Weird stuff seems to go with major comets. When a comet appeared in A.D. 60, the people of Rome assumed it meant the impending death of their still new emperor, Nero. He responded by exiling a potential rival. When another comet turned up just 4 years later, ancient historians say he ordered the execution of dozens of nobles. It is said that Moctezuma II saw a comet in 1517 that foreshadowed the downfall of Aztec empire. In 1910, a wave of hysteria swept over the United States amid reports that Earth was about to pass through Halley's tail.

I fell in love with John Cleese in that movie, and of course, Jamie Lee Curtis is always “the girl I wish I were!”

It’s an excellent movie. Like I said: I may have to watch it again tomorrow.

Good! What was the final result? Did we have to send out for pizza?

DP, Bill, and Tom liked the tomato-cilantro soup. It will be good cold. The chicken with cilantro sauce was bland and a bit soupy, but the remaining chicken can be sandwiches tomorrow.

Pizza would be one thing. The fire department another. Glad it went well.

Sounds good! Except for the cilantro. I’ve never been able to acquire a taste for it, and prefer the milder parsley, instead.

That’s not to say that I won’t eat foods with cilantro. Just that I’ll try to hide the evidence of my dislike. ;o]

They’d have liked pizza better, I’m sure ;-).

I’m going to the shower. If I don’t come back, I got distracted and went to sleep with Frank and some catz.

In the shower? Are the catz okay with sleeping in showerz?

Depends...if you call them in the morning, it has to be cold pizza. Any time after 1500, it should be hot.

Glad I don’t work for the FD. If I have pizza for lunch, it has to be hot.

Ignoring the previous post on this. Is this beating like a race to the pillow with the cat or something comparable to a drum.

Hey, pal, you fluff a pillow your way, and let T-C fluff a pillow her way.

If she wants to use a real Fluffy to do the job, it's all right with me.

Good morning, everyone. If you sleep with a cat on your pillow, you wake up sneezing!
