#10 Good heavens, reading this stuff is going to work better than a bottle of Jack Daniels or a bottle of Poiteen when I can't get to sleep. Hard to believe, it's only volume 69.

/Sarc on
When will it be available on Amazon?

#11 RE#9: B.I. #232 Answer: Uvula
I know cuz I don't have mine anymore; taken out in a (misguided) attempt to cure chronic snoring; didn't bother me (I slept through it), but Mrs. Ret wasn't amused......
removed w/ a laser, and it looked like on old fashioned wooden marble with a flat spot where the cut line was. didn't roll real well; I got 2 tries before the Dr. took it away.

#13 Building FactsThe building has reached it's full structural height, but it's currently no more than a massive concrete shell.
- Construction was halted in 1992 because of financial problems, and the building's future still remains undecided.
- The North Korean government is currently trying to invite a foreign investment of 300 million US dollars for a new structural system.
- The pyramid-shaped building has a 75-degree slope.
- The building has been incorrectly listed with a height of 300 m for the past several years. The updated height of 330 m makes it the world's tallest building intended for hotel use.
- It would have surpassed world's tallest building in purely hotel use at time of scheduled completion and ranked 7th tallest building in the world.
- First building outside New York & Chicago with over 100 floors.

Which makes it even more sad....
