Defenestration is the act of throwing someone or something out of a window...
"..Although defenestrations can be fatal due to the height of the window through which a person is thrown or throws oneself or due to lacerations from broken glass, the act of defenestration need not carry the intent or result of death." ----- I know I'm a tad late on this but doesn't this seem to defeat the purpose of using tomato as a reference? |

I'm making this tonight to go along with the paella I am also making for the first time. I'll let you guys know if it's any good. Some of you may have had it already. |

Jesus. Good luck.
I'm much more curious as to how your paella comes out. One important trick with paella seems to be constantly keeping it moist, try to continuously add chicken or some other type of broth as it cooks. |

I'm reading Alice in Wonderland right now and near the beginning there is a part where Alice and a bunch of animals get wet and the Dodo bird suggests they have a race to get dry. The race ends up being them just running around for about a half hour after which they are dry. When someone queries whom the winner might be, the Dodo replies:

I thought this quote was interesting on several levels (and yes, I will list them upon request), so I Googled it. Turns out it's used as a metaphor for something in psychology: Dodo bird verdict - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | |

![]() The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them. ![]() |

They did however talk about a different book that is a more realistic story of a group of men that actually did escape and had a far less travel to freedom. I'll look for the name for the book of that account. | |
