    I thought they were used for ass, not mouth. Clearly she went ass to mouth and paid the ultimate price.

  “You know old Ysgrid Steffansdottir? She died. I’ll remember her fondly. She loved seafood. Couldn’t shove enough of it in her mouth… Hold my mead, I have an idea.”

  Humans do something weird, journalist claims people who study ancient humans are surprised.

  I’m not an archie, but I’ve known enough to safely say they are not mystified. Humans do weird shit.

  For example: “vampire” child burial
