"TIL that even though Edward Bannister won 1st prize for painting at the 1876 Philadelphia centennial international exhibition, after discovering Bannister's identity, the judge wanted to rescind his award because he was black. However this wasn't possible due to protests from the other competitors."

Donnie,
Let's be accurate here, that plate is called classic "Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding",
Personally I recall the first Indian restaurants opening around Leeds in the early 1970's and by 78 there was one on every corner.

but the land just behind the beaches are often private and the owner(s) won't let you access the beach through their property

#4 Are you suggesting that the sea level was higher in the past than it is today? That's impossible, there were no people burning fossil fuels to create global warming. Science deniers!!

Frieda, no no! It's because the flat Earth tilted for a time and the Mississippi slid over to the other side of Wisconsin. Science rules!

Myra,
The earth was exactly the same temperature, climate, topography, etc. for billions of years. When people started burning fossil fuels, it all changed. Who knows, maybe the earth was flat then and all the man-made global warming made it spherical.

#30 so the metric system is the French's fault.
good to know next time some AH from Europe complains about why don't we use the metric system in America
someone from England: why don't you use the metric system in America
Merican: because the French invented it and if the rench jump off a bridge you people in England may want to jump off too but here in Merica we walk our own paths and they're in miles, not kilometers

Actually, a lot of aircraft need periodic reboots to prevent a system failure. It's not really an issue as aircraft never stay powered up for more than a few days at a time.
