  1. 300 trillions of water molecules are thrown in the air when I sneeze. "390 billion tons of ice and snow", what's that compared to the oceans weight? What's that compared to 50 years ago? Big numbers are impressive, but need to be relative, to be credible.

  2. Better to redirect to a different webserver for 404s that can lookup the URL for broken links and send you back to the right URL, then create hundreds or thousands of .htaccess files.

    It's a fucking than. Newbies who read your post will create these garbage .htaccess crap files.

    Isn't pain necessary? The woman cuts her foot while walking on the beach and doesn't feel anything. She is heavily bleeding, and keeps smiling because she doesn't feel stress either.
