Whenever I read something about margarine vs butter, this conversation from The Vicar of Dibley comes to mind:

Pretty interesting--But I always thought the story of the bra was a tale of industrial theft and Bazooms.

I'm guessing she was doing preliminary sociological research that established the existence of Rule 34.

Um . . . The Middle Ages is usually defined as the period between 500 and 1500 AD.
Tea may have been used in China during that period, however it was unknown in Europe until Portuguese traders started bringing it back home in the late 1500s. Catherine of Braganza, wife of King Charles II of England, introduced tea to the British around 1660. It was extremely expensive and not widely consumed in Britain until the 18th century.

Where in Helheim did you get this information? I have been reading Norse mythology for close to 20 years and I have never seen any way that a specific date for Ragnarok could be determined.

And even if there were, there will be signs if Ragnarok is coming.
The murder by Loki's trickery, of the god Balder, son of Odin and Frigg.
"Fimbulwinter" a long and extremely cold winter lasting three years with no summers.

A red rooster "Fjalar" (All knowner), will warn all the giants in Jotunheim that Ragnarok has begun. In Niflheim, a red rooster warn all the dead, that war has started. In Asgard, a red rooster “Gullinkambi”(Golden Comb) will warn the gods.

Heimdall will blow his horn, Gjallarhorn (Resounding) warning all the einherjar in Valhalla that the war has started.
I don't recall reports on any of these events--even on Fox News.

For the straight story, may I recommend the fine book, "Norse Mythology...According to Uncle Einar" by Jane T. Sibley, Joel A. Leib (Illustrator)
You'll learn about everything there including: Thor's Harley: the Valhalla Sports Bar; and a video game about the end of the world!

The Washington State liquor law requires anyone who serves or manages on-premises liquor licensed establishments to complete Mandatory Alcohol Server Training (MAST) and obtain either Class 12 or Class 13 permits.

Class 13 Servers Permit:18 years of age and older.

So, nothing pretentious about calling Cody a Mixologist. Legally, that is what he must be if he is going to make those drinks.

Its the MK I "Hun-Getter" grenade. Designed by the Australian Ordnance Ministry. It was supposedly easier for ANZACS troops to throw. Unfortunately, the weapon's tendency to return, coupled with a poorly designed 10 second fuse, caused more damage to its users than its intended targets.

Mjolnair 2X, please

That is a bit tiny for a "bear trap" It looks more like one used for coyotes, foxes or other small predators. Bears are usually trapped with something weighing 10 to 13 lbs. which is much more than a cat could drag home.

Back in the day, we used to have to make those little dotted lines on the movie tickets by hand. Three to four minutes carefully punching those little perforations--then the usher would rip the ticket in half. All that work gone in a split second.
But the head ticket seller at the Odeon Vaudeville and cinema, came up with this handy device. one whack and yer done! How about that, you little monkey suited usher boy! You know where that flashlight fits too!

Troll Security Service 2XL please.

If properly prepared (both the haggis and you) haggis is delicious. Most folks who have never tried it have a tendency to imagine how bad it must taste. "Because, you know, its made of all sorts of icky-yucky dead animal bits!"
Well so are chicken nuggets and McRib sandwiches. Most folks just have to get over their premature gag reflex issues and just try a bite. This is where a good Single Malt Scotch comes in handy. Many Burns Dinners include plenty of peaty anesthetic to prepare the neophyte for his/her first bite.

And if they are still not ready to try it, offer them the one version not mentioned above: Vegetarian Haggis. It is made out of vegetables, not vegetarians. Not as good as the real stuff, but pretty tasty nevertheless.
