Thanks.

"Wind Talkers" seemed quite realistic.

You people were correct about "National Treasure." Thanks.

Re: Favorite Movies - Your Short List

Vinny, Field of Dreams isn't really a baseball movie. Also, I could not have predicted the ending. My father schooled me on baseball legends of the past. When K Costner was telling his daughter about the late greats of the game, he left out Stan Musial. Musial was the only opposing player Dodger fan...

Mark, et al, I was nailed twice by the Man-O'-War jellyfish. That was on eastern Long Island, NY. Consecutive summers, ages 12 and 13, and the purple welts lasted for more than a month before beginning to fade. Both times they occurred as I was leaving the bay. First time, I dropped my left elbow on...

Re: HBPP 4x25 results, please.

Kriegs,

Thanks. I have already gone that path but I could only get approximations. The Crawling Road site had all the %s through 2012. Is there a place that lists exact numbers. Does anyone have it on a spreadsheet, etc?

Thanks.

Mathjak, We were discussing at dinner all of the shiny, new buildings in the area where "You've Got Mail" was filmed in 19998. Between Broadway and Amsterdam Av on W 77, for instance, there are lovely, tall condos. All over this area serviced by the 1 train, there are so many buildings less than 25 ...

I imagine you have a ‘preservation of assets” mentality, so I am confused when you say you don’t wash your car.

Since I had the experience of eliminating meat and finding my jogging ability improved, is that just me? And is no correlation indicated?

Thanks.
