As of January 2016, there are only two documented living people who were born in the 19th century: Emma Morano Martinuzzi of Verbania, PIE, Italy (born 29 November 1899 in Civiasco, PIE, Italy), and Susannah Mushatt Jones of Brooklyn, NY, USA (born 6 July 1899 in Montgomery, AL, USA).

Pfft... Brooklyn is so 2015. All the cool kids are living in Jersey City now.
While I have no issue with music volume at say, music festivals, why does every band with an amplifier think they need to crank it to 11, no matter how small the venue?
I listen to music, that actual people play, about actual things and problems, not the rich people b%~$%$@% "Oh no I don't have enough shoes or champagne, whatever shall I do" that populates today's pop (s~+%) music :-D
I wear no adornment, no jewelry, watch, tattoo or piercing.
I barely remember to wear my wedding ring (which is a five dollar mood ring from a flea market) but in my line of work (landscaping, not toy store) unless you do throw down serious cash ($2,000+ for titanium), your wedding ring won't last (tho i have twice had it save me from serious or catastrophic injury).
I've just had an epiphany-- I enjoy science fiction stories (or at least stories with the trappings of science fiction) way more than I enjoy straight-up fantasy stories.
So, my point is, does anyone want to run a PbP of that bootleg Mass Effect RPG that almost won an ENnie before it got disqualified?
New Yorkers are proud of our egg cream history, the war between manhattantown and brooklyn for who created it first is fierce), but otherwise yes.
The reason Manhattan and Brooklyn are fighting over who created the egg cream is because neither of them want the honor. Egg creams are disgusting, and once a clear winner is decided, they'll finally be formally shamed in public by the rest of the United States.
Seriously, though, what kind of a sick f!~~ thought, "Hey, you know what would make this chocolate milk better? Seltzer water!"
Wow! The dialogue in the last Transformers movie is terrible! Like some of the worst I've seen, and I've seen every Barbie fairytale movie and all the American Girl movies, also Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
I honestly couldn't wait for all of them to die, especially the John Goodman transformer.
Is FB message center down for anyone else? It straight-up refuses to load, linking to a blank page. I have to go to m.facebook.com from my laptop just to view my messages.
here's some of what i know about viking age washing habits: they washed their faces every morning. At the beginning of every meal they washed their hands (which is more than can be said for most people today!!). In some places saturday was known as 'washing day'.
ibn fadlan complained about the washing habits of the rus, but he did exaggerate his complaints, and he was impossible to please anyway; due to being a muslim familiar with the tradition of never washing in the same water that was already washed in. If you got past the complaining, he did report that they have meticulous, daily washing rituals.
interesting.
you've replied to a number of my posts saying interesting, what does it mean?
That he has a degree in psycology ? :)
edit: i swear i made that joke and THEN looked at his profile...
1. Stall until you can get Enter The Infinite, Jokulhaups, Tormod's Crypt, and One With Nothing in your hand.
2. Cast Enter The Infinite, leaving you with one card in your library.
3. Play Tormod's Crypt.
4. On your next turn, draw your last card, tap 7 lands (make sure one of them is a Swamp), then cast Jokulhaups, wiping the board of everything but your Crypt.
5. Cast One With Nothing to dump your hand into your graveyard.
6. Sacrifice your Crypt to exile it, along with all of the cards in your now-full graveyard, leaving you with no hand, no library, no graveyard, and no cards in play. You lose the game.
On the subject of bad dates, it seems that several women took it upon themselves to take note of my existence at precisely the moment that I stopped having free time to do anything other than work and go to band practice. Now I've got to pick one (or, more likely, none, at least if I want to be able to pay my bills), and I don't know what to do. My life has suddenly turned into an issue of Archie Comics. I don't even like Archie Comics.
280. The historic vote in 1894 goes the other way, and Brooklyn does not become a borough of New York. They remain an independent city, and development of said city continues in the other direction until Brooklyn annexes almost half the townships of Long Island. Eventually the entire island is referred to as Brooklyn.
That's beautiful.. I can't stop thinking about it.
