Not me, but my coworker just found out (while talking about New Orleans and football) that the symbol the Saints use called a "fleur-de-lis", not a "Florida Leaf". e: If you google image search "florida leaf" you get fleur-de-lis as the first result, so I guess he's not the only one. fullroundaction has a new favorite as of 18:54 on Aug 18, 2017 |

The guy I saw in traffic yesterday with "SAINTS" and a fleur-de-lis on his rear window was probably a fan of the football team and not the video game street gang.

Honestly the only bad driving states if you're doing it for pleasure is Connecticut bc that poo poo is a forever-traffic-jam. And really that's NYC's fault.

purple death ray posted:At a certain point goons blinding hatred towards kids TV shows is more disturbing than goons that watch and enjoy kids TV shows and that point is pretty much immediately CS Lewis posted:Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

This was the guy whose heroine didn't get to heaven like his other protagonists, because: quote:"The books don't tell us what happened to Susan. She is left alive in this world at the end, having by then turned into a rather silly, conceited young woman. But there's plenty of time for her to mend and perhaps she will get to Aslan's country in the end... in her own way." quote:“My sister Susan,” answered Peter shortly and gravely, “is no longer a friend of Narnia.” Because she became interested in fashion and sex, she doesn't get to go. I like CS Lewis's works as much as the next person, but I don't think he's the right person to speak about young women. I do find it strange for him to be such a proponent of childish things being good and fine for adults, when he wrote that because a girl grew up a little, she can't possibly go to his version of heaven. Young things want to grow, indeed.

I like Tolkien's writing on fantasy and "kid's" work a lot more. I think Narnia is a lot more explicitly "for kids", than even the Hobbit, let alone anything else Tolkien ever did, but he talks about how he's trying to recapture a sense of escapism and wonder in an adult mind, about how as a kid you'd look across the hills and dream of what was on the other side, and the real world grows more banal as you learn and grow. He argues that escapism is no bad thing for a story to be and it's plenty good to fantasize and dream as long as you don't neglect the responsibilities that you've since gained. It's kinda how he lived his life too, most of Middle Earth was written either in the trenches or in short spurts between academic papers and semesters of teaching.

Arretium is Arezzo and Arminum is Rimini!!! Tuscany is the land of the Etruscans!!! My brain understands that Italy is in the same location as the Roman Republic and its capital is Rome and it's been continually inhabited, but somehow the fact that the very same places and peoples have been there just doesn't compute.

That's not the same, I'm aware that names change and there are different languages. Like you realize that the name Nieuw Amsterdam did not linguistically evolve into New York, it was renamed? I just didn't realize until having it spelled out that a few big italian cities that I know as modern cities, and a few big roman cities that I know as ancient cities, were the exact same cities. There's others that grew/shrunk into or out of obscurity, and obviously ones like Rome, Naples, and Syracuse that are obvious. But I am not linguistically skilled enough and don't stare at enough maps of Italy to connect some. Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 04:33 on Aug 19, 2017 |

So last night apparently my mom and brother-in-law were making fun of my sister for referring to insects as "animals." Admittedly it's odd to say in a casual setting but it turns out they literally didn't know insects are animals. My dad had to Google it to prove my sister correct. This is driving me insane because it's the kind of thing you should know by kindergarten.

I think it depends how you're taught. I was pretty sure "living things" was divided into "plants, animals and insects" for a long time.
