Remember in 1999 when the Mars Climate Orbiter crashed into Mars because the ground-based computer software which produced output in non-SI units of pound-seconds (lbf×s) instead of the metric units of newton-seconds (N×s) specified in the contract between NASA and Lockheed? This is one reason why NASA switched to the metric system seven years ago.

If this were true would other things be a complete mess because they "think fast"? Like typing on a computer or playing an instrument or chopping vegetables. "Oh my God, I've totally destroyed this cucumber I was chopping up! Must be because I was thinking too fast.". "What's that God awful noise?", "It's Sherlock Holmes playing his violin.", "It sounds like a cat falling down some stairs!", "That's because he's thinking about the notes too fast." "Better write this e-mail now, 'Hi all just dropping you a quick e-mail to say thatwe'restilssioiowieorioeiroweiwijeiwsdsdfdf.' Done! Aaaaand Send." Or is bad hand writing bad because the bad hand writer doesn't give a f*ck maybe?

I would watch Shrek 12. Has anyone else noticed that years ago they stopped using Roman numerals for film sequels? e.g. Rocky IV, Superman III, Star Trek VI. Now they use normals numbers or just extended titles e.g. Die Hard 2, Die Hard: With A Vengeance. If ever there was a film franchise that needed to use Roman numerals again it would've been Shrek with their ye olde medieval take on things. I would watch Shrek XII.

A years worth or more of rubbish collected under the stadium after people dropped it under the seats. Someone throws a lit cigarette under there. The stadium was like sitting on a giant bonfire.

There's a "g" in night because it's still spelt the Middle English way the word was pronounced. As the printing press got going the spelling was preserved while the pronunciation was not. No say "night" with the hard "g" and you're speaking like they did eight hundred years ago.
The smallest castle in the world 12 comments

This is Broadway Tower, Worcestershire, England built in 1799. In architectural terms this is a "folly" as the building was built for decorative purposes. Lady Coventry built it because the hill was a beacon hill and she wanted to see if a beacon lit from the tower could be seen from her house. The answer was "yes". Y'all can rest easy now.

That's probably because most parents don't have script writers helping them with their fictional child like these fictional parents do.

Five hundred years ago people thought the earth was round, just like they had for hundreds and hundreds of years before that. People thinking the earth was flat is a myth that's been around since the 19th century.

You'll get air bubbles in the microwaved tea bag which will screw up the taste of the tea. Also you're cooking the teabag which will screw up the taste of the tea. It's okay if that's what you're used to but try it with stove boiled water and you'll taste the difference. Like I say it's cool if you don't like that non-microwaved taste but it's a different way.

Importance of the oxford comma 3 comments
guest · 10 years ago
For people who don't use the Oxford Comma (the majority of people by the way) the "and" acts as the last separator. The Oxford Comma rule solves a problem of it's own darn making.

Why I Use The Oxford Comma 1 comments
guest · 10 years ago
For people who do not use the Oxford Comma rule the "and" is the last separator. It's that simple. You only need to use an Oxford Comma for readers who don't understand that they've been handicapped by someone teaching them the Oxford Comma rule.

The original name for a butterfly was not a flutterby. The name in old english for a butterfly is butterfluge and refers to the fact that the cabbage butterfly, the most common butterfly at the time was a white yellow, the color of butter. Hence the name butterfly.

I prefer using the oxford comma 2 comments

Normally the "and" marks the logical separation between the last two objects therefore you have the paradox of the Oxford Comma being needed only if you've been taught the motherloving Oxford Comma rule.

Crush some almonds, soak them in water, drain, you got almond milk. Medieval people used it in recipes as a replacement for cows milk because they didn't have the means to keep cows milk fresh. Medieval people knew their shit.
