Alberta's mace was made of garbage, once.

in 1906, Premier Alexander Rutherford’s government neglected to arrange for a Mace. One was hastily ordered and created in only a few weeks by Rufus E. Butterworth in the lead up to the first session of the Assembly. Alberta’s first Mace was made entirely from scrap, featuring a plumbing pipe for the shaft, a toilet tank float for the orb, ornamental decorations made from old shaving mug handles, bits of an old bedstead and other scraps of wood, a piece of red velvet and a coat of gold paint.

Was Luxembourg an Allies or an Axis?

Coz I enjoyed the week I spent there about 15 years ago on my backpacking holiday. Also, I half remember a story I heard that apparently all Luxembourgois citizens get to have tea and biscuits with the King on their 14th birthday. Although I could be confusing that with the plot to Goodbye, Mr. Chips.

I believe this to be the final word on the matter.

Immediately change your character's gender [Inbox]

I have been a loyal follower of your page for almost a year, and have been under the impression that your character, specifically the rabbit, was a female. However, recent revelations have forced me to come into the open and make this account to commune with you. Witness my account, upon seeing the gifts you have purchased for your boyfriend (an imperial pox on ones self for not reading context, like with Mandy!) I realised that you were a homophile, which would in turn mean that your rabbit character is a male.

I am incredibly displeased at this fact. Firstmost, Vore is generally known as a female-exclusive power. Female predators make up a large amount of all predator characters, thus my asumption. Secondly, I have spent a grand time using your images for the sake of oneristic practises, and I am feeling EXTRAORDINARY shame for having practised onerism not only to someone of my male gender, but also to the art of a homophile.

Thirdmost, your character and yourself is known in my view now, as an outlier, something strange that must be corrected with imperative.

Therefore I am commanding you to change the gender of your character to female. I realise this command is one that you, as a homophile, with limited reasoning skills, may not understand. Therefore, I shall present my reasons as to why you should do this.

First, it shall put one of your most loyal watchers' fears, doubts and turning-night-terrors to absolute rest.

Secondly, your works would get significantly more views, as the audience for homophile, and male predators is exceedingly dim-and-tiny.

Thirdly, it would help to establish vore as a female-exclusive power to your watchers, many of whom I now suspect to be nothing more than homophile, communist infiltrators. This would turn tides not only in the fandom, but in the world, as more people turn to the right side. The right side.

Consider my petition wisely, lagomorph. I have an exceedingly sharp wit, and if you do not take this request lightly, then shall be forced to debate you on this matter.

And believe me, you do NOT want to debate me. I am unparalled in intellect, reasoning and wit, and have not been mind-changed on a point once, either by my kin or by people of the communist side.

Tick-Tock.

I heard somewhere that most people assume they're above average in intelligence, but I do love seeing very stupid people attempt to talk "smart" because they think being excessively verbose makes them sound eloquent and proves how smart they are.
