| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 148 Posts: 25978 | Stephen King wrote a story about a guy in NYC who makes a living pretending to be a blind Vietnam vet beggar. He makes $100K a year and goes home to his fam every night that thinks he works in an office. It's SK, so the kicker is, the guy really turns into a blind vet every day, he convinces himself so thoroughly he is one. If you take a risk, you may lose.

I never kill spiders. I have them around my window in my office, they catch the flies. Fascinating to watch them, they're so predatory. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 148 Posts: 25978 | What they did here is amazing. They took good B/W photos from the early 1900's and colorized them with a computer. The result is, you can really almost feel what it was like to live in those times. The people and the scenes come alive. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Most of those were just phenomenal. Thanks. Would not have thought they'd be that good, after watching a few colorized movies (botched) a couple decades ago. The ones they did incompletely really stood out as badly done when you looked at the excellent ones. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

Most of those were just phenomenal. Thanks. Would not have thought they'd be that good, . Some of them have an almost 3D effect, like with a stereopticon. The subtle shading is done well. We have lots of super good, super clear B/W pics from that era, I hope they more of them. The people look like people now, except they're in period costumes. If you take a risk, you may lose.

| AZDuffman Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 137 Posts: 21195 | This is an interesting one. The Disney World complex straddles 2 counties and is larger than some cities. It would have been a juicy target for annexation, so Disney did the smart thing, and became their own municipalities. But that entailed way more than one might think. War is peace.
