    IDW has done quite a few Star Trek crossovers in the comics, so this isn't totally impossible.

    It's possible that English is used as a common international language. Air traffic controllers use English worldwide..

    I'd like to find the bank James Bond used in "Casino Royale". Consider...

    * After the poker game, Bond deposits $114,500,000... the pot held 115m, but Bond gave the dealer a red tile (500k) just as easy as slipping him a ten-spot.
    * Figure after the torture session, Bond needed some time to recover (I know I'd need some downtime if my naughties got pummeled). Let's say a month, max.
    * When the banker arrives to unlock the money, it's grown to $120m. That's 4.8% growth. Multiplied by 12 months, that's an interest rate of 57.6%.
    * Leave it there for five years (a little less, actually), and you're a billionaire.

    ^ I’ll take your bored and raise it to ‘monotonous’, after 11 miles on a treadmill this morning.

    Cheers,

    Sounds like me in the pool today. But at least I wasn't sweaty.

    Have you ever been called narrow minded for not accepting that person's narrow mindedness?

    Got called a bigot once.... for not caring about a sports team that wasn't in my state. :wtf:

    Happy Birthday @CommanderTroi

    I was just reminded of a random thing that happened to me several times a few years ago. I apparently have a doppleganger in town, because a few years ago I had several people all approach me and ask if I went to a different high school from the one I actually went to, because they thought I looked like someone they went there with.

    I was telling my former favorite son about my poor friend who has advanced dementia and how his family is trying to find a care facility for him. I told my son that I really didn't want to be a burden for my kids and he said, "Too late". I chased him, but he got away. ;)

    I don't care about sports at all... I can only imagine what that makes me! :lol:

    I normally try not to extend birthday wishes if the person has expressed any ambivalence about the birthday. But in this case, other people have extended wishes, and you have seemed OK with it, so I will join the group and say "Happy Birthday!" too. Hopefully it ended up being a good day for you.
