Grumpy British middle-aged nerd living in France with an equally grumpy cat. My profile picture is the cat that owns this human. She's way better looking than I am. She is called Anna.

That's the problem with the itty bitty ones. Whatever they stick their hands into will rapidly find it's way into their mouths.

I know we have suffered Dwayne Johnson being a brooding lump of meat far too often, but you know, this is how it is supposed to be. Actors take on a role and make it believable. That's what acting is.

By inside out, do you mean underwear on the outside, or the clothing itself reversed? And how far walking backwards? It's like three weeks away, so yeah, this ought to be pretty easy to debunk (or an interesting story otherwise).

Upvoting your own comments is the only thing that's "fake as fùck" around here, Dexter. Too afraid to let your comments sit on their own merit, so you have to upvote them all yourself to make it look like someone else is agreeing with you?

69 Exact Moments When People Saw Just How Dumb Their Partner Was

During the first 5 to 6 weeks of gestation, ALL embryos possess identical internal structures, including both Wolffian (male precursor) and Müllerian (female precursor) ducts. Nípples develop early in the womb, before the 6th week of pregnancy, right before true physical séxual differentiation of the embryo begins. So basically, nípples are standard mammalian equipment, and are developed regardless of the biological séx of the fetus.

Company Fakes A Reason To Fire Worker In An At-Will State, But Their Lawyers Missed One Crucial Detail
Company Fakes A Reason To Fire Worker In An At-Will State, But Their Lawyers Missed One Crucial Detail

Mid 90s, I was in my early 20s, working as a cleaner in a supermarket to make money while I looked for better things to do with my life. One day cleaning the offices, I stumble across two people getting up to some hanky-panky (at 5am?!). They look straight at me so I apologise for interrupting and leave. Ten minutes later my boss tells me that I'm fired. Why? Because I failed to clean an office. Cool. I take a bus into town and talk to a solicitor mom was friends with. Paid him fifty quid to write a letter. I wasn't aware of the exact text of the letter until later, but he demanded six months of salary and "legal fees" otherwise we'd be quite happy to walk into court and call upon the two of them as witnesses. The two of them that were married...TO OTHER PEOPLE. Never seen a cheque that large written so quickly. 😂

This guy is searching for his 15 minutes of fame. Processed meat is already classified as a Group 1 carcinogen (causes cancer in humans) by the World Health Organization; this is backed up by a 14 year European study that has already made this connection. In addition, red meat (like beef) is considered a Group 2 carcinogen (possibly causes cancer). I think in the case of red meat, it comes down to how it is actually cooked - the burnt bits that people find tasty are full of Acrylamide (ditto toast and taters, but burnt bits on meat is far more common). In both cases, the processing/cooking of meat forms Nitrosamines.

He's the only one that really "got" what this quantum thing was all about. If the others had, rather than being a tad uncertain, then they'd have dressed like that too. It's a natural reaction to the implied "everything you know about reality is wrong".
