Thanks, though I hope I will still have plenty of time to plan it ;)
I might ask the attendees to cosplay. And I might design the casket to look like the Millennium Falcon :P

it's funny and sad how the kid with the guns is the best one off, but all of them lack "a childhood" because of their situations. Yet some are "lucky" by comparison. The rich kid looks like the antichrist and the "angry" kid with the ferret on the end looks like he killed the ferret and then ate somebody with a nice chianti :P
also I saw the dog driving story on World News yesterday, and now I want my dog to drive me everywhere. too bad he's too small to reach the petals.
...I forgot how I got here but everyone seems to be heading off in that direction. I hope someone brought food. I have a feeling this is going to be a long journey................

The tiny 7-year-old girl that's been working in a granite quarry since age 3 really got to me.

When I sent that link, I think I said something like, 'Can you spot the two budding sociopaths?'
Thanks for identifying the animal as a ferret. A friend and I couldn't figure out what it was, but thought it looked worryingly like a squashed cat.

You know? From a Design POV, the room that disturbed me the most is the one owned by the Jewish kid (and his brothers) in the Israeli settlements.
Sure, it's nicer and cleaner than most of the other ones. But it's completely devoid of a personal, warm touch.
Even the color of the wall remind me of a hospital room, or a prison cell :-/

I don't know, but knowing Richard, and the way he documents his work --his 2 books on UFO history are excellent-- I suspect he might have something more substantial in mind ;)

That cheetah video is so mesmerizing, I think watching it probably changes your brainwaves.

I hope you never reincarnate into a gazelle, my dear ;)

... to transmigration. ;-)
That said, I'd certainly rather take my chances as a gazelle than as a cow, pig, or chicken.
