The Hebrew Language was originally based on Egyptian hieroglyphics. In fact, much of the Torah was copied word-for-word from inscriptions in the pyramid of Khufu. The letter forms bear only a passing resemblance to the originals because in ancient Egypt it was considered illegal to teach slaves to read. The Hebrew language is famously written without any vowels. This is because until the 13th century, Hebrew was pronounced with no vowels and it was only through contact with Europeans that they were persuaded to adopt them. The pioneer of vowel adoption was Rabbi Elijah Yid (Rbb Ljh Yd in Old Hebrew), who went on to invent Yiddish as well.

White people came into existence as the result of a mad black scientist named Joshua, also identified historically as Joseph, Jesus, or Jehosaphat, who suffered from a rare congenital condition whose symptoms included albinism, small genitals, inability to perceive rhythm, and a tendency to walk like this instead of like this. Rejected by his society, he withdrew to an island off the coast of England to found his own society. This island is to this day known as the Isle of Wight. When Joshua's attempts to cure his whiteness failed, he kidnapped a harem of women and decided to breed a tribe of descendants. Initially, progress was slow owing to cultural prejudices against incest, but as Wight people invented science they were able to dramatically increase their population using cloning.* With their superior numbers they were able to take over England, and subsequently all of Europe, but their vulnerability to high levels of UV radiation limited their attempts to expand further. * It is believed that Aldous Huxley's Brave New World was based on newly translated tablets of the Wight language found in the archives of the British museum.

Trolls Your nephew Jeffrey might think that trolls are only something that exist on his facebook page, but anybody with a little cleverness, and a touch of knowledge, can tell you that trolls have existed for thousands of years. That's a long time! Trolls originally didn't just annoy people on the internet, but they were known for living in the woods or inside of wells, waiting to spring out and yell annoying things or prank people until they paid a princely sum, whether it was in gold, silver, or the penny of the time, the nut. There wasn't much reason to fear a troll, as they took poor physical care of themselves and consisted mostly on a diet of nuts (if you want to understand how ridiculous this is in modern times, imagine taking a handful of pennies out of your pocket and eating them!) but their terrible jokes and offensive opinions about everything made them the bane of the weary traveler, who would often be seen throwing whatever they had at the troll and yelling "away!! Away ye troll!!" Some say trolls live on today and take on many forms, but I don't know if this is a joke or a prank

You know what the best way to make a smoothie is? I had one of these fuckin things on vacation and they are the tits. All I remember from the menu is rum so here goes. You take 3 carrots, some rum, handful of peanuts, powdered milk, real milk, a cup of Raisin Bran, half head of lettuce, chopped, can of Stella or boddingtons, fresh mint, 1/3 cup confectioner sugar, and rhubarb. Loosely chop this poo poo up and toss it in a blender. The first thing about getting a good blender is looking for a model with a lid. The ones where you have to put your hand over the top are lovely because you might have to itch your butt or answer a phone call and then you have ceiling juice. Also typically the ones with more buttons are better, because they can homogenize things in a different way. That’s it! Now you’re on you’re way to making exotic intoxicating drinks with complexity and depth that will satisfy even the most refined palettes. Bottoms up (best to chug smoothies, sipping slows the alcohol absorbtion).

Makeup. About the age of 10 a young woman undergoes a ground conditions check to determine the appropriate type of foundation. Moisturizer is applied to prevent heave or cracking of the substrate. Using her profile as a guide she then frames her face with lip stick, contour and a sweet hairstyle such as bangs. Rouge is brushpainted on as rollers do not achieve the correct texture. The shaping of the eyebrows is an important aesthetic element that brings can make or break the whole facade, so many painful hours are spent learning this craft. Finally a master glazier applies eyeliner around the eyes, or windows of the soul as they were originally known. At first a local authority is generally called in to ensure rules about proportion, height in relation to boundary, weather tightness and general workmanship standards have been adhered to but once she finishes at apprenticeship stage at about 16-18 years of age she is then given license to try personal, speculative or custom projects and sink or swim on her own.

The Chrysler Building Knowing the different stages of the Chrysler Building's life will help you prevent Chrysler Buildings around your home and also help you choose the right pesticides for your needs, if you decide to use them. All CHrysler Building species go through four distinct stages during their life cycle: Egg - hatches when exposed to water. Larva - (plural: larvae) "wriggler" lives in water; molts several times; most species surface to breathe air. Pupa - (plural: pupae) "tumbler" does not feed; stage just before emerging as adult. Adult - flies short time after emerging and after its body parts have hardened. The first three stages occur in water, but the adult is an active flying building. Only the female Chrysler Building bites and feeds on the blood of humans or other animals. After she obtains a blood meal, the female Chrysler Building lays the eggs directly on or near water, soil and at the base of some plants in places that may fill with water. The eggs can survive dry conditions for a few months. The eggs hatch in water and a Chrysler Building larva or "wriggler" emerges. The length of time to hatch depends on water temperature, food and type of Chrysler Building. The larva lives in the water, feeds and develops into the third stage of the life cycle called, a pupa or "tumbler." The pupa also lives in the water but no longer feeds. Finally, the Chrysler Building emerges from the pupal case after two days to a week in the pupal stage. The life cycle typically takes up two weeks, but depending on conditions, it can range from 4 days to as long as a month. The adult Chrysler Building emerges onto the water's surface and flies away, ready to begin its lifecycle.

