Max I was thinking the same thing, I wouldn't risk getting locked in a super-secure room in an abandoned hospital...but then again, I wouldn't go one tenth of the places Mr. Motts goes, so the question is moot! Puddleboy...I'm taking a guess how you got your name! If I was trapped in a basement amid soggy newspapers and a Marvin Gay album, I might make a puddle too! Chipy's story is the stuff of nightmares, IMO. There's weird junk in old houses, like Asbestos. But when you're a kid, you do crazy things...

	Max Oh, yes, our staff is very sensitive about the art selection. Nothing that would make a nervous person feel agitated!

	Max I see PETA, with the "T" turned inot a dagger-shape. Patients Eradicate Therapeutic Assistants! I was gonna say, "Beth, I hear you calling...," but Ed got it first. "Don't mess with meth Beth, don't mess with meth SSeth, don't mess with meth...Gwynneth." --Reno 911

	Max Grifs, you could still stick your willy out of the slot! Anyway, since deinstitutionalization, the "violent ward" patients are now housed in prisons in similar cells...except they're locked up 23 1/2 hours a day without even a semblance of therapy!

	Max I wouldn't want to be on either side of that door nowadays! Eddie, there's no ghostly face, and Mona, I don' t appreciate you disparaging crazy people having sex. I've been called "crazy" and I'm no virgin, furthermore, a few of my GFs were certifiable but sex was no more "gross" than if you were as sane as Socrates!

	Max So cool. I'd want a stairwell of that design if I could build my own mansion. (that's like the biggest IF in the world!)
