Birds are reptiles.
Birds are reptiles.
I mean, we’re kind of known for war crimes too. Was anyone in WW1 worse than the Canadians?
I mean, Mademoiselle Cochonne would be her own special kind of lady.
Holy shit! This dude’s pluralising in Greek!
Canada’s Brightest Ditch-Digger
That’s not too fair. Poor guy. Someone has to fight back. Are we sure it wasn’t self-defense? Maybe they were trying to sink his yacht?
When they are in Kill Mode they are absolutely vicious. They’d reach through the fence and pull the chickens’ heads off.
It takes time for earth worms to occupy available ecosystems. It’s not like they’re natural migrators. In particular, they’re slow to cross rivers. Not very good swimmers either. I’m addition to agriculture and construction, anglers also seem to be spreading them.
When I first heard of this, I immediately thought of the hero from Irish mythology, Nuada Silverhand.

I wonder if the Irish myth is a recollection of a famous Bronze Age king with this prosthesis.
Yeah, I’ve seen this cropping up over the last few days and was wondering.
A quick look through a few news sources suggests that it is related to an artificial ground mulch made from recycled materials. This mulch was used in a bunch of parks. It came from a recycling company that claims all its mulch has tested negative for asbestos. Again, although it is referred to as ‘bonded asbestos’ which means it has been combined with another building material, it doesn’t say what. Up until the 90s asbestos was used in concrete, under lino, and in drywall.
… I don’t know who the fuck would use ground up construction materials for playgrounds mulch. Pretty sure the school near me (in Canada) users ground up tires, so I’m not walking too tall here. I suspect that’s going to be it’s own thing in a few years. (Tires are pretty fucking toxic. They very optimistically thought they could make artificial reefs from them in the 80s. No. Nothing will grow on them.)
Boomers.
I didn’t need to read too far to confirm that.
Kryten is on your list. Rad.
Lots of good articles on Canadian brutality in WW1 if you do a search. As for war crimes in particular, here’s one of many articles mentioning how Canadians killed prisoners of war:
