Gotta fix that headline. "A numerologist claims a Biblical prophecy says the Rapture is coming April 23." There, now we have a much more accurate portrayal of the story.

Most of the "Art of War" isn't groundbreaking. And wasn't groundbreaking at the time. It was and is however a great compendium of ways to make your enemies hate you even more and is generally considered more effective than sticking out your tongue at them and saying "Nah, nah, na, nah, naah". Also, it was so that you could make better plans on the battlefield than: Step one, have enemy. Step two, have weapon. Step three,. Step four, win!!

Was very confused for a second. Thought it was talking about the other contractions like: I'm, wasn't, didn't, or isn't.

Alot of it is quality control. The restrictions and guidelines required of vet. medicine is much more relaxed than that for human consumption. Then there's just the market. Many people are just not as willing to spend the money for a pet that they would for a human. So while big pharma can charge 800% (just and example, not a fact) over cost of production for human medicine they can only get 200% (also just an example) for pet. They still make money both ways and they're not just not going to sell simply because they don't make as much.

Was right, this is hilarious.

Like I said last time this was posted here there are several code violations that I can spot. If it's on city property the city would have no recourse other than to remove the stairs.

Not illegal. Also, not Mermaids Frolicking. The top picture is Les Baigneuses by Paul Albert Laurens and the bottom picture is The Caresses of the Wave by Nicolas Auguste Laurens. The artists, while having similar last names, were not related; but they were French.

Yes, I'm sure a 25 yr old who made 100k would settle for the kind of internet you could get for $20 a month in 2018. I have no idea where they could have found such a thing but it surely was at least 128Kbs maybe even sometimes 256Kbs. And housekeeping for a $1 a day? What a deal. Bet nothing was ever out of order or dirty in that abode.

Boundless, so fairly interesting if I don't get myself killed being stupid. Or being struck by a meteor..... which then summons animals..... that attack on sight. Other than that it's cool.

Big rock make big splash. Plus, my rock was definitely bigger than yours.

The right stick can be hard to come by. It's best to keep the good ones when you find them.

The pigeon thing sounds nice but those things are nasty. They're like rats but can fly.

While interesting, this view is no longer considered the most likely. There is a general consensus among historians that while pagan beliefs did get added, the originating holiday was not in fact from those pagan beliefs. Don't get me wrong. There were and are Pagan holidays that occur around Easter and many were celebrated by the very same people that celebrated Easter. So it's possible that people blended holidays together. But, as stated, it's now generally not a holiday considered to have derived from a Pagan one. Since there is no definitive proof either way it's up to the individual to decide which way they lean and what to do with that information. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Easter-holiday, https://www.history.com/topics/holidays/history-of-easter

Hmm.... funny that "Sci enti fic" does mean "Know that it is fiction" but "Scienti fic" means "Scientific fiction" and "Sci entific" means "Know the originator" and "Scientific" means......."Scientific" because we already use the Latin word in everyday English.

The coining of the phrase, in the meaning we use today, was used a by a journalist expounding on how there wasn't much use of "common sense" even though it should be something anyone living in a society would have.

That's when you hire a metal artist to weld it back into a functional state while maintaining the semblance of the joke.

Muscle and bone weigh more than fat. It's entirely possible neither is lying.
