Not if you printed both weights on everything for say five years, then phase out the pounds.

Passwords = Name of site and some clever sequence of characters. For instance, my Blogger account would be: Blogger1*2*=3* or some such. Gmail account would be Gmail1*2*=3*. I'm thinking that is a very good idea. I wish I had known it twenty years ago.

This reminds me of the assertion I posted a while back that boys get a leg up on basic physics because they stand and pee, therefore they can watch the dynamics, whereas little girls never see their stream.
What a wonderful thing to think about.

Jessica Biel
I saw her in a movie and thought she was not only extremely beautiful, but a very good actress.
I thought to myself that I bet she has beautiful feet, so I Googled it.
I credit that deformity on wearing too many high heels.

They should do it like the University of South Carolina did it, leave the quad dirt until the students trod the desired path, then that's where they put the sidewalks. To curtail rounding off the corners they planted huge briar bushes.
Brilliant.

Dear Ralph, Put "white couple" into Google and press images.
As with Socrates, it doesn't really matter if he said it or not (or even whether he existed at all).
... as it happens, though, Serling did say that, and the context is important, too (though you can suss it by knowing who Serling was and how he wrote). It was the epilogue to an episode of The Twilight Zone called The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street which is, as with most of his work, timeless.
If you can't watch it, at least read the Wikipedia summary, specifically the last para of the plot section describing the final scenes:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monsters_Are_Due_on_Maple_Street
I've praised Serling in your comments section before; he was an incredible person whose writing could be simultaneously fiery and angry yet empathetic and hopeful. And the voice on the guy! He was like Steven Pinker or Sam Harris in that he had the infuriating ability to speak extemporaneously in perfectly-formed sentences. I can't even think in such sentences, let alone speak.
I already linked an interview he did with Mike Wallace in 1959, so here's a wonderfully-animated one he did in 1963 with Australian host Binny Lum (who was also an utter delight). My favorite sentence from that interview (on the topic of writers' habits and the spinning of yarns): "Some liars go to prison, others write television shows."
Charlie Brooker is kind of a contemporary Serling. I'm sure one of your commenters has mentioned his Black Mirror series; very worthwhile if you like dark near-future sci-fi.
You, sir, are a treasure.
