Love this one, for those who are unaware

quote:

Family Guy creator Seth was also due to catch the same flight as Wahlberg but arrived late due to a hangover and a mix-up with his booking.

His travel agent incorrectly told him the 7.45am flight was due to leave at 8.15am, but when he arrived, boarding was already closed.

“I was booked on that flight and I was drinking the night before and hung over and I missed the plane by about 10 minutes. It was a very close call for me," he said.

He was forced to wait for the next flight and an hour later, Flight 11 struck the north tower, killing everyone on board.

Wow you must've gone to a really bad uni to be so wrong about this and still have graduated. The fact that Ö sounds vary in no way means that "the vowel sound in RP bird" isn't literally the best and simplest way to let Anglophones know what Ö sounds like. And "a specific dialect of English" is exactly what you want to give people whose native accents can vary vastly a reference point they will, in about 100% of cases, be familiar with - it's called RP and it's the specific dialect you can use in this manner.

If someone doesn't know what an automobile is, I can point a normal one out to them and they will know - superficially but well enough - what an automobile is without me needing to point out every kind of automobile there is.

Sorry about continuing this poo poo, but this is just not true. Take a look at these pictures:




First is RP, second is Swedish. Notice how there is an ø (and œ) in the Swedish one but not in the RP one? That's because the sound doesn't appear in RP.

Also, knowledge of RP is not as widespread as you think. It's a British thing that still has some residual influence in teaching English as a second language, but a lot of learners either forget about it and lump it into the general British English category or plain never hear about it.

I did some research this evening and discovered that this is probably the first time anyone has proposed the scientific theory that piss is in fact stored in the balls.

Now as we all know in this modern day and age this is absolutely true. I just found it to be an interesting fact.
Obviously there will be the occasional crackpot conspiracy nut who claims otherwise, but time and time again they have failed to provide even a smidgen of evidence to their claims. Bloody charlatans!

Bonus points if you did this for long enough for your friend that was winning to have to leave your home so you can actually get carded, pick up his controller and score some own goals to actually win the match.

I did this for 40 minutes, we were both laughing but he had to leave and I won :smug:

I like how Michael Bay had the most accurate look for the impact in Armageddon back in 1998 when it was still a fresh new theory just by going full Michael Bay and burning the whole goddamn planet.
