Life is nothing like TV. I need to turn off my TV and see the real world! :study:

It's better to see the real world, and meet real people.

Too bad real people think I'm weird and tend to avoid me most of the time. :|

Stuttgart, where a tennis tournament is currently being held, is German for "stud farm," because it is a famous center for horse breeding.

This was a few days ago, but I learned the difference between jealousy and envy. Jealousy is being afraid that someone will take something from you, while envy is wishing you had something somebody else has.

So if, say, a guy is afraid his girlfriend will leave him for another man, that would be jealousy.

The fact that I wish I had the very rare 2001 Animal Crossing play set that some YouTuber has is envy. In fact, I haven't even watched the video yet out of fear I will turn greener than a field of clovers from envy, and die. :eew: :skull:

Olympic Marathon champion Alain Mimoun (Melbourne, 1956), lost nine pounds during a hot and steamy race, amazing because he was just 135 pounds to start with. He also finished strongly, in good health, while many others, including old rival Zatopek (sixth) staggered to the finish in complete exhaustion. The 35 year old French Algerian runner actually refused any type of assistance at the end of the race, as he wanted to wait for Zatopek to finish.

Except for a few species of bats, New Zealand has no native mammals.
