No, the FIRST monkey to write Shakespeare used a feather and ink.

It only took a couple hundred years after all those millions for them to be written on the typewriter.

Literally any clip or quite from it I've ever seen makes me SO mad because they're SO WEIRD and also REALLY good??

I've seen a net 7.5 minutes worth of that show and I'm pissed about it but I have to admit.... They were onto something.

I feel like everyone deserves at least one job related "fuck you" style moral victory in their lives and that qualifies for sure.

For me it was when the WORST manager I have ever had called me back a year after I quit to ask me to come work for her again and got to laugh in her face and tell her I'd have happily accepted half the pay at her place to scrub toilets as long as it wasn't working with her, but instead I was making double what she paid me to do my dream job.

I've never done cocaine, BUT I'm pretty sure I know what it feels like.

No, it says the kidnapper gave him to another couple who raised him. The relationship of the kidnapper to those people, what they were told, etc is unclear.

This is legitimately so wholesome from start to finish. No "orphan crushing machine" vibes - just a reminder that most people are generally decent and helpful humans.

Life hack for OP and anyone else who ends up in this situation:

  • Take boxed cake mix of your choosing.
  • MOSTLY follow the package instructions. However:
  • Add one extra egg (for example, if it calls for 2 eggs use 3)
  • Substitute oil with 2x butter (for example, if the recipe asks for ⅓ cup oil use ⅔ cup melted butter.)
  • Simple, easy, pro-tier cake.

How did one look up bad words before the internet? Is "fuck" in the dictionary or like what?? Would librarians share such knowledge??

Genuine question who grew up with Google

Holy shit I'm involved in a similar situation - except we really, REALLY want it gone - it's just a game of "if you give a mouse a cookie" trying to upgrade all the similarly fragile downstream stuff so we don't blow up the entire operation when we switch.

Thank you! Especially appreciate the commentary below the wiki article - otherwise I'm not sure I would know who's "winning" or "losing" in that mess.

Even if no one wins, sounds like he won by not playing.

Wait I don't follow this stuff - what's the tea on this?
