Oops, I've seen the first Die Hard movie back in the day wit the cussing, but I'd only seen in on cable, expurgated, for a long time.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Growing up in KC I heard gunfire pretty regularly and once encountered someone who had just been shot. I don't recall ever hearing gunfire when I lived in Detroit.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The City of Mount Isa in Queensland (population 22,000) covers an area greater than Switzerland. [link]
I occasionally think they designated this whole area a city just to mess with the Swiss.

Here's another Wikipedia chart that shows Somerville at #17 density: [link]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I knew Brooklyn was crowded, but 35k people per square mile is a LOT of people.
(This may be why I rolled my eyes at Obama's SOTU initiative to provide funding for enough clean energy for 3 million homes. Yay, slightly less than a third of one city...)
