When baking, if you're running low on eggs, human blood can be used as a substitute at approximately ¼ cup blood per large egg missing.
Well, you can lose up 15-30% of your blood without too many serious side effects, and since the average human has around 5 litres of blood, that means that you could tap around 3-6½ cups (12-26 eggs worth) of blood without dying. Or roughly 2-6 souffles depending on size and recipe.
I see. Well that isn't too bad I suppose. It will take considerably more to make a sword though. https://www.tor.com/2017/07/20/sword-forged-from-the-blood-of-your-enemies/
Oreo cookies are also a knock off product, that simply grew much more successful. Hydrox were the inspiration. .....taste difference aside doesn`t help that Hydrox sounds more like a laundry soap than a cookie.
In a town of 24k? (Googling) Okay, highest percentage. That makes more sense. You can find 24k Greeks in a few blocks in NYC.
I suppose this would only work if you neglect to mention that you're serving a blood soufflé, or have someone willing to knowingly eat one.
"Eat! I've spent all day slaving over a hot stove. Do you know how much blood, sweat, and tears I put into this meal? Well, do you?!?!"
Another -two- WWI Fact(s) - 1 - The average lifespan of a pilot during WWI was 16 days. 2 - You see this plane made of material you can tear with your bare hands? It could hold 8+ men, had a bathroom, and a bedroom. It is a Russian Ilya Muromets Bomber.
Up to 10 hours according to owlcation.com (https://owlcation.com/humanities/About-World-War-1-1914-Worlds-First-Heavy-Bomber) What I didn't know is it was also the first commercial airline! I'll pretend I did know, and use it as another useless fact
There wasn't much choice in the grand scheme of things. It was 'beat them by any means necessary', and when people started realizing you could machine guns on airplanes, they weren't going to wait to train them right, or adequately.
That would be a lot of fat on the head. Even then, it will be more towards the lower part of the head, so at best you could hope to protect your neck, and possibly the base of your skull. More like stomach, liver, pancreas, kidneys, and intestines.
Urban Legend tells of a Great Bundy of a man accosted at gunpoint. The demand for his wallet was met with, "go fuck yourself", at which point he was shot twice. He pulled out his knife and stabbed the perpetrator to death. He sauntered into the hospital the next day, at which point the intake attendant said, "Again?".
The Lord of the Rings was heavily influenced by Tolkien's experiences during WWI, and his son's during WWII. One of the rings was metaphorically associated with the concept of the 'Nuclear Bomb'.
"I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence. I much prefer history – true or feigned– with its varied applicability to the thought and experience of readers. I think that many confuse applicability with allegory, but the one resides in the freedom of the reader, and the other in the purposed domination of the author." -- J.R.R. Tolkien.
I said 'associated' because it was heavily speculated. Allegories and metaphorical themes of all sorts are present in his writing, ranging from elements of 'Brotherhood and friendship' to the 'Impact of war'. I should have specified that particular detail was indeed speculative, but, still worth adding. "I dislike Allegory - the conscious and intentional allegory - yet any attempt to explain the purport of myth or fairytale must use allegorical language." -- J.R.R Tolkien
