I'd rather look at the sun than those nasty things.

whatever those things are, they're ugly

I hate courtrooms, they are very intimidating -

The scrappers missed these, the heating covers are still in place.

Whatever it was for, I wouldn't mind that in my office to keep a couple co-workers in when they start to annoy me!

wouldn't it be cool if there was a camera in that mirror hooked up to a recording device that was taking pictures of you!

I HAVE to ask, any projection equipment left?

very atmospheric indeed!

Something about curved halls that frightens me. When I was young I was visiting someone in a high school, a very rough and troublesome high school, and the hallways there were dark and curved. Scared the bejeepers out of me.

Wow, sweep the floor, dust the furniture and I could move right in.

Gives new meaning to the phrase "sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite" -

Probably because the area around him is disintegrating -

The spiders and webs would definitely freak me out, especially in the dark.

They were doing hernia checks on 10 year olds? How many kids that age have hernias? Do they still do this sort of thing because if I were a parent and my grammar school child had to line up with a bunch of other butt naked kids waiting for some guy to do this, I'd maybe not allow it. Tell them I'll have our primary care doctor do this, thank you. And from what I remember from the girls, their experience wasn't any better. I was a very shy kid at that age and hated school to begin with, was always picked on and teased so having this happen was very traumatic for me. Fortunately it didn't cause any permanent psychological damage (that I know of) but I remember classmates in tears because other kids were making fun of their naked bodies, weight issues or ahem.. shortcomings. I find it strange that they stopped that when I got to junior high, which seems to be when they should have started this. Maybe I wouldn't have been so nervous if I was older. By the time I got to junior high I didn't care what anyone did to me.

I remember those sugar cubes too now that you mention it! It's no wonder we were so traumatized as kids, between this and lining up naked with all the boys in your class while some doctor went down the line telling you to "turn your head and cough" - to this day, I still don't know what that was all about!!
