Housing purposely cut INTO a hill or mountain are not considered caves which are naturally occurring. The writer here is quite mistaken.

Reply to TIL the band Yo La Tengo once reenacted the entire "The Chinese Restaurant" episode of "Seinfeld" live. This was part of their 2011 tour where the first half of every show was decided by a wheel of fortune spun by an audience member. Link includes a video of this moment. by Bubbly-Incident
I like Seinfeld but this would make me walk out of any club.

Reply to TIL: Regina Hall (Brenda from the "Scary Movie" franchise) wanted and tried to become a Catholic Nun in 2010, but was rejected by the order. by euromonic
I loved her in Boston Legal. Her performance at this year's at the Emmys/Golden Globes(s?) was kind of contrary to this perception of her when she (acted?) played like a horny cougar.

I love Linda a lot for many reasons but Ringo really scored with Barbara Bach. They had a very stormy drunken early times but got through them and came out the other side, even stronger than they ever were. Get well Ringo from Covid. Barbara needs you.
