My goodness, it certainly does take a long time to read all the posts after being E&T for all of the day.  Of course, it would have been quicker if I hadn't also been paying quasi-attention to the TV and fixing some dinner at the same time.
Ann: 5-page paper!  I scoff at 5-page papers!
Ann: 20-page papers before!  I scoff at 20-page papers!

Why do I do all this scoffing?  Because of the 76-page paper I wrote for my Script Analysis class!
Danger?  I typically avoid danger, so I have no exciting stories to tell.  Best I can offer is doing a 360 across the other lane and finding myself on the opposite shoulder last winter.
