It’s a superb museum though and isn’t the sort of smutty kiss me quick sort of thing you’d expect. They do however have willy shaped waffles in the cafe that are quite something though.
Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Jim Morrisons dad being central to the gulf of Tonkin incident that kicked off the Americans in Vietnam (might be bull****, but I like the sound of it)

The pentagon asked him to "get his son under control" during The Doors career and he said "Jim's his own man."
"father. (yes, son) I want to kill you..."

A penny dropped from the Empire State building wont kill you, scientists determined that a penny "traveling at terminal velocity cannot penetrate concrete or asphalt." It won't cause serious damage to a person, and even at the speed of sound, will still not damage flesh. At most, it could sting a little
However, I wouldnt want to try it 🫣

I'll start this story by saying it's probably untrue, the captain was apparently a bit of a story teller. Besides that equipment at the time wouldn't be accurate enough to be certain. However the scenario is entirely possible.
"The date was 30 December 1899. Know what this means? First Mate Payton broke in, we're only a few miles from the intersection of the Equator and the International Date Line.
Captain Phillips was prankish enough to take full advantage of the opportunity for achieving the navigational freak of a lifetime. He called his navigators to the bridge to check and double check the ships position. He changed course slightly so as to bear directly on his mark. Then he adjusted the engine speed. The calm weather and clear night worked in his favour. At midnight the Warrimoo lay on the Equator at exactly the point where it crossed the International Date Line!
The consequences of this bizarre position were many. The forward part of the ship was in the Southern Hemisphere and the middle of summer. The stern was in the Northern Hemisphere and in the middle of winter. The date in the aft part of the ship was 31 December 1899. Forward it was 1 January 1900.
This ship was therefore not only in two different days, two different months, two different seasons and two different years but in two different centuries-all at the same time."

You're saying that a small, metal projectile fired at human flesh at a speed of over 750mph won't damage human flesh (but might sting a little) . Behave.

The strongest living creature is the Dung Beetle.
OK, it's the strongest living creature based on it's size. It can pull an object over 1,100 times it's own weight.
I think the comparison to a human is somebody pulling six double-decker buses.
