...majority of us who will never, even with spike heels, make the 5'6" minimum; who spend hours at the mall looking for clothes that won't make us look like little girls playing dress-up in mom's clothes; who deal with jeans and slacks rolled up into jumbo doughnuts around our ankles; who scour "petite" departments for clothes that are vaguely fashionable and aren't designed for middle-aged country club women who have just begun to lose inches to osteoporosis; who didn't work hard enough to earn a sewing badge in Girl Scouts and learn...
...sheer convenience of the entire place is designed to make fans soft. There is a 272-by-96 foot Sony Jumbo TRON screen so that the fans don't even have to watch the game live. The seats are designed five inches wider than those of other big league stadiums, a move clearly motivated by those who would profit from our sloth and obesity. There is also an extra half-foot of leg room, which promotes the exact sort of relaxed lounging that causes bad posture. The bullpens are elevated so fans do not need to strain themselves...
Dances with Wolves (running time: three hours, 10 minutes) won seven Oscars, so naturally everyone started making longer movies: JFK (three hours, eight minutes), Bugsy (2:15), Grand Canyon (2:15) and Hook (2:11). Next: Malcolm X (3+). Go for the giant popcorn and jumbo soft drinks...
...idea of injecting into the stratosphere two chemicals -- propane and ethane -- that would combine with CFCs to produce an extremely weak, and therefore environmentally safe, solution of hydrochloric acid. That strategy would interrupt the CFCs' 100-year destruction cycle, and has the further advantage of requiring only 1,000 jumbo-jet flights over a single, critical 30-day period every year for the next several decades. The products involved are readily available. However, in order for the process to work efficiently, these chemicals must reach from 15 km to 25 km (9 miles to 15 miles) above the earth...
...general, the explanations given by practitioners cannot be squared with the Western science of physiology. Indeed, the mumbo-jumbo accounts are enough & to turn a believing patient skeptical. Chiropractors speak of subtle misalignments or "subluxations" of the spine, but other doctors usually cannot detect them. Acupuncture concerns itself with 12 pulses and 12 organs -- six solid, or yin, and six hollow, or yang -- connected to fingers and toes by channels through which energy flows...
