Quote from: "Bricktop"Was a unicorn sitting in it?


I believe it was real.



It did not have a machine cut appearance.



Was very irregular looking as if it was made out of hand tools.



Anyways she was/is really rich.



Lived in the best part of Vancouver in a mansion



Her mother's family owned a department store.



And her family was mentioned in Peter Newman's book, The Canadian Establishment '

So I doubt that she had any reason to 'fake it' or put imitation furniture in her home.



But of course for reasons of privacy I won't post the person's name here

You see something and you have to go to the library to find out what it is..







No wonder our brains are getting smaller.

Nowadays going to the library for info makes your brain smaller. You can google whatever you like to find out within minutes. Saves gas and time.

Books are to information what horses are to modern transport.



They are inefficient, expensive, sometimes difficult to find, and often the information you seek is just a small part of the contents of a large printed volume that you've no interest in.



On the other hand, the internet can be inaccurate, deceptive, unverified or simply untrue.
