- Comment on You got me 2 weeks ago:
To be fair, I’ve not memorised too many cooking instructions, but I can quote about half of “Monty Python’s Holy Grail” with reasonable accuracy, or tell you in great detail a number of stories of “what me and my friends got up to” when I was younger, or give you plot summaries and occasional quotes from half of the episodes of Blackadder, Red Dwarf, Star Trek TNG etc, and lyrics to hundreds of songs from the 1980s and 1990s… and I’m not exactly particularly talented in that area. It’s not a massive stretch to think someone could fairly easily memorise and story-tell one fairly long book.

Star Trek 55? Have they released a whole load of films without me realising?
- Comment on At least they dont need a umbrella 4 weeks ago:
Reval is Tallinn (in Estonia), so perhaps the thick fur enclosure is hot enough to work as a sort of “personal travel sauna”?
- Comment on Archaeologists in France Dig Up a Jar Packed With Tens of Thousands of 1,800-Year-Old Roman Coins 1 month ago:
How could a comment section about some coins found in a pot turn into comment cancer?
[Checks comments]
Oh. I see. It turns out our calendar system is “woke”, “patriot Christians” are an “oppressed minority” and archeology is “theft from hard-working private landowners”.

try this link (actual link, not a Rick Roll)
- Comment on The Intricate history of Camel Semen extraction wasn’t really something I expected to dedicate my weekend to… 2 months ago:
Two questions: 1) Why isn’t the “collection tube” connected to some sort of bottle to collect stuff in? 2) Why does the “collection tube” have a sort of mouthpiece (like a gerbils water bottle mouthpiece) next to the guy’s mouth?

Thought that was Admiral Cain off of Battlestar Galactica at first.
(It is the same actress, but also similar clothing and hairstyle)
- Comment on These faithless dogs nowadays! 2 months ago:
I guess they can just “reset” to “this is normal”. Never mind the dogs, oxen horses etc - apparently, in World War 1, the British Army “employed” ~500,000 cats to protect food stores and kill mice and rats in the trenches, airfields and ships.
Imagine a cat ignoring a 24 hour artillery barrage right next to it and having a nap in a trench dugout.
My current-day cats shit themselves if I wash the dishes too noisily.
