before losing one's sanity. I'm probably going to find out.

10. Actually, I did see that. Then this race thing came on, which didn't look interesting,
so I went over to MSNBC, and *Boom* I'm back in Jonestown, again.

I questioned my sanity just for making it through those.

GET BETTER PLEASE :hug:

Surely there's music and a book to read...

Reading might help you sleep, it always helps me :)

With Soledad O'Brien. I thought it was pretty good.

6. Do they mention in any of them that it was Flavor-Aid and not Kool-Aid that they drank?
Sick of Kool-Aid having such a bad rep because of that. x(

:P

7. Why, no, they don't. Just call it an unsweetened children's drink.
Interesting.

11. They didn't sweeten it on the practice runs, so that people would
expect it to be bitter and would still drink it when they added the cyanide.

See, I know WAAAYY too much about this.

12. the answer is: two.
Edited on Sun Nov-16-08 08:49 PM by Gormy Cuss
One is disturbing but not inflicting insanity. Two puts the subject at a very high risk. Three pretty much guarantees it.
