On June 3, 1958, the USS Nautilus, the world's first nuclear submarine, visited Everett and Seattle. In Seattle, crewmen dressed in civilian clothing were sent in to secretly buy 140 quarts of an automotive product containing sodium silicate (originally identified as Stop Leak) to repair a leaking condenser system. The Nautilus was en route to the North Pole on a top secret mission to cross the North Pole submerged.[18]

that's pretty cool

Quote from the movie Young Frankenstein when Elizabeth and Frederick were saying goodbye to each other at the train station: Elizabeth (Madeline Kahn): "Taffeta, darling." Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (Gene Wilder): "Taffeta, sweetheart." (Her dress was made of taffeta.)

trig tell me, what do pickled eggs taste like?

this is my imagination, based on three things that i love:
- green olives
- pickled greens
- boiled eggs

--- scene ----

"but ive never tried a pickled egg" i say, slowly and seductively and mostly drunkenly

i imagine it like a couch of egg whites for your tongue, and as you lay your tongue down you start to sense the sour tang of pickles

but then you curl up your tongue and you find that your mouth is full of eggs and olives and greens. and they're all pickled, and they're all fresh... and the pickle juice is covering my face and its only my face and theres nobody else around and im no bathing in pickleju-

i mean whatta they taste like really?

In May 2008, an advertisement screened on ITV and Channel 4 in the United Kingdom, featured in various ways a creme egg being melted while still in its wrapper (there were various versions of the commercial), only to mutate into a Twisted while yelling "Goo!" at random intervals and "spitting" out some of its goo, before repeating the word again when the advert finishes.

During the 1970s and early 1980s, fans arriving at the stadium from the Metro were greeted by an oom-pah band playing "The Happy Wanderer." Whenever an opposing pitcher tried to hold a runner at first rather than pitch, the sound system would cluck at him like a chicken.

the spanish conquistadores were lazy as gently caress about naming things

quote:

In 1806, Father Jose Maria Zalvidea, diarist for the expedition of First Lieutenant Francisco Ruiz into the San Joaquin Valley, named the canyon, creek, and pass which had been discovered in 1776 by the explorer priest, Father Francisco Garces. He recorded the name as "Tejon" (badger)—after a dead badger found at the canyon's mouth. This original Tejon Pass (later called "Old Tejon Pass"), was situated 15 miles to the northeast of what is now Tejon Pass.

hmm. we ran out of names of saints after naming literally everything in sight after one of them. out of ideas. dead badger? sounds good

Fuck the cowboys. Unf. Fuck em hard.
The effectiveness of the pens may be skewed- one way or the other. Simply having a banknote pass through laundry, depending on the soaps and bleaches used, can cause a bill to fail the test when it is otherwise OK. Additionally, it was discovered almost immediately that changing the acidity of a note, or most any other piece of paper, a napkin, typical typing paper, cardboard, et cetera, with lemon juice, will cause a false positive, that is, a place mat in a restaurant with lemon juice on it will appear to be a valid banknote.
