Yes, there were tons of clues; I don't remember them anymore except Paul was barefoot on the album and people are buried w/o shoes. Ahh, good times.

Are people really buried without shoes? Why on earth would they do that?

Another one: at the end of "I Am the Walrus", you can clearly hear "Paul is dead" in a creepy voice.

We're Scandinavians, we don't get buried we get put on a ship and set on fire

Honestly though, I can't think of a relative in my family who was embalmed and/or buried, we're all about the cremation and scattering.

This is OT but I've been reading about "green burials" and there is no embalming and you are put in a box and buried with no vault so you decompose faster like in the Pioneer days. I like the idea. I've never understood the concept of spending $5K for a box to be buried in when most people don't have a stick of furniture in their house that costs that much.

'Gangsta rap' was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other.

As I am winding up the tax returns that are due tomorrow (no sense in sending them in early if you aren't getting a refund), I really think the IRS has something against the little people of the world. Why does my 14 y.o. have to have a more difficult return than his parents? Isn't there a more efficient way to transcribe numbers and add up columns? Why does AMT come into play at such a low level? My H and I are college graduates from decent schools. We kept reassuring ourselves yesterday that we are not stupid people. Why can we not understand the instructions in the first reading?


Every year I swear I'm buying Turbo Tax next year instead of doing these things by hand.....

Unearned income over a certain piddly amt. (ie investment income) for a < 17 y.o. requires special treatment. Anything past that amount is assessed at the parental + any underage (used to be 14, now is 17) siblings' combined income rate. So the parents do their taxes, then you do your kids' taxes, then you reassess the parents' return plus the balance of the maximum in addition to any and all other kids.....

My mantra till the mail goes out tomorrow: "H and I are not stupid people. We believe in supporting our gov't as responsible citizens..."

was there really a question?

but seriously, that's bootsy guy was around in the 60's. The 60's were before Ice Cube. YOu can't blame gangsta rap for gangs. Blame the lack of orgs. like the panthers. Nothing for the kids to do , and so the kids turn to crime. You can't blame the people who are already generations deep into the game for making music about gangs. Because then you would be Tipper Gore. And she's scary. And would ban mortal kombat.
