There’s a national park that surrounds the city where I live and the city itself has a pretty good local parks service, so dead golf courses go to heaven around here :unsmith:

Almost anything is an improvement over 'golf course'.

Neglect it, apartments, public park, nuclear waste storage. All improvments.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Nope, this is purely Midwest USA. One has been undergoing soil cleanup of decades of herbicides and mercury contamination, and will be going through further remediation soon to return the land to its natural state. There is a lot of wetland in the area so that may be part of the plan, though I don’t know for sure. In any case, you love to see it.

speaking of elves

The minimum size of an Olympic swimming pool is 50mx25mx2m deep (depth is minimum 2m, other dimensions are fixed). That's 660,430 gallons.

Santa canonically drinks from a glass of milk in each household he visits when it is left out for him; that's probably an average of at least 2 fl oz per glass, or 64 households/gallon, or at most 42 million milk-houses per swimming pool.

There are about 24m children 5 and under in the US this year. Two-or-more child households, lactose intolerance, and that only 75% of US households have a Christmas tree (presumably, those without a tree don't propriate Santa) cut the number of milk offerings down a bit, but if we assume 2.1 million households do this (slightly less than 1 in 10) then the US contribution to the Calculated Pool Index of Santa Swallowing is probably at least 0.05 pools/year, so Santa goes through a minimum of 5 pools/century.

It takes between 20-30 minutes for water to go from mouth to bladder, and Santa's schedule is very tight - he's not going to be able to stop for a break. Fortunately, we have documentation that Santa has a method for storing things that would otherwise be impossible to transport, so we can confidently conclude that Santa's pee is stored in his sacks.

What was her rant like? Would you describe it as a nonsense verse or composition; a rigmarole with apparent meaning which proves to be meaningless?

I took it to mean the teacher screeched and pulled off her mask and was a pterodactyl underneath who then eviscerated the poster while the rest of the class ran out shrieking

Milk isn't water, it's food. It curdles and turns into like cottage cheese in your stomach. Big guy has more than peeing to worry about.

Nah it was decided not to teach the later half, more highly scrabble high scoring letters, to the kids today after they started beating the adults at the game.
