Let's just say that he is far more interested in his contractually provided $200 bottle of scotch every night than he is with delivering a decent performance or treating his crew like reasonable human beings.

e: He did have decent taste in scotch, though. It was usually 18 year Macallan.

I've told this story before but I had a history teacher who couldn't pronounce any number over 100,000. The first time she flubbed one a few times so I tentatively said it correctly assuming it was just one of those things that happens. Like when you erase a typo then write it again the exact same way. From then on though she'd call on me to read out any number over 100,000 for her which was a lot of pressure because I'd have to pay attention instead of play snake on my phone. When we covered World War II it was a nightmare reading about the death toll not because of the horrific human tragedy but because there were so many big numbers.

My first grade teacher actually rapped my knuckles with a yard stick for impudently insisting that she was wrong about how the letter "X" was pronounced. She was teaching that the words "fox" and "box" were pronounced "fosk" and "bosk". To her logic, if they were pronounced the way that we all normally say them, they would be spelled "focks" or "bocks" instead of with an "X". That's when I learned to just go along with whatever and keep my mouth shut. It was also a grade school in rural Louisiana 30 something years ago.

I'm saying that when I made the first post, I had colloquial use in mind and it muddled things. So lets hope I can set the record straight from here. As far as taxonomy is concerned rat and mouse are indiscriminately applied to a bunch of rodents rendering it a meaningless distinction.

Extrapolate that out to the most causal of colloquial uses, no mention of specific species or anything, and people generally just call the big ones rats and the small ones mice. So the question of what to call a big mouse when the word for rat is 'big mouse' is kind of moot. They aren't different things past a certain level of specification the way a millipede vs. centipede are.

I see what you're saying and that's a fair point, but I think the problem is that you're using taxonomy and common usage interchangeably and it's a bit confusing. "Woodrat" and "cane rat" are not taxa (for example), they are common terms for species that aren't even closely related.

I thought that was referring to the weird and mildly unhinged train enthusiasts who get boners documenting trains coming and going and organize meetups to see particular rare model trains roll by or whatever. It's a bit obsessive, but I've known a few over the years and I'd sure rather hang out with train fetishists than most people quoted in this thread.

I used to go to the Natural History Museum every summer and somehow I've still never seen the whole thing because I would go look at all the dinosaurs, then I'd go look at all the animal dioramas, then I'd be like "oh right I'm at the wrong museum" and I'd go over to the Met and look at all the Egypt stuff which was the reason I'd been like "oh hey I should go to the museum today" in the first place.

Every drat year.

I have no regrets because the dinosaurs are awesome.

The Houston Museum of Natural Science has an insanely huge and awesome dinosaur exhibit. They have other great exhibits as well, but dinosaurs. Just thought I would shoot that your way.

Is that it? I remember that a very long time ago there was a QI 'fact' that there was on Welsh word for blue which you would have thought would have been easy to check. Always made me hesitant to believe when they brought things up on that show.

I seem to remember ancient Greek (like Homer Greek) not having distinguishing words for blue and purple. Like in either the Odyssey or the Iliad, Homer referenced the wine-dark sea.

e: Ah ha!

"The ancient Greeks classified colours by whether they were light or dark, rather than by their hue. The Greek word for dark blue, kyaneos, could also mean dark green, violet, black or brown. The ancient Greek word for a light blue, glaukos, also could mean light green, grey, or yellow."

I eat peanuts in the shell all the time and my shits are perfectly healthy.



What are we looking at here?

I'll occasionally eat dry roasted peanuts with the shell on. Deep fried peanuts always have the shell on and they're pretty tasty, if a bit much. The shell gets nice and crispy rather than tough and fibrous. Boiled peanuts, though, are my favorite. The ones that are less mature than most come out of the boil with very soft shells. Just eat those whole without a second thought.
