Haifisch posted:1979 comics Ambiguous ashtrays aside, a chain smoker not lighting up with a social drink because they know the gas would be on is a legitimate clue. It could've been a good plot point in Columbo since it adheres to the whole "when someone who usually does a thing doesn't, there's a reason" philosophy.

Yeah, as far as these puzzles go it's a good clue. The delivery to the reader feels a little off, but there's only so much you can do with the comic medium and not making it blatant. Columbo for example can cheat because whodunnit is never the puzzle there, so you can point out a clue like that as part of their "perfect plan" breaking down.

EasyEW posted:Funky Winkerbean I always kind of figured that at AA meetings you'd be expected to talk about, you know, addiction and stuff. Telling your own history with alcohol abuse, relating your own victories and failures, that sort of thing. But nope, I guess it's just free time to tell long, uninteresting stories about grocery shopping to a captive audience.

Vater und Sohn: In the Finnish sauna We're firmly in "misc episodes" now where the collection I have doesn't give much detail on when or in what context they were first published. Apparently this one was originally unearthed in a book edition from 1982.  e: that's 70°C in case you were wondering, around 150°F.

My Lovely Horse posted:Vater und Sohn: In the Finnish sauna As a Finn I have to question a Finnish sauna that's only 70 degrees, but everything else here checks out. A traditional vihta is made from silver birch branches and tied together with a piece of soft bark. I don't know how physiologically sound the belief is, but it's thought that lightly (or less lightly) smacking yourself with one in the sauna promotes better blood circulation and is good for you. In any case it smells REALLY GOOD and is fun to do.  Of course these days having a sauna by the lakeside is a luxury that's most often found at summer cabins (for those that have them), but going straight from a hot sauna to a cool lake is heavenly.

Haifisch posted:Elsewhere: Why doesn't America use metric? Well, we tried. Once. Sort of. (shockingly, signing an act where conversion to metric was voluntary didn't work that well) I was in fourth grade when we had to learn metric because it was what everyone was going to be using in the future. Instead, as the old joke goes, the only parts of the metric system America adopted were the two-liter soda bottle and the 9mm handgun. But at least metric is slightly more useful than learning to write cursive. You will not be surprised to hear that in some parts of the country, they put up road signs with metric distances on them, and the local people shot the signs.
