Random Thoughts or Whatever

[SolderIron]

That way, it's easy to deny everything if things go wrong.

More afraid of mumbling something but overheard somehow by the pure and innocent. The listener would think Wow, yikes, holy cow, call 911 ...

Didja know that Brando stuffed Kleenex in his mouth when doing his audition for "The Grandfather"?

Seems he wanted his lower jaw to jut out more. Many believed the "myth" that he also had cotton balls in his mouth while acting as the Mob boss...but it's reported that he didn't do so. The mumbling was part of the persona as a Mafia-type.

Just some "random thoughts" on some who also mumbled... on purpose, eh?

A high school friend used to stuff bread into his cheeks and do the best Brando ever. Watching him prepare was as good as the impression.

That was for the audition, and he used a combination of cotton and Kleenex. For the actual film they created a prosthetic device for him to wear, and it did affect his speech.

I had a cousin who went to a Lutheran grade school, where many of the teachers spoke German as well as English. She and her friends took to speaking German pig-latin, totally indeciperable to anyone else.

Yes — Nike really did fall from about $166 per share to around $38 today. That’s a –77% collapse from its all‑time high, based on verified market data.

• All‑time high: $166.19 on Nov 5, 2021
• Current price: ~$38.02–38.40 today
• 52‑week range: $37.90 – $76.97

This is one of the largest peak‑to‑trough declines ever for a major global consumer brand.

If you buy a self help book, is it really self help if someone else wrote the book?

Many people were worrying about over population as recent as 15? years ago. All kinds of analysis and statistics supported that future. Now we are worrying about de population. I guess whatever will be, will be.

Truth is, ALL 8 billion people on Earth could live in Texas with a population density roughly equal to that of Massachusetts.

No.

8 billion people in Texas would leave .9 sq ft of space per person. They could physically fit, but there wouldn't be any room left for anything else. Therefore, living would be impossible.

I get your point about Massachusetts being overpopulated, especially in the summer.

Could versus should.
