Thread: 20 years ago, this was released.

I won't get it.

Nour Al Ain by Amr Diab is the only song in Arabic for which I know both the title and the singer.






Edit: Actually it looks like I haven't even got that one right.

^ You've got it right.

I saw this guy play this song in 1997.

Lost in the daze.

My last one from 20 years ago. Another cracker.

this:



for some reason reminds me of:

Lulu didn't suggest anything.

Except perhaps deep contemplation of how fast the last 20yrs have gone.

Searched that vid and found me in the crowd.



And Pill Pill Dill.

Just re-watched this movie. It's funny how back home this opening sentence wouldn't have any meaning whatsoever.

^ Is that some kinda Brokeback Mountain spinoff?

Alright, alright. Take it easy, Grandpa.

Big deal. 113 years ago this was released and has never been surpassed!

I give it 5.8 style points in the old system.

I'm not an electrician but I'm led to believe that ground leakage tests no longer require elephants and that todays more accurate measurement techniques can be done with hamsters, cats, or, in larger installations, babies.

Old Sparky: The Electric Chair and the History of the Death Penalty, Anthony Galvin tells the story of several horrific death chamber scenes. One was the 1982 electrocution execution of Frank J. Coppola, who was put to death in Virginia. As Galvin describes it: "An attorney who was there said that it took two long jolts of electricity to kill Coppola. The first did not stop his heart. During the second fifty-five-second-long jolt, witnesses could hear the sound of sizzling flesh and Coppola's head and leg both caught fire. Smoke filled the small death chamber, making it difficult to see the writhing victim through the haze."

There was no testing of equipment in those days?

^^
Looks like someone forgot to wet the sponge.

Yup. Going in dry can cause writhing. At least rub a bit of spit around the head eh.

Damn that's gay.
Butt what do I know.........Still that's gay...
