Great point. Just imagine how far back we'd be if nobody gave 2 shits about engine or car design until someone had narrowed down gasoline as a useful fuel.

Well yes, everything has changed.

Yeah, i still recall the day i realized that fact.

Back in my school days, our math teacher used to tell us it came from old French pornographic novels, which before René Descartes used "X" to represent the dangerous unknown pleasures and "XXX" to represent really graphic unknown pleasures.

This wont help then: This is just another way for your browser history to embarrass you postmortem, as family and friends will not only be able to see where you wasted your time (or what porn you looked at), but how many times you did so.

You beat me to it.

While it seems as if actual research went into making up that post-Communism fantasy map, there's just 1 golden nugget in there that gives away the bluff: You can be pretty fucking sure Germany will not start taking Polish territory nor even entertain the idea of such.

My inner evil genius needs that retro "LAZER BYPASS" box... Sooo much!

Cthulhu may be in an undead dead slumber, but that doesn't mean he can't sleepwalk or sleep eat. ^_^

If you will, allow me to supply some class to these wild speculation:

Without any condemnation or assumption of ignorance, this is a great example of where historical and linguistic context enrich the understanding of a given culture. In this case, ancient insults holds the key. ^_^

Wow, in Germany of all places. I would have thought the WWII neopagan Nazi flirtations with Norse/Germanic iconography and religious ideals, would make depictions of Norse mythology to children a kinda uncomfortable situation.

That kinda respect just goes to show how much movies like Jaws have twisted people's perception of sharks. Back then they were creatures of deep meaning and something to be respected as one would an elder, but now they're just mindless dumb murder machines.

Okay, that gif thoroughly creeps me out, as i can't help but wonder what's he gonna do to that poor furry phallus-shape thing?

Whoa, wait a minute there! You cannot simply quote an off-hand-remark about some sailor being saved by a friggin' shark and then just move on.
