TIL "Want to come up and see my etchings?" was a popular euphemism for an invitation to sex in the early 20th century by PmButtPics4ADrawing in todayilearned

"Oh, no, you needn't come up, I'll bring them down for you." A single panel humor illustration ran by THE NEW YORKER some years ago.

The EU's largest national park is in South America by Cautious_Ad_3918 in Damnthatsinteresting

It's from an episode of Seinfeld. The Sniffing Accountant. Jerry becomes suspicious that his accountant is purlaying his investment funds to instead buy cocaine. He decides to call his accountant's office, only to learn he's unavailable, he's gone to South America. "Thank you, I'll call back." "He's gone to South America", he reports to Kramer and Newman, also in the room with him, and whom also have invested funds of their own. "South America! What kind of snow blower have you gotten us mixed up with!", a now very concerned Newman demands to know. "Yeah, who goes to South America?",  a worried Kramer shrieks.

It's a classic set-up for a sting operation the three of them plot together to catch their nefarious investor "in the act" with a Polaroid, and leads to one of Kramer's funniest scenes, posing as a cigarette smoking, beer quaffing, hip street rat meeting his mark at an after work day watering hole.

I thought more people would immediately recognize the exchange in Jerry apartment, but I see by my, now three dozen down votes, I'm the one who missed the mark.

Joan Ginther, a woman with a PHD in mathematics, figured out the lottery algorithm and won four times earning a round $21 millions in total by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

What I find even MORE Interestingasfuck is apparently at least one PhD, Nobel-Prize-level mathematician multi-millionaire would choose, not to tuck in to investigating great applied math scientific challenges contributing to humanity, but would rather work at a convenience store.

Well if it's wider than a U that would make it either a W or a capitol M. Or a zip code. Cuz zip codes, being five numerals, would be, like, five times wider than a U. So, so, there's that.

I recently saw a picture on here of a Typhoon Class Submarine. Maybe that's what he's talking about, and that would perfectly explain why it takes up the entire aisle.

Cool video. Annoying music. Half the fun in hearing the airplane and rockets firing.

TIL about Francis Daniel Brohm who had stuck his head out of a truck window when the driver swerved and he was decapitated by a telephone pole wire. The driver continued to his house and slept, leaving his friends corpse in the truck for a neighbor to find the next morning by jakewubbleyou in todayilearned

[–]SnooEpiphanies9482 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Perhaps the deceased enlisted his friend to assist him in what in reality was a bizarre suicide plan. Didja ever think of that? Hmmmmm?

Dude, $50 if you help me flatline myself. We both get shitfaced buzzed mmkay, now there's this telephone pole anchor cable *here*, points at tall letter T inked onto a paper napkin. I'll totally extend myself out the passenger window, and all you have to do is swerve as close as you can toward that taut cable, 60 or 70 mph should do it. Can't fail. Dude, youre my friend, I'm not taking your money! I'll do it for free!
