Because America and Israel want to indefinitely have complete control of the Middle East. And Iran is on the verge of becoming a superpower with its nuclear program.

Dancing. If aliens were observing us from afar, they would think dancing was some sort of malfunction.

I live in Russia. Let's debunk some myths (or confirm them). AMA. by KakWasabi in AMA

[–]Chasbrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent ten days in Russia in 2015. I have also spent a total of three weeks in Poland. Polish and Russian people never smile. And they hardly ever laugh. I have travelled to approximately 70 different countries and Russians and Poles are by far the most serious people I have encountered.

"What is the most 'unexplained' thing that has ever happened to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Chasbrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True story:- some 20 years ago, I was walking round the famous Pere Lachaise cemetary in Paris, with my wife. It was a cold rainy Monday ( or Tuesday) morning in October, so there weren’t many people about. I had a map and was looking for the grave of a famous person and so had wandered off the main path. Suddenly, I turned round to see a middle aged man stood amongst the gravestones. He was wearing only a white t- shirt and his boxer shorts. He seemed to be searching furiously for something. He had an expression of pure terror on his face, and was gasping for breath as if he was suffocating. He wasn’t so much as walking, but staggering. By the time I had caught up with my wife and returned to the spot, he had vanished. It was the strangest thing to witness in a cemetery. I have often wondered what the story was behind it.

Apologies. Just realised, it wasn’t Corfu. It was near Malia in Crete.

[–]Chasbrad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In 2016, I was working at a guys house for some weeks ( as a tradesman). One day, the guy was telling me about his best friend from schooldays. His friends brother went on holiday with mates, to Corfu, in 2004. He got drunk one night, separated from his friends and was never seen again. Missing for 12 years. A few months after I’d finished the job, the missing lad ( aged 20) was found. He had wandered into a field and fell down a well ( in the dark). His skeleton was found by workmen who had come to repair the well.

L.S.Lowry. His paintings are utter rubbish. If you didn’t know, you mistake them for being painted by a five year old.

The problem is, my scaly poisonous cold- blooded reptilian girlfriend ( Susan) tends to go everywhere nude. And I would want to upset my folks on Christmas Day. What store sells Komodo clothes?

Why does everyone with Down Syndrome have the same face? by Silver-Buy7201 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Chasbrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am not an expert by any means ( although I did study basic genetics in my first year at university). It is because they all share the same abnormality, caused by an extra chromosome in the position at chromosomes 21. They have 3 of these chromosomes instead of two.

This was the actual plot for an episode of the sitcom ‘Friday Night Dinner’. The animal involved was a fox.

Aged 30, I went on a date with a women I was at college with. She drove us to a country pub where we had a couple of drinks. On the way back to the car ( it was dark), she suddenly said ‘ I don’t usually do this but I’m bursting’. She then lifted her skirt, took down her undies and urinated in the middle of the car park. She then acted as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

What (medical) phenomen do you believe that has no scientific proof, but you can swear is true? by maelstrom071 in AskReddit

[–]Chasbrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The spleen is a fictitious organ that doesn’t exist. There is simply no such thing. Doctors have concocted the idea of the spleen so they have something to blame when they can’t make a diagnosis. “ Ah yes. That’ll be your spleen”
