oh sure, when a family goes to the museum it's wholesome, but when I go it's "a natural disaster" and "the wrath of the gods".

In England, "a bit wet" means "utterly destroyed".

Man I love those movable library shelves, death traps that they are.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I actually worked with them, and they have locks that you always flip to secure the shelf before entering to retrieve books.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I know, I have too, but my schools reference library was built in the 60's and a lot of those locks didn't work/kids never engaged them.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

well, something has to go into the library jam pots that they sell at the open day fair.

You would think they would have had a book that would have predicted this.

They probably did, but someone interpreted it as 5 years from now.

Surely the Flat Earth protect us from flooding.

The earth is not flat! It's a huge ball of ice so that it just appears flat to us.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Flat earth would just flood the entire earth before it ran off the edges, round earth would have it all just drip off the bottom. /s

8 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

No, there's a giant wall of ice around the perimeter. We'd all still die.

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

What if the wall of ice melts? Then it'd all drain off and those who didn't drown would be fine

Melts? You must be one of those Discal Warming conspiracy theorists.

You're complicating things by making Earth a 3-D cylinder. Just treat it is an infinitesimally thin disk and it all makes sense.

Two each for most of the books, but seven of each for the cook books.

But isn’t that... too many cooks?

Not really. It takes a lot to make a stew.

It blows my mind how many people don't know the Bible says two each for some animals, seven each of others.

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 3

In fairness, you can't even get most Christians to actually read it, let alone everybody else.

Ya, but they're british cook books. Zero is probably fine.

I'm not saying brits don't have cookbooks. I'm just saying they shouldn't be saved/consulted. You also forgot volume 3: vinegar.

I assume people rip out pages of cook books from the library like they ripped out pages from public phone books.

There were supposed to be 7 of each kosher animal on the ark, two of every non kosher.

8 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 0

Tell your friend Noah took two of every animal except for the ones God said were ok to eat. Noah took seven of those.

8 years ago | Likes 61 Dislikes 0

I thought is was 7 of each clean animal, and 2 of the unclean. Or were the clean ones the only ones fit for eating?

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Is this a reference to something?

8 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 2

… the Bible? It wasn't just two of every animal, after all

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Specifically the 7 cook books part. I don't get that part.

The ark had seven of each type of animal that was used for eating.
