual human remains. All others are only of the coffins.

During wakes they sometimes let the dead sit in a chair. Sometimes that chair is also hung up beside the coffins
