That's actually the point, you see. If you fall over and die, you have no need for money anymore. Fall over and live, you're gonna get that dollar. Maybe. It's a gamble.
I'd be so depressed thinking that my final moments were spent eating snails. What a way to go. Kinda embarrassing if they interview you on the other side to keep a log for insurance purposes.
I was kinda thinking of paramedics asking you what happened... Hell, there may be a short in here somewhere.
That he is! I came across this tidbit via another conversation where someone was trying to tell me that doggos and humans must be closely related due to our unusual ability to communicate with one another. Other than also being placental mammals, we are not closely related to doggos. Doggos run with bears, kitties, trash pandas, and the weasel clan (carnivora).
Reminds me of Horrible Histories, a sketch show on CBBC based on non-fiction books. There was a recurring sketch called "Stupid Deaths" where historical figures would tell Death how they died before going through into the afterlife. The only two I remember off the top of my head were an eighteenth century woman who died from using too much lead make-up and a Medieval general who got a pike up his arse as invaders chose a really inopportune moment to enter the castle through the sewers. I'll see if I can find any on YouTube.
Now I've got the song stuck in my head. Stupid deaths, oh stupid deaths, They're funny 'cause they're true. Stupid deaths, oh stupid deaths, Hope next time it's not you!
I mean, depending on which historians you believe— it being debated whether she had lasting smallpox scars and whether she wore makeup— Elizabeth I's death may have been partially due to lead poisoning in a similar way. It's noteworthy that her longtime advisor William Cecil died significantly older at 77 while she died at 69 despite her relatively good health, lead poisoning would make her decline make sense. But who knows?
Haven`t heard that song in forever man that`s a trip. Do you`r own electrical work though...that`s exactly what the guy who had my house before us did. I swear to god this shit will end up killing us one day, none it works and all the plugs spark.
In Benjamin Franklin's will, he forgave a loan he had made to his son-in-law Richard Bache, with the condition that said relative was to free a certain slave in return.
Rubies and Sapphires are the same stone, Corundum. Aquamarine, Emerald, and Morganite are all varieties of Beryl.
Beryl? Three precious stones, all with exotic, enchanting names, are all varieties of something that shares its name with a sixty-year-old receptionist with glasses and a flowery cardigan who calls you "darling" and looks judgingly at your blue hair?
Some band called Muna has asked Finns not to tell what the name of that band means in Finnish. https://www.facebook.com/whereismuna/ It means... ...but also... (Not gonna tell.)
