The technical term for this dish is Vichy Carrots, in which you combine Carrots, Salt, Pepper, sugar, and Vichy water (a sparkling water from the Vichy region) and cook them down until the carrots are glazed.

10The Giant Claw (1957) This film’s bird-monster—with its accordion neck, rolling bug eyes, fang-filled mouth, and ratty Mohawk—looks like it was hit by a cord of ugly sticks. It ate planes and trains and destroyed buildings by using its face like a wrecking ball, which explains a lot. The creature was not a prehistoric vulture awakened from an iceberg nor was he a radiation-enhanced turkey from Bikini Island. “That bird is extraterrestrial....
10 Kim Jong-il, North Korea, (in power 1994–2011) [Update: Kim Jong-il died in 2011 and was succeeded by his son Kim Jong-un.

Sexual abuse of the naive and innocent by authority figures is nothing new to human history, but what makes this example of it especially heinous is that it has taken place under the unwatchful eye of the most powerful Christian organization in the world.

There is no non-Christian history of such activities, but Domitian is known to have been tyrannically opposed to all other religions other than Roman....

I’m never going to accomplish anything; that’s perfectly clear to me. I’m never going to be famous. My name will never be writ large on the roster of Those Who Do Things. I don’t do anything....
