Staving off the Darkness

Thundra tells me that Wikipedia is going off line for to protest about the U.S. government not liking the internet. Or some such.
Thus grasping the bull between a rock, Riddled will begin it's own compendium of useful information, much as the Irish monks copying out manuscripts in them olden days before there was cell phones.
1) The highest capital in the world is the H in the Hollywood sign. It fell from heaven's gate on any given Sunday in a galaxy far, far away.
2) Many parts of the world are joined together. This appears to have been badly planned what with the history of some of these places, e.g. France and Germany, Russia and everybody and Alaska and Canada. Some countries of the world are surly holdouts and not connected to others. I blame their parents.
3) T.E Lawrence was in a movie with camels. The Sopwith Camel was a World War One fighter plane. Lawrence and the Sopwith Camel are both no longer in production or dead. Coincidence???
4) Cats do not care too much for agriculture. Many cats are unmoved by explanations as to why it would be better, if they are going to catch birds,  it was Blackbirds they caught not Thrushes. Yes the Thrush is a silly bird but it eats snails, Blackbirds kick mulch from arsehole to breakfast around.
5) One of the least combustible elements is water. No one ever called their funk/rock band. Earth Wind Fire and Water. Yes they just stopped at Fire. This does not explain Toad the Wet Sprocket.

Phew, time for a break. This preventing the dark Ages is hard work

    What would it do? Produce illuminated circuit diagrams? Require monks on a treadmill to make the screen so bright it'll give you first degree burns? Warn you that Lucifer has fallen?

    Until now. Thank you, Riddled.

  22. Are there Youtubers of crows riding around on Roombas? I THINK NOT.

    They just don't have sufficient incentive- perhaps a dead squirrel on the Roomba would suffice.

  25. Hopefully there will be time to preserve other critical information, such as the ingredient list for Enzyte™ Male Enhancer and an overview of Cottage Cheese recipes before the darkness comes...

    ReplyDelete
  26. Mmmmmmm cheese cottage!
    Combining Dorset Egg medium with the cheese cottage would give you a Dorset Cheese Omelette House and who could say fairer than that?
    DKW- More information is needed on Josiah Jedediah Hatrack Whore Ass Man Cantrall and it is entered under "Common Household Pests". Also more on his Mom IYKWIMAITTYD