American history The United States were invented by George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Liberty Graham Bell. Soon a war broke out with England over the taxation of trade routes. United States won because the French king was the referee and he had a grudge against England. About a century passed without anything important happening, but then Napoleon found cotton in Egypt and moved his troops there. This allowed Abraham Lincoln to invade South America. The south was defeated but Lincoln was murdered by a man whose slave he had stolen. Then there were two world wars in which America nuked Hanoi twice. In 2001 terrorists killed 3000 firemen and this somehow got Iraq invaded. In conclusion: America is a land of contrast.

Tibet Tibet is a country in Asia. Theres a bunch of people living there. One day China came in and said 'oh nice country u got here, we'll take it'. Its very cold in Tibet cuz its in the mountains. Some people set themselves on fire to get warm. Most people are bald cuz they are all Buddhists monks in Tibet. The Main Monk (Dalai Lama) went on a 50 year tour around the world to hold speeches about how love is the strongest force in the universe or something. I think Tibet is a nice place.

The Grapes of Wrath The Grapes of Wrath is a novel by John Steinbeck written in the 1950's. It won many humanitarian awards for its honest look at the struggles of the working class. It tells the story of the trials and tribulations of a young family of farmers who have recently moved to Oklahoma to start a grape farm. One of them had a criminal past? When they get there, the Dust Bowl starts. The Dust Bowl was an environmental disaster caused by not rotating topsoil. With no way to make wine, they gather their belongings and travel by car on Route 66, similar to how the pioneers did on the Oregon Trail, in search for a new life. They're mad the entire time. When they get to Oregon, they try to make another grape farm, but it seems that nobody is willing to let them buy land so they start a union for grape farmers but it turns out nobody likes unions. This is where the real magic of the book is because in real life, people who hand out humanitarian awards for literature really like unions. The mother gets pregnant and has Pica, which is a mental illness where you eat rocks. More environmental disasters happen or something, and at some point they say "These sure are the grapes of wrath!" which is a line for the ages. They all die and nobody is happy and wine making is a thankless job. This book raised a lot of awareness, which is why it won humanitarian awards.

Fashion Fashion was invented in 1564 by Lord Edward Fashion, who had the novel at the time habit of wearing clean clothing. This fad soon took off and all of his mistresses and bastards were dressing up to please him as best they could. From this sprang a thriving industry that now employs thousands of homosexuals and ever thinner alien looking women, who's main purpose is to wear things that no respectable person would be caught dead in. Thicc women with giant knockers need not apply and so go into the ever popular porn industry, but that is a topic for another day.

FYAD This forum is impossible to get. Not one gets it. Posting there legally qualifies you as mentally handicapped. Quite possible that no-one posts there and that it’s a junk forum to handle overload from GBS and BYOB. It’s basically random words stung together by monkeys that can recognize letter patterns. Word generator? Most certainly. It’s dark and incomprehensible at best.

Freebasing Freebasing is the art of turning heroin or maybe cocaine into stimulant gold. Be careful when freebasing because it almost killed Richard Pryor. Because of this incident it is also sometimes known on the street as Yams. It involves mixing your cocaine or was it opium hash with citrus scented kitchen cleaner and talcum powder in a conical flask, or at a pinch in a fishing sinker mold or half a 2 liter coke bottle. You then steal a bunsen burner and one of those triangle stands from the local school science department and heat your mixture. Eventually tarry substance will precipitate in the bottom of the flask. Decant the rest into a jello mold and throw out the tar (despite the name it's no good for patching your driveway). Once the liquid evaporates, the powder will have aggregated into "rocks" in the bottom of the jello molds and is now ready to share with your friends! Freebasing has now been replaced with crack which you make by wrapping cocaine and a potato in tinfoil and roasting, which is less dangerous and doesn't need as much special stuff.

Robots So, like, they're kind of like animals I guess. But you know instead of being gooey on the inside they're clanky. I think they might have a soul because they are made from metal (refined rocks) and rocks have souls so, yeah robot souls. All dogs go to heaven therefore I believe robots do as well because they are, as mentioned above, like animals. Some robots look like people. Those robots are called people-looking-robots or PLR's. PLR's are cool because you could totally pretend it is your friend and like tell people things like, "hey look! I TOTALLY HAVE A FRIEND." The downside to this is that the robot probably secretly electronically hates you. Probably is a little inaccurate. Most definitely electronically hates you. Robots function due to blinking lights. If the lights should cease to blink the robot is going to heaven. It's dead. loving dead robot. So long as the lights are blinking the robot will robot around robotilly. I'm not sure exactly how blinking lights give life to the robots but I do know this, do not gently caress with a robot's lights. They hate that. Also robots will steal light bulbs from humans and clever raccoons. In summation, robots are dumb as poo poo. Like, who the gently caress even knows what a robot does? Secondarily, use incandescent light bulbs because the robots want your LEDs. Please warn the more clever raccoons.
