revmoo posted:lmao what a continent full of weaklings. They sell those things to 12 year olds at flea markets here. they are in the same class as guns when you try to sneak them in (weapons smuggling) so they treat it the same. you arent allowed any sort of fold away blade that can be flipped or sprung open without a permit. you can have a knife, as long as you have to manually pull it out. pretty sure you have to have a reason to have it too but its not strict, like how you need to have a reason if you want any guns at all but "recreational use" with no other explanation is enough. its a ban on weapons with allowances for the fact knives are actually incredibly useful for a lot of things whereas something like guns, their only practical use is killing stuff. you can disagree with it but you have to admit it's actually a well written law that does exactly what it's supposed to i kinda wanted a balisong just to fiddle with but it's not worth going to jail and those comb things are lame as heck. if i went overseas id probably buy one and pull it apart and bring it back in pieces in several bags but idk. dad told me he used to know a guy who did that with an uzi, except on boats instead of planes, who got found shooting it and got absolutely reamed.

The wiki page making comparisons between Amundsen and Scott makes Scott's plans look like some serious amateur hour hijinks. It's almost like that Mitchell and Webb skit where the 2 explorers are starving in a tent, and one keeps asking to eat holiday foods, like an autumn squash or a Christmas pudding and the other rebukes him because its not the correct time of the year to eat them and by god they're Englishman and they respect tradition. Now that I think about it, the Scott expedition might've been the inspiration for the skit.

IIRC you can have a straight blade longer than that in public, but you need a reason for carrying it. You can't have a massive gently caress off bowie knife strapped to your leg and be walking around at the shops because you think it makes you look like a rad oval office. Not in Straya, anyway. I've got mates in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) who have been hassled by the law for being in public with their trainer swords, which have massive rubber stoppers on the end and are completely blunt anyway.

The French national rugby team were supposedly on amphetamines for a game where the captain of the All Blacks got his scrotum ripped open. They stapled it back together and he kept playing. "Roughly 20 minutes into the match, he was caught at the bottom of a rather aggressive ruck, and an errant French boot found its way into Shelford's groin, somehow ripping his scrotum and leaving one testicle hanging free. He also lost four teeth in the process. Incredibly, after discovering the injury to his scrotum, he calmly asked the physio to stitch up the tear and returned to the field before a blow to his head left him concussed. He was substituted and watched the remainder of the game from the grandstand where he witnessed the All Blacks lose 16–3. To this day Shelford has no memory of the game."

Syncopated posted:Not sure about colic but the cocaine and opium treatments are legit. Cocaine is still used as a topical anaesthetic in ear surgery and opiates will back you up pretty good. Cocaine, I believe, is also still used as a topical anesthetic for nose injuries, including the setting of broken noses. I knew a dental assistant years ago who told me cocaine was also used in her practice when a patient had an acute allergy to novocaine, Edit: just looked it up and cocaine and novocaine aren't as closely related chemically as I thought, so this might be true.
