I love that both the swords broke off below the hilt and still hit each to smash into pieces.

Ah yes, the entire premise behind the book Timeline. The movie was a farcical endeavor at most.

It's always amusing when a customer says "they'll never come here again". They're the exact type of customer we don't want to come so really they're doing us a favor.

Interesting that they used the descriptor "thug". Historically a "thug" was a member of a religious organization of robbers and assassins in India. Devotees of the goddess Kali, the Thugs waylaid and strangled their victims, usually travelers, in a ritually prescribed manner. They were suppressed by the British in the 1830s.

Is that not a standard part of the day? Doesn't everyone allocate 4-5hrs to read a 500 page book in one sitting? I feel so detached from society.

So without a major change in what our society deems important this is not something that's ever going to be anything more than a passing fad.

You missed the main point entirely, but maybe I just wasn't clear enough. Not once did I say it isn't possible. I'm sure there are a few places that are doing this since there is money to be gotten in this specific market. However, the amount of money is significantly less than in your standard burial in a standard cemetery. They can put significantly more bodies in a regular cemetery than they can plant trees. Of course forests have trees closer than 10-20 feet apart. They also have trees 30, 40, or 50 feet apart. You have tree clusters or rings of trees that form. But then the next closest trees to them are much farther away. I'm sure they plan that accordingly when designing the park cemeteries. But, and this is a big but, land is limited. Here's a sizing guide for trees: https://www.arborday.org/trees/righttreeandplace/size.cfm On the other hand normal plots can be placed 6-12 inches apart.

This post caused me to have the song, as portrayed in Hocus Pocus, run through my head for hours. So thanks for that.

And then in 40 years when the cemetery has run out of plots and the trees have matured they can cut them all down, clear the land and replant with new dead people. Trees take up space. Have you ever been to a cemetery? The plots are just a few feet from each other. There is very little chance of cemeteries burying bodies and planting trees on each one when they need to 10, 20, or even more feet of separation for growth. Go walk in the woods sometime and count the feet between the trees.

The little ones are cute. I'll give you that, but no one who has ever come across a full grown adult would ever describe them as cute. Bristly fur, beady eyes, mouth open with teeth bared, giant rat tail, and hissing at you. Not exactly a cuddly animal.

$900 billion bill and they plan on giving $600 to individuals that make less than $99k a year. But that's not all. It was tied to a $1.6 trillion bill which includes things like $10 million to gender studies in Pakistan, $500 million for Israeli defense, and many more. At over 5k pages long not one person who voted for it could have actually read it. Plus if they wanted to vote for the stimulus bill they had to vote for the defense bill since it was tied in. This is why term limits should be required for all elected positions. Fun article related: https://fee.org/articles/how-10-million-for-gender-programs-in-pakistan-got-tied-to-a-covid-relief-bill/

Peta always reminds me of the Noble Savage idiot movement. The Noble savage, in literature, is an idealized concept of uncivilized man, who symbolizes the innate goodness of one not exposed to the corrupting influences of civilization. However, there were people who thought it sounded great and attempted to pull it into real life instead of just fiction. Alot of people were killed by "savages" because some moron couldn't separate reality from fiction. Then they just brushed it off by saying they were corrupted because of their interaction with "civilized" man.

It wouldn't surprise me if this is sorta true. However, given the void on that completely new and designed exhibit for the museum I'm pretty positive the one at the British museum did not come from that exhibit. Now, the exhibit may have purposely darkened that spot with a plaque that says where the last sister is located but it's unlikely.

Technically, Sprite is the fake 7up. 7up was developed in 1929 and Sprite in 1959.
