the peculiar thing is that the cavendish was bred to replace the last banana that was 95% of the banana industry. The taste you get from Artificial banana flavouring was modelled on that banana not the cavendish, and that's why they taste very unalike.

The football and shopping one is in Scotland is a line from the film Trainspotting.
Where on a night out the guys and girls are talking in two groups in a night club about each other, and when they come together they ask "What're you talking about?" and they lie to ech other by saying Football..Shopping

In the picture there is one of the odd anomalies of the Titanic wreck.
The pairing of shoes.
Turns out that treated Patent Leather has nothing that will eat it. The patent process makes the leather incredibly slow to biodegrade on its own and there are next to no microbes that will tackle it.
Patent leather was incredibly popular at the time, so once the bodies drifted down they landed with their shoes on and then everything from bone to teeth was devoured leaving only the shoes to show where the body lay.
Macabre isn't it.

great article.

I wouldn't say his opinions were hypocritical though, confused yes but not hypocrisy.

If you've ever been seriously poor, and I mean hungry homeless and without hope of it changing poor, the pursuit of money and fear of falling back into penury can be a driving force. While the first hand appreciation of what poverty truly is can make a socialist of a soul.
But in Jack's time he could both see the resistance to social reform so would see both socialism and his own pursuit of money as not being contradictory but springing from the same source.

The Social Darwinism and the Eugenics I'll give you those no question, but the alcoholic in favour of prohibition is no different from anyone with a substance abuse problem, they all stare at the needle the cigarette, the bottle or white line and wish that the bloody thing had never been discovered.

Very interesting article, thanks.

I'm a silversmith amongst other things, and I built a bezel mounted wisdom tooth ring in about 1990, using my own wisdom tooth.

The bezel mounts look pretty ugly, maybe they're not made from fine silver as they should be.

fine silver is different from strlng silver.

How odd, it didn't mention that White Anglo Saxon Xians are superior to blacks and Jews.

Or that the poor are poor due to their inferiority, and the wealthy are genetically superior by dint of their money...somehow.

Actually as a person who funded there way through art school by "screeving" AKA pavement drawing in chalk, I can tell you that in a lot of places pavement drawing is not allowed.

That is why you see the people with the huge bits of paper taped down to the pavements nowadays. They get into trouble if they don't.

SO the bike contrail thing is absolutely destined to fall foul of the law.

Hell in Australia they seem to now want cyclists to have registration plates,insurance,road tax, and pass road worthy testing, so I think the days of carefree cycling are pretty much numbered.
