When you change channels, you will occasionally get an hourglass for a few seconds, for no apparent reason.

The USA could always try not lowering themselves to the hideous and depraved moral standards of those they execute... and just not kill them.
oops
So that's where I dropped my car keys. I know it was a good night, but when my mate said we'd been to Mars and back, I thought he was joking!
