1. .

I'm off to bed. Goosing this once so it doesn't sink too soon.

2. "So?"

[frogcycle]

3. funny - about thirty threads with the number "4000"

in the title got hundreds of responses, and vaulted to the GP in seconds. This - not so much. Your sarcasm re Cheney is the only response. Maybe I should have made the title "OMG, 4000 Dead!" And then put a subtitle "saying here are the latest."

I posted the same thing a month ago - Feb rather than March - and the thread got "legs." People responded, recommended, etc. Went on about how the faces made it so much more real. This time, something else caught their eye. Maybe its the phase of the moon. Somebody posted 4000 commas and got a bunch of responses. Somebody else 4000 names. Ah well, a few people looked, and I hope some of them thought more than "So?" A handful went to Zeitlangers and looked at some of the back months.
