Mrf. Commented on the athelind post, I think s/he's missing the point.

"Puncturing the bubble" was poor phrasure on my part. I meant to pass on that one mustn't let the issues paralyze one.

This popped up during the conversation that triggered the post you linked to: Box Office Totals Adjusted for Ticket Inflation.

Avatar's only at 34 right now -- but that's for less than 6 weeks, vs. the full release span (encompassing multiple releases) for Star Wars and Gone with the Wind.

Have you seen "Scratch" yet? That's the lottery episode of Numb3rs.

[scarfman]

That's the one of which I wrote above.

I wanted to be certain before I said anything.

My question is, why would the Eppes family have memories of scratching off lottery tickets while opening Christmas presents? They're Jewish!

I don't believe the mother was.
