My brother and I are having the world's slowest Three Stooges
marathon.  We watch each of their Columbia shorts on its 80th
anniversary.  We started in 2014, and will finish in 2039.  Last
Sunday we watched Saved by the Belle.  On August 25th we'll watch
Calling All Curs.

As for Yankee Stadium, note that the new one cost a thousand times
more than the old one, despite seating fewer spectators.  The true
inflation rate is a lot higher than is claimed.
