Pity that humans don't clean up after themselves. Then again, people that don't clean up after themselves are not human.

It's thought that this may also explain some peoples' apparent visions and conversations with gods and saints.

We need more of this kind of project and attitude 🙂

I'm really sad they stopped the Concorde flies (is that the right word for it?). Now of they would also cost as much a a normal plane ride I'd love to go

And here I thought that Moses' burning bush was Cannabis sativa. Live and learn.

I've been wondering for years now why there isn't a single movie about this. I'm not talking documentaries (those DO exist), but the obvious dystopian quest, where a group of adventurers need to find the vault (encountering mutated monsters/battling bands of renegades, who want to make a profit and sell to the highest bidder?) to rebuild civilization, D&D style. Even if the precise location was a secret, the setting could be anywhere from Mars or Antarctica to Avernus, an Ice Age, a hypothetical desert future after some catastrophe/climate collapse/... The idea itself is a definite movie just waiting to be realised.

It's a suburb of Augsburg. To live there you need to be a citizen of Augsburg obviously, be Catholic and on welfare.

And also building usually cannot higher then local Hindu monastery. There are one hotel owned by Tommy Soeharto (at the time of completion is the president) named Pi Bedugul that never open because of this problem.

Meh! Amateur! There was a civil servant in Greece who did that for over 13 years!

he was the invisible man

Looks like an ACME portable hole. Great for pranks or trapping Road Runner!

Cellulose decomposes to the sugar glucose.

It's also the oldest discovered differential gear system

Way to go!! (Sorry/not sorry)

Well...it's got that going for it, I guess.

Visited that site a couple of years ago. It truly is amazing!

Aaah, interesting! There should be trivia classes at school

How on earth do 9 healthy human babies fit in one uterus? Is it really that stretchable?

ROFL. The hazards of modern life and a whole new level of censorship on broadcasting content! 🤣

Finally. AND he should be prosecuted by law for lying in the inevitable quantity limitation clause on the application forms.

And subsequently destroyed the Australian environment.

After that he appeared again on Shark Tank…as a shark.

I don't think it's necessarily frugal to fly to a developing country for a haircut? Am I missing something?

I didn't know you could make tires glow and I'm honestly surprised that it isn't popular with car aficionados who like to bling out their rides. Very neat and also probably very very expensive

From india.com: "However, according to studies, the don of the jungle – the tiger – is more likely to win against a lion. Scientists say that in a fight between a Bengal tiger and an African lion, there is a 90 per cent chance that the tiger will win. A tiger is slightly faster than a lion, arguably more ferocious, and more agile."

I'd sleep even before the movie starts.

For rent to shoot at the price of another lambo per minute

They gave him a pizza party.

I knew about the medical value of pre-war steel, but not that that there's now an alternative. Does anyone know what it is, please?

I'm by no means an expert, but shouldn't snow cruiser tires have especially deep profiles, much like tractors? Even in 1940 I would have taken that for a no-brainer.
