There is a legend that the water from the Azreti-Ayup-Paygambar (the Prophet Job) spa cured lepers. According to the legend there was a grave, a mosque and the khan's palace near the spa.

The choir-master, according to Goldsmith, was an expert in Latin and helped him come up with phrases; instead of saying "Hail Mary", they decided on "Hail Satan", and so on.

The cars had no seat belts; the drivers reasoned that it was preferable to be thrown clear in a collision rather than be crushed or trapped in a burning car.

I guess it may also have made more sense in a car whose bodywork is made of flammable magnesium alloy???

quote:

The fuel fire raised the temperature of the remaining Elektron bodywork past its ignition temperature, which was lower than that of other metal alloys due to its high magnesium content. The alloy burst into white-hot flames, showering the track and crowd with magnesium embers, made worse by rescue workers unfamiliar with magnesium fires who poured water onto the inferno, greatly intensifying the fire.[14][9] As a result, the car burned for several hours.

i doubt it was ever objectively safer to be thrown free of the car, but back before crumple zones and safety cells and side intrusion beams there were a lot more instances of people being turned into spam as the car imploded around them so it's understandable that people thought "gently caress, i'll take the risk of going out the window"

James Watt employed a whitesmith in the 1760s when working on his experimental steam engine. The first cylinder was made by this whitesmith using hammered iron and solder. Although this technique proved insufficient, when this whitesmith died soon after Watt wrote to John Roebuck greatly lamenting the loss of his "white iron man".[8]

I just realized the Malibu driver dummy's head is covered in red and blue paint. So when the airbag goes off, you can see exactly where the dummy's head impacted. That's neat.

(I guess the Bel Air driver dummy's head might be painted too but that's kind of academic.)

Like other aspects of culture, food presentation is subject to trends and fads. For instance, "unicorn food", a style of presentation that uses a rainbow color palette to decorate food, became popular in 2017.[16][17][18] The pastel-like hues are supposed to represent the colors of the mythical unicorn.[17]

The Catholic Church, however, has never explicitly objected to the Moose, despite having condemned similar organizations, such as the Freemasons for their oaths and other rituals. Papal Encyclicals, specifically Paragraph 9 of Pope Leo XIII’s 1884 encyclical: Humanum Genus, condemn any and all Freemasonic organizations and sects and bans the laity from becoming members.

Initially, Cocaine was a personal project for Sibiryov. However, this changed when Yandex discovered an internal need for a scalable platform that could cope with millions of requests-per-second (RPS). Cocaine served these purposes. Now, Cocaine is used in the Yandex infrastructure.

The CPRM / CPPM specification was designed to meet the requirements of corporations that claim to own the intangible creations of the human intellect while balancing the implementation requirements of manufacturers. To accomplish these requirements, the system defined by the specification relies on public-key cryptography's key management for interchangeable media, content encryption, and "media-based renewability."

Cultural impact

Barack Obama directly referred to the routine while campaigning to be elected president during a Father's Day speech on June 15, 2008, saying: "Chris Rock had a routine. He said some—too many of our men, they're proud, they brag about doing things they're supposed to do. They say 'Well, I—I'm not in jail.' Well, you're not supposed to be in jail!"[3]

In the second episode of the first season of NBC's The Office, "Diversity Day", main character Michael Scott performs a version; resulting in a day-long racial sensitivity seminar for the office staff.[citation needed]
