Sniping is when you intend to make the first post on a page. If you make the first post on a page and you didn't intend to, it was just an accident - that isn't sniping.

If you've ever thought about the big names who change the world and revolutionise everything you should also probably consider that if a bunch of nobodies didn't support and hold them up they'd mostly all be dead well before they could accomplish loving poo poo.

I believe it was Plato who said, "were it not for my dumb as poo poo brother the local bullies would have beaten me to death before I could learn the art of not making GBS threads my pants."

Opossums do not "play" dead, as in "pretend to be dead." The reaction is involuntary and in fact they do lose consciousness due to extreme fear and stress.

To decimate something means to reduce it by 1/10th, not reduce it to 1/10th.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


"Ambivalent" does not mean impassive, uncaring, or apathetic. It means strong feelings in opposition.

The beer in beer can chicken doesn't actually do anything. The can props the chicken up in an interesting way, but not enough beer evaporates to have any effect on the chicken. The trivial amount of steam that is generated just goes out the neck anyway. There is no way for it to get into the meat.

So, drink your beer and spatchcock or truss your chicken instead. Or get one of those vertical roasting stands.

Cows don't fart methane, they burp it.

Termites produce the most methane of any species, and there are several other insects and arthropods that produce more than cows.

Also Termites are commonly misbelieved to be in the same family as ants, but they're really in the same family as cockroaches.

An infestation of termites or cockroaches is referred to in extermination language as an "Intrusion"

Explaining that Frankenstein is the name of the doctor, not the creature, is extremely annoying. Also, the creature's creator was not a doctor, he was a medical student. (In Frankenstein: The True Story from 1973, the creature is asked his name at one point and responds, "I am Leviathan, for I am many", which he overheard being read from the bible. Pretty cool!)

Legion, not Leviathan, right?

.. Also, nauseated is when you feel sick. nauseous means you make other people sick.

Incorrect, OP.

Adjective: nauseous
1. Causing or able to cause nausea.
2. Feeling nausea; feeling about to vomit.

co-pilots are not called co-pilots they are called first officers and they are not assistants to the captain they are fully qualified pilots and the only difference between the captain and the first officer are their hire dates.

also "flying commercial" does not mean flying on or for an airline it means any flying done for compensation or hire. so any time a pilot is paid to fly an airplane they are a "commercial" pilot

Obelisks aren't just for decoration, and their true function is as sinister as it is mysterious.
