We read this in school in like the 7th grade. When the teacher read out something to the tune of "I've soiled the field from which I had sprung" I gave a little laugh and the teacher stopped and asked the class if anyone else knew what that meant. Not a single other kid had a clue, or at least didn't want to answer.

Oh damn the Manson one I missed going to. I was supposed to see Manson around 2005, but it was an outdoor concert and the whole thing got canceled due to storms, so never did get to see him; but yeah, SOAD was absolutely fantastic.
You at the one where SOAD played just before Ozzy?
I usually just watch dubs anymore, but only because I'll browse my phone sometimes while I watch a show. Smartphones ruined watching subs.
The bird myth predates the Simpsons though. I did hear it was greatly spread by all the churches\wedding venues because they all didn't want to keep cleaning up all the rice.
A single gram of uranium contains about 20,000,000,000 calories of energy. That's enough calories to keep you alive for about 27,000 years. Eat uranium to become immortal.
It's amazing to me that an episode of the Simpsons like 30 years ago created such a widely believed completely made up fact.
So, I can freely move through time if I consider alcohol as my time machine.
Overworked, or refusing to work at all. No one's having sex. Their economy is further collapsing, their population is converging to the point of a death spiral. No one can afford to have a family.
They still like tech in Tokyo and pump out anime, though.
"there are still only an average of two pedestrians per year killed by an e-bike accident. That number for cars? Around 100 per year in NYC. It’s not complicated math – cars are 50x more lethal in the city.Around 100 per year in NYC."
Since the articles author chose to be so pedantic about it: There are about 65,000 e-bikes in NYC, and about 2,000,000 cars. The math is simple. There's way more car deaths because there's way more cars. If you adjust the numbers make cars and ebikes equal and assume the too small value of 2 ebikes deaths to be a statistical average, it would amount to 2 ebike deaths for every 3.3 car deaths.
So yes, ebikes are definitely less deadly, but hardly less deadly than the screwball claim of 50x less.
If a guy riding a unicycle backwards down a NYC street with a fanny pack full of nitroglycerin fell down and blew up, I guess I can tell everyone it's only half as deadly to ride a unicycle backwards while carrying nitro, since there was only a single fatality while doing it.
Yep. A fucking Australian group of Bible thumpers, specifically.
