The emperor’s new blinkers?

Certain smells (associated with bad experiences and therefore to be avoided), apparently.

No goal. Though the rationale given is strange. This has nothing to do with the ball being “out of play”, which in turn has nothing to do with the keeper dropping/bouncing it or not.

‘Restraint Asphyxia’ – sounds a lot better than “they choked a kid to death”.

Liverwurst sure is an acquired taste – but it doesn’t taste quite as strongly metallic as pure liver (depending on the recipe; the jar in front of me only conains 20% actual liver).

Or, and I know it’s almost unbelievable, Trump lied …

Thanks.

Yeah, I was aware of those. History is annoyingly complicated when you look closely. The Japanese were treated with a lot of racism at the time – and put into internment (aka. the c-word) camps.

Trump and his extreme-right mob like Israel (or rather, Israel’s current government) and antisemites. Make of that what you will.

The first sentence also contains 14 words (I didn’t notice that one myself, Beau of the Fifth Column at youtube pointed it out – always worth watching).

Cartoon by Dr. Seuss, from 1941. Note the slogan.

Here in Germany, if you take your driving test with an automatic transmission, you’ll only be allowed to drive automatic cars (with manuals still being very common, especially on the used car market). Perhaps the legal situation in China is similar?

I mean, the US doesn’t really have a functioning court system, either …

Nope.

Especially since the former are actually illegal in Germany, so Mercedes already has amber turn signal units ready.

It’s kind of fitting, since most modern Ferraris are just as uninspired.

Haven’t had one in a while, but I remember it as OK. Although Spaten brand beer for North America may actually be brewed locally (i.e. not in Germany) – I remember I had Löwenbräu (same company) made by Labatt, which was … not brilliant.

It’s exactly what I think about Beck’s, Germany’s Bud.

Those are a few too many coincidences for my willful suspension of disbelief. So no, I’m not buying it.
