I know the Mongols killed European knights using horse archers. I thought they killed the knights from a distance, and not by killing the horses followed by close-up stabbing, but I can't find anything one way or the other.
"Don't they teach recreational mathematics anymore?" 17 is also the only number where this happens. See OEIS entry A000607 . OEIS is full of pointless examples. :)
To misquote Tolkein: “some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. Conjecture became theory. Theory became fact.” Now I have to train myself, when I look at an avocado, to stop thinking about extinct sloths pooping.
I looks like there's a window between the camera and the goat, because looking now (in daytime) I see headlights apparently reflected off that window as there's definitely no road at goat head height.
Ahh, they excluded ? , ?, and ? because they are extinct. Then again, until now I didn't even know that sauropod, T. rex, and dodo existed as emoji. Don't worry hoopoe, hiding away in the Egyptian hieroglyph ? - your day as an emoji will come! Clearly there should be a followup study using all Unicode characters, as the hieroglyphs include tilapia, dung beetle, horned viper, and baboon. Time to apply for a grant.
Yes, time runs so funny that in the single day of Adam's Ribs they manage to order barbecued spareribs from Chicago and get them delivered and cooked in Korea.
If it were a real-time in-world reunion then 40 years after the end of the Korean War in 1953 is 1993 - dawn of the world-wide web and just 7 years after we last saw Trapper John, MD, working at San Francisco Memorial Hospital. Then again, we know time runs funny in that world, where the 4077th was in Korea for more than three times the length of the actual war.
Something to add for my long fantasized Norwegian road trip to the tidal currents of Saltstraumen and then ferry over to Lofoten on the way up to the Arctic Circle. Some day .....
When I visited Massachusetts and asked what to call someone from there, I was told "Bay Stater". Wiktionary claims "“Bay Stater” is the official designation of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts but the federal government style guide prefers Massachusettsan." This image uses data from a federal source, hence that choice of denonym. Curiously, my browser does not recognize "Massachusettsan" as a word.
I don't come to Neatorama to read about the dating history of a warcriminal, and if I do, I prefer the obit include mention of the several million people estimated killed due to his actions, and not just the American deaths.
Does it bug anyone else that "eia" isn't an, ahem, authentic English word? Asr is a loan word, at least, though does not appear in the Scrabble dictionary.

Time-Life - your source - says 1,500 gallons per hour, but those are recent sources. Publications from 1945 say things like "The machine can make 500 gallons of ice cream a day —with storage space for 1500 gallons more." and "a special unit which turns out 10 gallons of ice cream every seven minutes". There is even a picture of one of the 125 hp refrigeration engines .
