He won because whislt everybody else would stop to sleep and eat etc. Cliffy didn't know you were allowed to, and as such just kept shuffling on and on and on through the night. In his gumboots.

The original London Bridge with all the houses build on it was probably pretty impressive in a Kowloon City sota way.

Wasn't there supposed to be a detective video game that takes place in Kowloon? Seem to remember hearing about it waaaaay back, but don't remember it ever coming out. edit: Yeah, that is way more bad rear end.

Then people would drink from the river and get cholera. Adding new torrents of vomit and poo poo to the streets, seeping into the river, which other people would drink and get cholera. The circle of poop. FreudianSlippers has a new favorite as of 03:35 on Dec 13, 2017 |

They've been around over 500 million years and at one point were one of the most abundant lifeforms on the planet, there's some limestone beds which are made up almost entirely of crinoid fragments.
