That's interesting. That picture is of the Playmobil Suite in the Waldorf Hilton. They probably had that stock picture from a story on the 40th Anniversary.

With out Pynedor saying it was a hotel I would have assumed it was a kids room, an awesom one at that. Now to actually read  :P

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Sloppy reporting to use a hotel picture for an article about people accumulating too much stuff

They also surveyed our place. But the original text got modified for we were a statistical outlier in the category "toys".

Here is their first version:

Quote from: BBC
The other homes were just as packed. One family in the US had 39 pairs of shoes, 90 DVDs or videos, 139,325,545 toys, 212 CDs and 438 books and magazines. They had so many things that they kept household stuff in the garage. There was so much stuff in there, there was no room left for cars.
