    The way people dig graves with shovels. Never use their foot to push, and/or use square shovels.

    I don't remember. It was just like the ones you see in the old westerns.

    I was watching a show last night where a person was digging a giant hole in their basement. The hole was at least 8' square and 7-8' deep; the person was standing in the hole and looking up to the basement floor. On the floor, there was a pile of dirt or whatever about as big as 3 wheelbarrow loads. I had to wonder what happened to the 2 tons of dirt that must have had to be excavated for that hole.

    Simple, really. They put the dirt from the real hole into a black hole. Plus, the writer was a dumb a__hole.

    How about when the actors always manage to outrun a firestorm, tidal wave, avalanche, crashing spaceship, ............ why aren't these people running in the Olympics???

    Also, Los Angeles has just been destroyed by a firestorm, earthquake, meteor, tidal wave, bug-eyed monsters and the hero and his girlfriend ALWAYS manage to find each other. Hell, I can't find the Spousal Equivalent in Walmart without phoning him....

    There is literally no end to how stupid movies can get. The other day I was scanning films on a movie site and I came across one titled: The 5 headed shark. Good heavens . Who would watch such a movie ?

    Another thing which I find stupid beyond belief are movies which try to convince us that , in hand to hand combat, a woman can overcome a man. sometimes several men at once. A month or so ago, I had left the TV on while I was cooking and when I returned to the living room "Charlie's Angels" was playing. Drew Barrymore was captured and tied to a chair and guarded by 3 men. Not only did she manage to free herself from the ropes, she beat heck out of all 3 tough guys. This idea of ultra tough women seems to have become quite popular in recent decades. I don't know whether to laugh or shake my head in disbelief.

    Of course, some women can overcome some men. In fact, some women can kick ass.

    For shame. You sound like an equality denier. Don't you know that the sexes are exactly equal in every way? Women's biceps are just as big as men's, for instance, and men can have babies. If you don't believe these things you need to take some more LSD. I can recommend a therapist that will help you deny reality. Reality is boring. Fantasy is power.

    They can dig a six foot deep hole in 15 minutes. They've never seen a spade. They don't sweat. They never run into tree roots. They never have to use a pickax to break up hard ground.

    In other words they never run into the problems I had in the backyard just after my second wife mysteriously disappeared. I don't miss her because I feel she's close by.

    <raising my hand and blushing....> I DID actually watch about 15 minutes of the 5-Headed Shark a few months ago. There are also 2-Headed Shark, 3-Headed Shark, and 4-Headed Shark movies, which I'm proud to say I haven't seen. I'm assuming they went straight to video. Luckily, I apparently watched the best part (and I say that relatively....) when the shark reared up and threw one of his heads at a lighthouse to knock out the light.

    Hey Richard Whiting! You must have snuck past me. Hi! And welcome to the board. Lots of discussion and also silliness here.
    I liked Jaws. Not so much Jaws2 then there was a deluge of shark movies that I didn't see nor did I want to. How much suspense and gore from a shark do we need?

    No clear on exactly what you are saying. Are you actually saying that women's biceps are as big or as strong as men's biceps ?
    If so, that's a curious thing to say. Look at it this way. In the world over, there are cruel, and immoral men who routinely beat their wives/GF's. If women were as strong or as tough as men, then certainly women would be able to physically fight back, and WIN sometimes.
    That, however, is not reality.
    Only in the fantasy world of Hollywood are women able to engage in physical combat with men , and win.
    PS; Please don't get me wrong. I'm not suggesting that men have any right to beat women. Personally, I find such men as low-lifes.
