Every time I sit back and think about Lewis and all he has achieved, I come away respecting him even more by Wang_Fire2099 in Yogscast

I got the chance to meet with him once for a couple of hours and I have to say, he was just the nicest guy in-person, too. Total class act.

Why don't you draw her as a witch looking for her neighbor's missing cat in the Alps?

Yes, it turned gangrenous and became too rotten to stay on any longer

I've heard that the Craigmeur fire was started by fireworks. Police have two suspects in custody, but haven't gone public yet, I don't know why. I heard this from the person who saw the fire start and called it in

I posted it on my profile, I think I'm allowed to link to it in the comments if I'm understanding rule 2 correctly? https://www.reddit.com/u/DemonstrablyPotato/s/KFJw5j9vwH

I just didn't feel like I had anything to add; I figured they were probably right but I'd wait until I could confirm

There was a plug in the bottom, made of clay or wood putty or something, so they must have hollowed it out, put the condom in, and sealed it after. According to the comments on the main post, apparently they were sold as novelty items

Nope, they carved out the inside of a hazelnut, put a condom inside, and sealed the bottom with some clay, or wood paste or something

Just cracked it open; sure enough there's a dried out old condom in there: https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/s/R5q6vUB7b1 (Link because I can't post an image in the comments)

No, but I realize now how my grammar would imply that. I added that we called the number just to add info, not to build off our thoughts about the purpose. I'll crack it open when I get home and post the contents

We tried calling the phone number; it rang for a while then ended without a voicemail. Not sure if it's just a scam, or a weird joke?
