Quote from: Paul Calf on June 24, 2022, 09:06:14 AMMost saloon (US:sedan) cars don't have one. When I switched from a hatchback to a saloon I spent an inordinate amount of time looking for the rear wiper.

Same in Canada, I ended looking at the manual (can you imagine!) to prove that there wasn't one.

A common male fertility test is to take a common domestic chicken and fuck it.

First time I drove an automatic was a rental and accidentally selected 1st instead of drive and didn't realise until it was screaming down the road at whatever the metric version of 30mph is.

LL in LL Cool J is short for "Ladies Love", J is short for "James", and Cool isn't short for anything, so his full name is Ladies Love Cool James.

Mama said "mate".

It's shit but I can forgive it because Mama Said is such a good record.

That thing on Buzz Lightyear's chin in Toy Story isn't supposed to be a single, curled, pube-like hair. It's supposed to be a chin dimple.

See that's a bit of a misconception - it was always supposed to be a pube but the lucas-based CAPS system was useless at rendering wispy hairs and they didn't want to buy a whole rendering farm so cheaped out a bit and just passed that bit off to an SGI Indigo².

Kevin Pressman was a super fast runner and a 100m record holder as a teenager. And he also wanted to be a policeman or a footballer when he grew up. The pig jokes kind of write themselves.

Sauce: a teenage England team profile on Twitter. Michael Thomas of Arsenal fame and Gavin Peacock were also there, though Peacock hadn't found Jesus yet. One player had stamp collecting as his hobby.

It's 14 in Germany. It used to be 12 in the Netherlands, but I don't think it is any more.

Age of nonsent. We had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going directly to jail.

In America you can buy a gun at five years old, but you can't legally drink alcohol or have sex until you're 47.

So you can shoot your mother if she decides to get an abortion.

Or if she tries to control your freedom by refusing to plap you out early into the second trimester.

You can provide me life, nourishment, oxygen, and waste excretion services, but you cannot take my FREEDOM *blam into the cunt from up the cunt*

Thomas Midgely Jr is probably responsible for more deaths than any other human in history. He developed Ethyl and Freon, pumping lead into our world and putting a hole in the ozone, killing billions and creating and increasing long term health complications, violence and disability. All just for a bit of cash.

What a fucking boss.


QuoteIn 1940, at the age of 51, Midgley contracted polio, which left him severely disabled. He devised an elaborate system of ropes and pulleys to lift himself out of bed. In 1944, he became entangled in the device and died of strangulation.

Many Americans seem to assume that WWII began in December 1941 with the bombing of Pearl Harbor despite there having been two years of war in Europe and Asia, the Allies having secured control of the Channel in the air and around 20 million people having died, those overwhelmingly being Allied civilians.

I've literally just this moment fully appreciated that we the goodies started WWI by assassinating Franz Ferdinand. I am sorry to all of the Germans for having previously sort of assumed that they started both of the best wars.
