There actually is a solid gold toilet, though not this one.

And the original was made by a Chinese jeweler in 2001, based on an quote of Lenin.

Slightly off topic, but toilet seats keep disappearing from my university. Is this a new trend/prank that I’ve missed?

That reminds me of one very religious couple at my high school who got married as soon as they turned 18, right on the school grounds. They purposely did it so that we could see them from the windows. I haven’t seen them since I graduated, so I have no idea how that turned out. Then there was another one who…

I admit that I only managed to insert tampons after I had my first gynological checkup involving a speculum (I was 14). After that is was super easy, like opening a jar after the seal is broken. But I know that this is not related to my hymen.

He reminds me of Prometheus in some ways.

I think you could paste the text of the upper card somewhere and most people would mistake it for parts of the bible (aside from the lines about science, but I doubt they’d read that thoroughly).

I seem to know very different pregnant women because I was told I come across as almost rudely uninterested. As long as you’re not bringing up the topic I will go back to business as usual.

Btw, does anyone else HATE fleece? It leaves a weird icky dry feeling on my skin. I can’t wear clothes that are made of or lined with fleece. Microfibre is smiliar, but not as bad.

But shouldn’t cookware last longer than 3 uses? If you have to replace them that often it’s no longer a convenience gadget.

Are we long lost sisters?

Does your neighbour know my mother? She won’t let anyone near the washing machine or dryer unless someone is home to check on it and nobody is allowed to use the wireless (!) phone during storms. Though she’s better than my grandaunt who would always pack a suitcase and sit ready to run on the stairs during storms.…

I have no crockpot experience, but my mother used to have a special pot that she got for her wedding. My dad couldn’t stand any food that had ever been in contact with that pot even if it was only used for reheating. My mom thought he was just being weird because nobody else ever complained, until I came along and…

I think my German geography teacher would have a lot to say to Mrs Hampton.

Would vegans/vegetarians be the LGBTQ+ eqivalent in your cookbook religion? Why am I thinking so much into this?

The German version at one point changed ‘you shall not kill’ to ‘you shall not murder’, so people could no longer use that as an excuse to avoid military service.

Some international students tried to do that once, in front of the theology college next to the university of all places. They didn’t last long though. Hell has no fury like a mob of angry students who are late for class and you are the thing in their way.

I have a leatherbound copy of the Divine Comedy with gilded edges. You’d be surprised how many people have mistaken it for a bible, even when they could see the cover.

It’s hard to see, but I guess at least the black ones are some of these sock-sneaker-things.

It always surprises me that in the US the most extreme/conservative religious groups are Protestant, while in most other countries it’s still the Catholics.
