Sheesh, good thing G-d decided to take a chill pill somewhere between the Old and New Testaments.

The 1990s famine, if you want to call if that, is also sometimes described as a series of famines. Here's more details about the aid I'm referring to. 700,000 tonnes in 1999 alone,…

If you look at the graph, life expectancy didn't really diverge until the 90s, 40 years after the bombing campaign. And, any way, the North Koreans started it.

I'm glad you're getting healthier, but what are the odds that all of your theories have any basis in reality, after spending , I'm guessing, years or decades living an unhealthy li…

Waste of space: Not really? The plot of land the building is on is ~ 1/3rd of an acre. Immediately adjacent to it are multiple street level-only parking lots that have a larger foo…
