I was a lumberjack for fifteen years. It's dangerous. You don't cut a tree down on yourself but trees often have dead branches that fall straight down, or the tree hits another tree and breaks a branch that thwangs back in your direction, or you're on a clearing job with a machine operator that picks up a fifty foot trunk and decides to do a 180 degree without looking behind him, or, the chain on a saw runs so that if you accidentally touch something with the tip of the bar it jumps back at you very fast.

RIP, the Great John Sessions- such an underrated performer- a polymath in my opinion- Straight roles and amazing mimicry- reference Stella Street- timeless and worthy of a greater appreciation.

re the spacing of door hinges - Before hinges could be made of brass or stainless steel they were iron, and if the lower one were placed too low it would soon rust, from being splashed with water while the floor was being mopped. 9 inches from the floor is enough to keep it mostly dry. The invention of the metal hinge, and of the earliest keyed door locks, was such an impressive advance, that such things were placed in the care of the Goddess Arianrhod, whose home, Cae'r Arianrhod (Arianrhod's castle) is Polaris, the 'hinge of the heavens'.

Kite Flying in Vasant Panchami is a Hindu Festival, Its an Indian festival celebrate according to Hindu Calander. Its not a Pakistani festival. And, Yes, people have been caught and harmed by random strings of "Maan-ja" hanging from severed kites stuck or fallen in trees. Worst is seeing Pigeon hanging on one wing tangled in string and in hard to reach branches. Thankfully, the government did take measures back then and risks are greatly reduced.

I am pretty sure two of the ravens at the Tower of London were (are?) called Hugin (not "Eugine") and Munin because those were the names in Norse mythology of Odin's messenger ravens who flew across the earth and reported back to keep him informed of world events. They are the two ravens mentioned more than once in Wagner's "Twilight of the Gods" so I am surprised Stephen, being a Wagner fan, was unfamiliar with the names.

Leftover mindset from the Empire? England led the Western world in so many areas for so long. It would be difficult to suddenly see yourself as poor and left behind in 1945. The British disdain for the ridiculous attitudes of America is quite appropriate to me though. As an American, I am much more on the same wave length as a Brit than a fellow American. Maybe the result of reading mostly British literature growing up?

It's actually a misquote of a misconception. Gojian actually ruled the kingdom of Yue (越) during China's Spring and Autumn Period, not Vietnam （越南). The misconception, common even among Chinese, was that prisoners decapitated themselves to shock the enemy. It was misinterpretation of the old script, which actually describes soldiers unafraid to die slitting their own throats as they reach the Wu (吳) ranks.

The last time i took my dog to the vet, he was going on 12 months old, and the vet asked me if i was planning on getting him desexed?, to which i replied "i have no plans on it at the moment, hes perfectly well behaved and hes in perfect health" She said "thats okay, but it was her duty to make sure i was aware that if i didn't get my dog desexed he would be at a much higher risk of getting testicular cancer" I just kind of smilled and noded and that was that. But the whole way home i couldn't stop thinking that, yeah of course having testicles makes you more likely to get testicular cancer, you might even say its a requirment... you can't get testicular cancer, if you don't have testicles! how is that in any way an argument to cut a perfectly healthy and functioning part of my dog off? When i got home i told my wife, we have to go hospital immediatly to have your breasts removed!. she replied "what the f*ck are you talking about?" and i said "did you know you are at a much higher risk of getting breast cancer if you have breasts, while we're at it we should get me prostate removed aswell!"
