Phew glad they labeled it. I almost mistook that for a fish.

Well now I'm interested. What do the underpants have to do with the forest? Is the forest a killer because of the underpants or are the underpants evil because of the forest?

Shame on you baseball is a great sport, badminton on the other hand I wouldn't mind sacrificing.

This is same for being openminded. Being openminded doesn't mean you accept every position or opinion but that you'd be willing to consider the position or opinion before making up your mind about that position. Rejecting an opinion or position is a valid outcome of that process even if something simple like I like to eat meat. If you ever have a conversation and someone attempts to use the same argument as above the reverse is a good response. If they "understand" that you why you like to eat meat, because it tastes good, then they should also eat meat. Letting a person get away with such a horrible argument doesn't do them or you any good and should be stopped whenever you can.

That is the best thing ever.

Most descriptions say a scourge of cords which is just a bunch or ropes or cords connected by a single handle. However, after spending the time making that, he never actually hit anyone with it. He's described as throwing over or dumping the money exchangers tables. Knocking over the pigeon sellers chairs and shooing out the oxen, sheep, and they're handlers. I presume this because the pigeons were in cages and would have flown away but the sheep and oxen would have been stuck in the courtyard. The money exchangers would have been forced to stop their business and pick up all they're coins. All the while this irate man is yelling and waiving about a weapon, quoting religious laws that they're breaking and basically shaming anyone who let them do business there.

Just another person misconstruing something from the past and trying to make it work for today's issues. This wasn't about men dressing as women. This was about style. Color. Pizazz. Things which were discourage in the fashion at the time. The author wasn't being sarcastic or facetious, or hinting at something. They meant exactly what they said. This is exactly why the 20's was full of riotous clothing. Sure there were alot of other reasons but "rebelling" against the normal fashion is something every generation does.

Here it is again but you can actually see it: https://i.imgur.com/W7HauVj.gifv

Isn't that a Schwartz crystal animal? They have a whole bunch including insects. Saw one of their spiders in either Vienna or Paris can't remember which.

goals. Ah yes, parenting goals.

That's just a Ball-Chinian mask. Someone hasn't watch Men in Black 2.

Isn't that also his girl in the back?

And what is a Justice Volunteer?

Wow. You know he had to practice that. I wonder how many times he's done that?

The eye patch was worn to enable them to go below deck and still be able to see. They would switch it between eyes as they moved above and below. I'm sure some of them lost an eye but that wasn't what the eye patch was used for typically.

I knew some people like this in college. They had never seen leaves change color in the fall. Never seen snow. Of course being a Floridian I don't consider Hurricanes as much more than an inconvenience and people lose their minds over them.

There were three Elephant structures built by the guy who designed this and the first one is still standing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephantine_Colossus

Had a guy I went to basic with that was '6"8. The only question I ever asked him regarding his height was, how are his knees? The stress put on joints when you're that big is tremendous. Turns out I was just predicting the future. He needed to get knee surgery in order to stay in the Army.
