I have believed for years that Doris Day was dead to the point of not bothering to look it up. Turns out she’s alive and breathing aged 92 (or 94 depending on your source).

Banging your head against a wall burns 150 calories an hour.

I think it all depends on how hard you are banging your head, though. 

 

Just one drink of alcohol can cause brain damage and both drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana (separately, but probably also together) can lead to psychosis and/or schizophrenia.

I considered that, but we’re rather short on funds for paid voluntary kidnapping.

You can be voluntarily kidnapped; agree with your captors to not be harmed and get a cut of the ransom, will have been done numerous times over the years.

Voluntary kidnapping could also be if somebody wants to kidnap their grandchild and the grandchild is okay with it. It is still kidnapping because kids can’t give consent to be taken from their parents. It is the parents’ decision to make.

Calmeet riche😉

You have to make the adjectives agree with the pronouns in French- plural pronoun like ‘we’ or ‘they’ needs an ‘s’ or ‘es’.

 

And I’ll gladly teach you Irish and French (German if you want and I have basic Italian and Japanese). 

 

If you were a foreigner who learned Irish and came over to Ireland, you’d be loved. Sure the majority of Irish people can’t speak Irish so the thought that a foreigner would go and learn Irish is amazing (and I’d have you bloody perfect so I would, you’d be speaking Connemara Irish, the right kind of Irish in my books- none of this Ulster Irish rubbish, in no time- all hail the guttural sounds).

All I would want would be the plane ticket over and then room and board and maybe $30 in pocket money a week and I’d be a happy camper. It’s the little things in life that pleaseth ASJ.

I’ve learned plenty of miscellaneous tidbits of information during my hiatus, so I’ve compiled them in to a little list for you a-hard-days-night-george-9:

1. Don’t eat more than one Scottish soft eating rock at one time 

2. The librarian at my school’s father once pulled over Paul & Linda for speeding on the freeway. Small world. a-hard-days-night-paul-10

3. The acoustic guitar Jimmy Page used for some of Led Zeppelin’s earliest tracks was a 1963 Gibson J-200

4. You can buy a super fancy special version of the J-200 for a little over $21,000 a-hard-days-night-paul-4

5. Guitars in general are expensive paul-mccartney

From the History Channel official website:

 

The “three worlds” model of geopolitics first arose in the mid-20th century as a way of mapping the various players in the Cold War. The origins of the concept are complex, but historians usually credit it to the French demographer Alfred Sauvy, who coined the term “Third World” in a 1952 article entitled “Three Worlds, One Planet.” In this original context, the First World included the United States and its capitalist allies in places such as Western Europe, Japan and Australia. The Second World consisted of the communist Soviet Union and its Eastern European satellites. The Third World, meanwhile, encompassed all the other countries that were not actively aligned with either side in the Cold War. These were often impoverished former European colonies, and included nearly all the nations of Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and Asia.

Today, the powerful economies of the West are still sometimes described as “First World,” but the term “Second World” has become largely obsolete following the collapse of the Soviet Union. “Third World” remains the most common of the original designations, but its meaning has changed from “non-aligned” and become more of a blanket term for the developing world. Since it’s partially a relic of the Cold War, many modern academics consider the “Third World” label to be outdated. Terms such as “developing countries” and “low and lower-middle-income countries” are now often used in its place.
