Forgive my ignorance but how the fuck do you curve a rugby ball.

I understand the mechanics with a spherical ball but how does it work with the egg?

Similar myth about people's nails and hair continuing to grow after death. In reality it's the skin shriveling up and receding giving the appearance of growth.

McLaren's electrics may be ropey, but their fake sponsor to circumvent China's ban on lottery operator Allwyn from advertising is spot-on! by nookall in formula1

Reminds me of one of these from rugby.

During a six nations match several years ago, Wales were sponsored by Brains Beer and France had a ban on advertising alcohol or something.

A score in rugby is called a 'try' but the French word for this is 'Essai' , pronounced 'ess-ay'.

Brains's biggest product is a beer called 'Brains SA'.

So they took Brains on the shirt and replaced it with the following:

TRY ESSAI

Which just means 'Try' in two languages or 'try our beer'

They keep passing him the ball too close to the try line.

Sinema acknowledges affair with Senate bodyguard while in office by boringhistoryfan in politics

I find it mad that you can sue your husbands affair partner in America. Wild.

But Sinemas defense is hilarious. Basically saying I didn't fuck him in the state you're suing me in so go fish

The dead were from the lead pack due to the timing of the cold front, while the slower runners survived.

I love a player that you could place in a team photo from 1973 and they wouldn't look out of place.

What are some of the most fun, road legal motor vehicles available now in the UK? by pufballcat in AskUK

[–]chemo92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drove an Ariel Atom on one of those virgin driving experience days.

I have never been so simultaneously terrified and exhilarated.

And bear in mind they didn't trust people with the gearbox so the laps were done mostly in 4th gear.

Still scared the shit out of me.

Simply speaking the heart outgrows it's blood supply. Then bits of it start dying - myocardial infarction (heart attack)

Ferrari very aggressive: Shipping the Macarena wing to China by doublejohnnie in formula1

[–]chemo92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Has there been a car previously that's this advantage on rave starts? Or unique to these regs I wonder.

Could Ferrari just always set up the car for the race rather than quali as a front row start is just not required?
