  1. If Christmas means booze-ups and hangovers, i guess the Romans invented Christmas. Not sure they called it "Christ-mas" or that it had anything to do with charitable giving, peace and goodwill among humanity…..

  2. My chemistry professor used to do that demo with three balloons: one of oxygen, one of hydrogen, and one mixed. He didn't use a ten-foot pole, either. It was a candle taped on the end of a yardstick. He said he enjoyed a "bit of whizz-bang".

  3. Four years later and I still get a chuckle when, at the end, it pans back to the church steeple at night and he's still counting!

  4. Why do posters feel the need to embellish the videos with all this background music that makes it so hard to understand what is being said?

  5. Yuletime. Now I know where that term comes from! Brilliant! As for the seaweed, it's actually quite nutritious and full of calcium

  6. Glad I'm not a Christian. You lot miss 4 days of Yuletide. It starts on the 21st if December. Hail Thor!

  7. Pretty sure this was the first time I ever heard the phrase "medieval faggot"..
    Sounds brutal xD

  8. Vomitariums are simply exits. They are not rooms…funny though to imagine a theatre would vomit its audience at the end of a performance.

  9. Those are Smurf hats they’re wearing at the Saturnalia meal.
