            Does that mean in a Jenga sense the war on terror was instantly won after the towers had been fallen?

          A game where a tower of rectangular blocks are stacked, and players take turns trying to remove one block at a time without toppling the tower.

        It was a poor reference to a quote from the TV show Community. The half Palestinian character Abed says that his father’s falafel restaurant had been struggling for a while because “9/11 was pretty much the 9/11 of the falafel business”

    Now I wonder how this graph would look like for Stephen Kings “The Stand” during the pandemic.

    Did people want to read a book about a flu-like pandemic wiping out humanity or rather not?
