Just making sure whether physics is still working properly. Better safe than sorry.

Why do people still believe this? In order for a star to explode it has to go supernova, which our sun will not do due to a significant lack of mass. Who keeps perpetuating this nonsense of the sun going supernova? Yes, I know that was not the point of the joke but the knowledge when stars go kaboom has been around longer than I am.

Poor Aqua is giving her best!

Well, I'm not a troll out of a Pratchett novel and therefore, don't count one, two, many, lots. So, I think narrowing it down to three is not that big a pool of countries to choose from.

I'll always think of Snap! when reading that name. Yes, I'm old.

There is no such discussion, at least not among historians. At the same time early crossbows were used in China Greeks were using crossbows, too. There have been many parallel inventions over the course of history and this appears to be one of them.

People just don't understand democracy. You don't look for the party that has 100% overlap with your interests and opinions; that would effectively mean one party for every voter. Instead, you have three options: 1) Vote for the party/candidate that is least repulsive to you. 2) Determine that you're unable to find a party which agrees with your ideas, form a new party yourself and gather followers to do better. 3) Abstain from voting but consequently shut the fuck up about the "rotten system" when you couldn't be bothered to go for option 1) or 2).

One debatable date, two arbitrary and one insane; I mean 1912, really? 1806 I would have understood but 1912? Why 1912? Did the last descendant of Emperor Nepo secretly board the Titanic and sank with it?

Better to lose a good friend than a bad joke has always been my motto. And I'm running out of friends.

Great, this will keep me awake all night. I'm about almost certain I've seen that one and I'm pretty sure that some weird shit happens to them. Something about diving and not being able to return. But I cannot remember the titel or what exactly happens next. Thank you so much; sleep deprivation, here I come.

Michael Collins!

I don't know where you live but everything is back to normal here.

What's not to like about Italy?

Is this some kind of US joke that I'm too european to understand? Who hires a real estate agent to sell their own house to their grandchild?

NJ? Really, New Jersey?

Don't give me hope.

Godzilla had a stroke and died while reading this.

Stimmt ja gar nicht!

Yeah, because the USA and Russia didn't exercise their own flavour of imperialism (Pan-Slavism & Manifest Destiny for example). All major and some minor industrialised nations took part in that madness. It's just that some of us quit or were forced to leave the game. By the way, Japan is missing.

I hope Godzilla is okay.

Biopic... please mean biopic. I really don't want to imagine a Roosevelt biopsy.

I have yet to meet an atheist who thinks that.

Obviously, I would think that one of the Leningrad Cowboys knows the deceased.
