I have family that lives in Sandwich. Grew up a couple towns over. It never once occurred to me there was anything odd about the town's name until I went to college in a different state and my friends laughed at me. Mind was blown that day.

I grew up next to King of Prussia,PA and never realized it was odd until the same thing happened to me.

After reading the article it seems that gun is just a placeholder image, but the article should really be "Teen commits suicide". According to the article, he pulled the trigger multiple times, no matter how much of an idiot you may be, you don't do that if you're not trying to kill yourself. It's a shame.

I'm pretty sure even aliens would consider this reality too unbelievable

In the Matrix when Agent Smith is talking to Morpheus, he tells him the original Matrix was a paradise for people but our minds rejected it. I feel like this might be what the rejection started to look like, when reality just starts to go to complete poo poo.

Wait, is that supposed to be a normal size dude eating a baby? I always assumed it was a giant eating an adult human. It's hard to tell for sure without the head, but those look like adult limbs not baby limbs. I suppose it could be an especially skinny baby, but then why is the butt so big?

It is Saturn (Cronos) devouring his son (probably either Hades or Poseidon) by Goya

The irony is, for 20-30% more you can contract a reputable design-build firm, and have them build you an entirely custom, beautiful house that is inspected for quality building at each step. My buddy down in CA works for a firm that does this, they specialize in sustainably sourced building materials, and eco friendly construction (solar, great insulation values etc) but it's way harder to get this done, since you have to organize a temporary place to live, construction loans etc.

The tough part about this (in my area at least) is that there isn't much land for sale anymore, and where there is land, it's either way too far from where I work or prohibitively expensive.

I agree with your reasoning, but hearing the actual 2 recordings I would have found in favor of Zeppelin too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deVNnnuf24w&t=14s

The note progression is obviously the same, that's undeniable, but Page's focus is on the higher flourishes, coming back to the main notes, whereas the original is the main notes with very minimal flourishes.

Basically my argument would be to sing the guitar parts. You'd end up singing something closer to a bass line for Taurus and Zeppelin's would be the part that everyone instantly recognizes, oddly enough not singing the parts that were said to be ripped off from Taurus.

Not really, those songs share a similar element but have completely different chord progressions and "vibes," Led Zeppelin toured with Spirit and then ripped off the chord progression entirely and added "flourishes" as you noted. Also worth noting that Led Zeppelin did that poo poo all the time and took sole writing credit for both traditional songs and songs that were literally just someone else's.

You can't copyright a chord progression though, or Pachelbel should be rolling in it right now.

Is a church considered a public area?

They were arrested for "having sex within public view" even though they were inside the church, because someone called the cops because they got nosy and looked inside the church because the lights were on after hours.

The pastor should be fired, sure, but arrested for getting weird with it? That's bullshit.

We regret to inform you that the boxer is homophobic.

quote:

Homosexuality comments
In February 2016, Pacquiao, in a video statement posted by TV5, made a comment on the issue of same-sex marriage. Pacquiao, in vernacular, described people in same-sex marriages as behaving worse than animals because, he said, animals generally do not have same-sex mating.[118] LGBT celebrities criticized the statements of the senatorial candidate. Pacquiao later apologized and stated that while, as a Christian, he is still against same-sex marriage, which he said is against Biblical teachings, he did not condemn gay people themselves.[119] Nike ended their longtime partnership with Pacquiao, stating his comments against gay people were abhorrent.[120] The Grove at Farmers Market in Los Angeles also banned Pacquiao from the shopping mall.[121]

Towards the end of the video, Pacquiao clarified that he is not condemning gay people.

...but I am not condemning them, just the marriage which is a sin against God.

— Continuation of Manny Pacquiao's stand on same-sex marriage in a video statement by TV5 posted later on February 19, 2016.[122]

Wait, Americans don't have a water reservoir in their tree holders?

Lmao.

The ones I've seen do, but if you don't stay on top of it, the tree can easily drink up to the point where the water level is too low to get to the tree.
I usually end up watering mine a ton for the first couple of days, then I just need to top it off every 2 or 3 days until the end of the year.

Went to a very nice restaurant last year for our anniversary. After dessert, pre-dinner cocktails and a shared bottle of wine, I did attempt to eat the napkin that was placed in something like the above.

I had the exact opposite happen to me.
I took a trip to Italy and they brought out what looked like white bath towels on silver trays and put them on the table. Then I realized each towel was actually about 20 lbs of fresh Mozzarella cheese and proceeded to have one of the most amazing meals of my life.
