Just spoke with a tour guide about this topic. If you lived in a city during the middle age in Europe, the night watch announced the current time every hour. How did they know the time? They just guessed, because nobody in the city could know better.

It was never the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan.

Are you sure about that? It was once the tallest building in the world, then the second tallest (after the Chrysler Building), and (Wikipedia says so) after the 70 Pine Street was build the 2nd tallest in “Lower Manhattan”.

That is good to know, thank you 🙂.

As far as I know just cooking the rice with enough water solves the arsenic problem for the most part.

Get better soon!

I never understood why the Americans have to carry a weapon at all. I can understand (to some degree) to want to own a weapon (to defend your home from other people with guns, going hunting, shooting cans, etc. pp), but to carry it outside while doing normal things like shopping, dinning, watching a movie?

AFAIK you can only claim a trademark-violation if someone is (for example) selling stuff (so you couldn’t sell stuffed animals that look like an early Mickey for example).

To put it into perspective: If you would earn 5000$ every day (not per month, per day) and you had started with that when Columbus discovered America, you still had not 1 billion!

I doubt he does.
