Rule 1: Do not act incautiously when confronting little bald wrinkly smiling men!

How is annihilator supposed to be pronounced?

I agree. In my opinion it fits “weird layout”, second bulletpoint in the sidebar.

It’s divided into apartments. The pictures in the listing are from the apartment for sale on the first floor. The ground floor seems to be just entrance and staircase.

This is amazing! I randomly selected somewhere in the middle, and the driver had to jump out of the tram to extinguish a fire and quickly jump back in to carry on.

Apparently the female seminal receptacle is also very long. In fact, the increasing length of this receptacle is one of the explanations for the extreme sperm length.

Drosophila females have evolved to fertilize their eggs with particularly long sperm. Only large, healthy males are able to produce large quantities of gigantic sperm, and if a female reproduces with healthy males, her offspring will have genes that make them healthy, too.

Same. I have zero fashion sense and it shows. Doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate something nice. But always scared if I compliment someone, that it will do more harm than good.
Thanks for sharing, somehow reassuring to know I’m not alone.

Recently learned it’s actually “Eagles”, not “The Eagles”. (For example, take a look at the album covers. There are also documentaries in which they talk about it.)
But even the band themselves will use “the” when it grammatically makes sense. So confusing.

Not a city builder / house builder, but Planet Zoo might scratch that itch. Takes a bit to really learn the building mechanics, but people can build amazing things in it.

“Hints” is another name for “charades”

Down with this sort of thing

Careful now

Is this an auditor trap?

I definitely did not think it was a rocket without ever really looking at it closely.

The sun does not cease to exist at night.

No thank you
