Unfortunately, depending on where you live, you most likely wouldn't be able to have your skull removed, cleaned and sent home. If you donate your body to a university or science group they can do whatever with it but private individuals or family members cannot.

This is actually a common and well known phenomenon when it comes to stuttering. Doesn't make it any less cool or helpful but it's something any speech therapist knows. It's not a cure and we don't really know why it works but it does in most cases. Affecting an accent is has also been found to reduce stuttering.

Reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuTkgi7scKo

I find it funny when they show the script and you know the language cause they just used a modern one and it says something like "Stop, no entry. Leave this area." and they translate it as a death curse will be placed on any who enter.

Every time I see this it cause me to eye roll. Yes, the metric system does make things easier but, imagine just for a second what it would cost to convert every official document, sign, and book just to make things a little easier. The US is a big country the sheer scope of what it would take to make that change is mind boggling.

This is still commonly practiced in many parts of the world.

Executions were, and some still are, forms of public entertainment in most of the world. It's really only in the last hundred years or so that it's fallen out of favor to perform them in public. This is also what some people ascribe too with it's failure to become a deterrent to crimes in that same time period.

Then there's the two lions that the movie The Ghost in the Darkness portrayed. It was based on the book The Man-Eaters of Tsavo which was based on the protagonist's account of what actually happened. The two lions in that case killed and ate over 130 people before they were killed.

How about anyone is a service industry? Most of those are open 6-7 days a week.

I have thousands of books on my Kindle and it's really handy to use. However, I also have three bookshelves stuffed with books because sometimes you just need to turn pages.

Of course the Silmarillion takes place in an earlier age. Supposedly they calmed down by the time the age of men occurred.

So the first time I played Dishonored I killed every guard and bad guy. Made playing the second half way harder. The second time I only killed if I absolutely had too and it made the second half way easier. Games that adjust themselves based on how you play are the best.

Well since he created the dwarvish and elvish language he used when he was in the 8th grade I'd given him the benefit of the doubt.

The King is dead. Long live the King.

See they got the phrase wrong it's "you have to respect that other people can have opinions". One means everyone is equally valid and is just stupid and contradictory. The other means I can ignore you or call you stupid because you're an idiot.

I remember looking at all the cool books that I was never going to be able to read because we had no money buy them.

I can't say for sure but aren't those Alligators not Crocodiles?

How does a plunger help if it's already hit the fan. Think a spatula of some sort would work better.

We would have cultural days. The teachers would bring food and with the help of the students cook it. That way we'd get cultural specific food, have fun, and have a fun day off from cramming Arabic into our heads.

There's a few signs like this on military bases. You're allowed alcohol if you're of age and they sell it at the Px, bowling alleys, commissaries, and the Class 6 but some areas can be off limits to it. Usually special training areas and their barracks, if they have one.

I don't listen to rap but I'd still pick Eminem.

Interesting story. Good warning and as far as know scientifically accurate. However it's obviously not a real story, or it's been added too to make more sense. Certain things like how many seizures she had, while unconscious and without witnesses, would be impossible to know but it does help make a good story.
