The attack on Pearl Harbour was performed by the Imperial Japanese Navy. Since aircraft carriers have really hard time sailing through land masses, they tend to prefer travelling at sea. Why do we need to bring aircraft carriers into this you ask? The arguably best Japanese fighter plane in 1941 was the Mitsubishi A6M Zero with maximum range (we are not even talking about operational range) of ~3000 km. So yes, actually, that is the correct route for the attack on a flat earth. And yes, I am no fun at parties.

According to a friend of mine, all it takes to not love him is meeting him when he is hungry and there is no vegan food available.

Looks like a klippschliefer to me. Fun fact: klippschliefer are the closest living relatives of elephants.

"Most people", with the exception of most Europeans who don't live in some obscure valley in the Alps. The rest of us only know about Krampus from American TV shows.

That's ~30 years old news with as much credibility as all other conspiracy to theories. It's been refuted by everybody with even a basic understanding of history. We did this at university when I was a freshman as a kind of intellectual fiinger exercise.

Insurance guy speaking: If you just look at the absolute number of crashes per person than, yes, women drive safer. But that doesn't give you the whole picture, you have to put it into perspective by looking at the relative numbers. If you take into consideration that on average men spend a lot more time driving, statistics show that men are involved in far less accidents, meaning crashes per kilometer. While that being said, men's crashes are a lot more likely to be fatal and more expansive due to travelling father and usually faster. And finally, it's men under 25 and above 65 who cause the most accident among the male drivers and shouldn't be allowed to drive, at least from an insurance companies point of view. So, while women are more likely to oopsie daisy your side mirror in the parking lot, they propably won't kill you.

That comic is so wrong it hurts. 1) Troll physics at its best. To make it simple: A nerf gun transmits kinetic energy via the bolt it shoots and by that you have an action and an equal reaction. Therefore, the force is applied equally to both astronauts. 2) A normal gun would work perfectly well in space up to the time it becomes to cold to operate. Oxygen from the environment is not required as the gun uses the oxygen stored in the ammunition. That is the reason why modern firearms can be fired under water.

We couldn't start a war even if we wanted to. Given the present state the Bundeswehr is in, it wouldn't even be able to defend Germany let alone attack anyone. Well, maybe if we had a few years to prepare, it's not raining and Luxemburg had a national holiday, we might take it. But my money would be on Luxemburg.

I don't think this is about grammatical gender. Though I won't pretend to know enough Japanese to go into a full linguistical analysis, Japanese does have a whole spectrum of words for the first person singular and their usage depends on lots of factors. Some of which clearly indicate whether the person speaking is male or female. Using those incorrectly will cause amusement for the native speakers.

That's actually pretty accurate but most of us also know that there's a giant rectangle in the middle called Kansas where nobody lives.
