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

A bit like some of the early dictionaries. Horse: def. everyone knows what a horse is.

Interestingly there have been tests done on alcohol tolerance. At a certain point your body continues to accrue tolerance regardless of whether or not you drink. Granted, it is almost exclusively an alcoholic trait but it does happen. Now what you can do is quit drinking, get in shape and lose weight and try again. Loss of body mass will make a difference.

And are there jars of peaches in it?

Only if you get caught.

Right, so in most of the stuff I've been reading lately a DM is short for Dungeon Master. Applying that definition makes this really weird. I was very confused before I remember DM can stand for something else.

Well the original genie that we get the story of Aladdin from didn't even have a wish number limit. It just wasn't as powerful as other genies and so could only grant wishes within it's power. It could still grant alot just not everything.
