How do the british end up looking even more inbred than icelanders when the latter has a much smaller gene pool?

Because they use genealogy apps when they meet people, to stop them from dating a second cousin or whatever, but in the case of people like Michael Gove, his ancestors would definitely have done the opposite and purposely inbred to keep the bloodline pure.

Looks like it�s supposed to bolt onto the gearshift maybe? No idea how that�s supposed to make driving easier.

Yeah

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodie_knob

quote:

The free rotation is intended to help make steering with one hand easier or faster. Brodie knobs were popular on trucks and tractors before the advent of power steering.

The device is often called a "suicide knob" because of being notoriously useless for controlling the wheel during an emergency. It is also called a "knuckle buster" because of the disadvantage posed by the knob when letting go of the steering wheel after going around a corner, the wheel spins rapidly and the knob can hit the user's knuckle, forearm, or elbow. If the driver is wearing a long-sleeved shirt, the protruding accessory on the rim of the steering wheel can also become caught in the sleeve's open cut by the button. Other names include "granny knob" "necker's knob" and "wheel spinner."

I thought they were called suicide knobs because having one on then getting in an accident is suicide, because it�ll get driven in to your chest. I guess that was pre airbags.

I have only ever heard of them called Suicide Knobs for that reason. I just learned the term Brodie Knob just now, in this thread. Most states in the US ban them due to the many safety issues that come with them.

New Market Day Ceremony Overview

The New Market Day ceremony is an annual observance held at VMI in front of the monument "Virginia Mourning Her Dead", a memorial to the New Market Corps. The names of all of the cadets in the Corps of 1864 are inscribed on the monument, and six of the ten cadets who died are buried at this site. The ceremony features the roll call of the names of the cadets who lost their lives at New Market, a custom that began in 1887. The name of each cadet who died is called, and a representative from the same company in today's Corps answers, "Died on the Field of Honor, Sir."

Oh poo poo, Nazi Germany literally had a similar ritual for a group of members that died in a riot they started before the party rose to power.
