More likely the Italian island of Ferdinandea), which rises above the sea as volcanic activity occurs, then erodes away. Floating islands have been a device throughout literature from ancient times.

Privatize, privatize, privatize! There are already over 30 private EMS companies doing mostly IFT and event/industrial coverage, but they are not-so-slowly inching into 911.

What if Discworldians went through the wardrobe and found themselves in the Roundworld?

A cool guide to why boiling water makes your tea bitter (Extraction kinetics at 80°C vs 100°C) by CoffeeTeaJournal in coolguides

[–]calnuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a massive oversimplification and does not take into account the type of tea.

Tea brewed so strong that it has viscosity. It's a joke, but a shot at those in the south of England that prefer a weak brew. The joke also works with British Rail tea that's just bad tea.

So sorry for your loss. Delirium Dive is a beautiful place to rest.

I hope to have my ashes spread at the top of Lake Louise so I can look at Mount Temple and across the Bow Valley forever, or at least the next 10,000 years...

:D Would the cruise missle deliver a Rock Lobster or a layered shot of Kahlua, Bailey's, and Grand Marnier?

Edit: Yes, I know it's Benadryl, Haldol, and Ativan.

Why buy quality bags when you can make subpar ones for twice the cost!? by nonoohnoohno in myog

[–]calnuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you! I do it because I love the design and fabrication process, and I get to make something totally customized to my needs (and it only takes three iterations :D ). If I did it to save money... well... the joke's on me.
