ismoonastar, My instincts are to lie low.
1777 – Marquis de Sade arrested without charge, imprisoned in Vincennes
fortress
* A masochist and a sadist are talking
* Masochist, "Hurt me, hurt me!"
* Sadist, casts an askance glance at the masochist, and says, "No."
1982 – Pink Floyd’s album “Dark Side of the Moon” marks 402 weeks on
Billboard Top 200 Album charts:
* "The doorman of Abbey Road Studios, Gerry O'Driscoll, is heard speaking at
1:37, answering the question: "What is 'the dark side of the moon'?" with:
"There is no dark side in the moon, really. Matter of fact, it's all dark.
The only thing that makes it look light is the sun.""
1950 – Peter Gabriel, English rock vocalist: English teachers have the
Grammar Hammer. Peter has a Sledgehammer.

"Lie low" for whatever reason didn't look correct (it was) and that led to
this.

Methinks the Lord Byron quote is behind the times.
The heart's instinct now has people giving thousands of dollars to "soul
mates" online, maybe we can come up with a modern version of this.
The heart is 100% without logic and is sometimes the cause of bad decisions!

I like the Dukes of Hazzard theme, too, but it's not politically correct to
like that show anymore -- and I used to always think, "Oh noooo! They've
wrecked another Charger!" Until I found out when I was older that Dodge made
180,000 of those model years' Chargers... 😂

Yeah, this one jumped out at me since I just this past weekend finished the
game Assassin's Creed: Mirage, which takes place in the year 861 in Baghdad
under the Abbasid Caliphate. So yeah, that one lasted 400 years more. As
always, interesting the number of actual historical figures that you interact
with in the game, and how they include actual historical events. Like the
real death of the Caliph al-Mutawakkil, the uprising of slaves that same year
(probably why they picked that year for the game), the undercurrent of
dependence on foreigners to run the bureaucracy and fill the ranks of the
military that drives parts of the plot, and so on.
