The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

This is amazing! I randomly selected somewhere in the middle, and the driver had to jump out of the tram to extinguish a fire and quickly jump back in to carry on.

Apparently the female seminal receptacle is also very long. In fact, the increasing length of this receptacle is one of the explanations for the extreme sperm length.
Drosophila females have evolved to fertilize their eggs with particularly long sperm. Only large, healthy males are able to produce large quantities of gigantic sperm, and if a female reproduces with healthy males, her offspring will have genes that make them healthy, too.
Same. I have zero fashion sense and it shows. Doesn't mean I can't appreciate something nice. But always scared if I compliment someone, that it will do more harm than good.
Thanks for sharing, somehow reassuring to know I'm not alone.
This shit gets me all the time.. '97 is 27 years ago. 27. Checks math, yes.. 27. Surely not? Feels like it's 10 years or so. Checks math.. no, 27.

Where do you think they've gone?' he said.
'Where what?' said Lady Ramkin, temporarily halted.
'The dragons. You know. Errol and his wi - female.'
'Oh, somewhere isolated and rocky, I should imagine,' said Lady Ramkin. 'Favourite country for dragons.'
'But it - she's a magical animal,' said Vimes. 'What'll happen when the magic goes away?'
Lady Ramkin gave him a shy smile.
'Most people seem to manage,' she said.
She reached across the table and touched his hand.

Recently learned it's actually "Eagles", not "The Eagles". (For example, take a look at the album covers. There are also documentaries in which they talk about it.)
But even the band themselves will use "the" when it grammatically makes sense. So confusing.
Try pressing this thingy:
Not a city builder / house builder, but Planet Zoo might scratch that itch. Takes a bit to really learn the building mechanics, but people can build amazing things in it.
"Hints" is another name for "charades"
But looking at the picture there is no road behind them, only the path going up the mountain?

Careful now
Looks like flames, so cool!
Recommendations for non-combat MMO's?
Been really enjoying Palia lately. I like all the little quests and the emphasis on gathering, crafting, farming, etc. And really enjoy the absence of any sort of combat. Are there any other MMO's like that?
darkness is the absence of light

Love the discworld puzzles! Completed this one a while ago. The boxes are also really beautiful:
I definitely did not think it was a rocket without ever really looking at it closely.
