Yes!👍

SuperLaxative CrowNoMeter OfficialLee SertaFried - If you see this phrase on a Rolex, it's a redial. 😲

You could have bypassed the "Superman" clue.

As soon as I saw the "Magnesium Citrate" (A SUPER LAXATIVE) I had 'Nam style flashbacks of my 24 hour magnesium citrate prep for a colonoscopy.

We shall discuss this no further.

Today marks the anniversary of the death of this well known, and fabled showman.
Long gone now, and remembered in an almost mythological sense...

I almost can not believe that this one didn’t cause a lot of furled brows and puzzled looks! Well done @Charlemagne1333! Obviously, you are an enthusiast! We live only a few kms from Spruce Meadows where Ian Miller and Big Ben, shone. Wow!

For the pedantic among us. This is Big Ben, the clock tower is Elizabeth Tower.

Indeed! Big Ben is 13 metric tonnes and two-hundred weight of bell metal. Bell metal is about 87% copper, and 13 % tin. It was cast at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in the Whitechapel district of London. We visited the foundry in 2000. It is now closed. The pattern that was used to form the mold for that bell (the strickle), was still hanging on the wall. This is the second bell in the Elizabeth Tower. The first bell (by a different foundry) was badly flawed. Big Ben developed a crack soon after installation. They turned the bell. I have been standing within 8 feet of Big Ben at noon, on two occasions! One word comes to mind. LOUD!

No! Not me! I’m been on the other side of that dial, twice, however.

Mon (as in Mon LaFerte)
Ster (as in stir)

Loch Ness Monster!

During our 2008 trip to Scotland, I was guilty of referring to a LOCH, as a LAKE! I was informed rather brusquely that I was looking at a LOCH, and that there are only 3 lakes in Scotland. How I. h_ _ _ might I have known the difference?

On this day, in 1820, saw the discovery of a long lost work of art. It was found inside a buried niche, within the remains of an ancient city, the name of which also identifies the origin of this artifact...
