It's just reaching out to their customer base. You've got people out there that can't read Pistachio but know it's a green nut.

That was such a great movie.

I love how California is leading the rest of the country by a large margin but it's not being shown in the news

The phenomenon of old guys wearing pants like this is due to how the male body ages. The butt loses it's shape and flattens out. This means that their belts don't have anything to catch on to hold their pants up. So what do they do? They pull their pants up past their stomachs so that they can use their belts to keep their pants from falling down.

I thought that was a ridiculous bath tub at first.

Not saying that it wasn't cool of them but at the same time Mexico still had indentured servitude. When Mexico freed their slaves they then immediately placed them in indentured servitude for 99 years. This would include any children born from parents that were indentured. Basically all they did was change the legal definition of slaves to indentured servants. Now, most people didn't have slaves nor did they have indentured servants in either country. By the time of the American Civil war it's estimated that only 9% of the people owned slaves. I'm not sure what percentage in Mexico but I'd guess it would have had "indentured servants" but I'd bet it'd be similar.

Pole-arms were probably one of the most crucial of all weapon forms in medieval and earlier battle. But they are rarely talked about. Even roman legions which championed short swords and shields extensively used pole-arms. As a whole they were easy to use. Easy to make and cheaper to field than just about any other weapon.

Well ain't that just the bees knees.

There needs to be some context. Three to four novels a day? Week? Month? Year? The last two are not really that impressive. The week is generally normal for avid readers. In a day would be quite impressive unless they were short books. I would consider a short book anything under 250 pages.

Every time as a kid when I had to go into a basement, at night, by myself. The amount of werewolves that some how found there way into said basements was astounding.

I'd watch that movie.

I'm not saying she's necessarily wrong but that whole concept makes alot assumptions. There are many reasons, of which there is no way I'd be able to list them all, that this wouldn't really hold true. The first is that breaking femur is not easy. In fact most human will live their entire lives without breaking it. It is entirely in the scope of reason to have a civilization go for decades or centuries without someone falling into this category. Second, if you do break a femur it was probably a pretty nasty injury. It's extremely likely that that wasn't the only injury and complications can occur quite easily. If the person died from an infection or as a result of other injuries then of course their femur wouldn't be healed. That doesn't mean someone wasn't there trying to take care of them. I'm sure there are lots more scenarios. While I get the intent of what she said as a professor I'd think she take a little more care in what she says.

Yes, thank you. People are going to cause an accident because they want to be nice but instead they're just causing confusion. If you want to be nice just go and follow the rules of the road, all of them. I'm not in my car because I like driving in traffic and have nothing better to do. I'm there because I have to go somewhere.
Now if you want to be nice when there is not a specific law or rule that dictates what drivers are supposed to do then please go ahead. You want to let someone out of side street as you're pulling up to a light or waiting a tad longer to let that person out when the light turns green? Then go ahead.

Sounds like the city of Shah Joy in Afghanistan. There's a north and a south. South Shah Joy is above North Shah Joy. The south was built on top of a mountain.

That's the best age to learn that way though. You're less likely to seriously injure yourself and the lesson really sticks.

I really appreciate the banana for scale.

Was very confused for a moment trying to figure out why 40 thousand people were writing about those particulars subjects.
