Wouldn't that be when the legs are the most crossed? 🤔

@dangeRuss This made me go "That has to be bullshit." But no... It's true. The smoke enema was adopted from the natives in the Americas, and I'm left wondering if they were just trolling the idiots that came stomping around.
-
@Carnage Wouldn't have been the first or the last trolling. Remember how Brazilian natives convinced Roosevelt that piranhas routinely eat any animal that dares dip foot in the river?
-
@acrow there's also the well documented case of Gauls pulling Caesar's leg by telling him about an deer-like animal whose legs don't bend, and that sleeps by resting against trees. So you hunt it by searching for trees they use (found by the marks on the bark) and then half-cut those trees so that when the animal comes to rest, it falls with the tree, and because of its unbending legs, it can't get up and you can come and kill it.
Caesar apparently fell for it hook, line and sinker, since he very seriously retells that in his account of the war.

Maybe, but considering that people take alcohol and other drugs that way, it's probably a pretty potent way to get the nicotine into your system.
Floof!

@error Doesn't work. The women did not open the grave – they found the grave already opened.

@PleegWat Christians are also terrible at math. They say He lay in the ground for three days and nights, but he was buried at sunset Friday night and already up and around first thing Sunday morning.
Can't even put that down to something like "work hours".

@da-Doctah My understanding is that in the Jewish culture of counting days, "three days and three nights" was just a poetic way of saying three days where any part of a day and/or night still counted, and everything was one-indexed due to zero not being a widespread concept. So counting any part of Friday, Saturday, or Sunday would end up with Sunday being "the third day". (Plus maybe some confusion as to what was a "day", since generally it started at sunset which can make things quite different than we usually think of them.)
There are of course other theories, that the death might have actually been on a Thursday, or otherwise counted differently.

Not that I'm a mod in these parts, but lets not make the funny stuff thread a discussion on religion.

Yeah, the two theories I've seen are the translation of "the third day" meaning any part of each day, or that the Crucifixion occurred on a Wednesday, the day before a special sabbath for the start of Passover https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/63049/was-there-a-special-sabbath-in-addition-to-passover-when-jesus-was-crucified

@pcooper I was going to welcome you here, but I see you joined in 2007 with 68 posts in the intervening 16 years.

@jinpa 'Tis the season for it. Certain other folks have unexpectedly risen these past few days, too.

@boomzilla Looks at many half-finished projects. I'd probably never be able to start a new project.

I wish two half-finished projects were equivalent to one fully-finished one.

@dcon Monologue, I believe. Although even dialogue seems preferable to none at all.

Maybe for you... I'm sometimes entertained by the arguments between the others in my head.

@dcon For me, it's generally either rehearsing a conversation or a ic lecture with some imaginary other.
-
@jinpa Yeah, I'm much more a lurker than a poster, but I occasionally chime in on something if I think I have something to add. Probably wasn't really worth me doing so in this case, though.
-
@pcooper You got more upvotes than my average post.

@pcooper it answered a question I asked-but-not-really-asked, so it added something for me.
