Yeah, we all share a common ancestor but now some are more corrupt than others.

True, I have seen such women, actually my grandgrandmother, I remember her.
But this ancient civilization features two-storey houses in the 5th BC which is the equivalent of every teenager having their own room today. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-20156681

:lol: --ah, that's good.
The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?

It is an amazing fact to me that there is a planet we are familiar with which is inhabited solely by robots. It is of course, when you think about it...

Why, oh, why are the English fatter than ever before? :ask:
The English have never been fatter, with 4 per cent of adults now morbidly obese and nine out of ten leading unhealthy lifestyles, a survey says.

Figures from the Health Survey for England found levels of morbid obesity, classed as a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or above, at their highest level. The survey of almost 8,000 adults and 2,000 children found that among women, 5 per cent were morbidly obese, compared with 1 per cent in 1993

Tell you what, I have been observing the same thing in Russia.
