1915 German propaganda map of Europe if Entente won.
A bit of everything. Really don't expect to find a pattern in my posts. It just happens I like a lot of things, quite possibly even you. Just sit back and enjoy!

What really happened in the Bolivia Special
James: Listen, Richard. In order to rescue Jeremy, we’re going to split up. Otherwise, we might both get taken down.
Richard: What’s with the “one of us might die” tone?
Richard: Wait…don’t tell me…you’re planning to sacrifice yourself for Jeremy?
James: Listen, Richard. If it’s for Jeremy’s sake, I don’t care if you die.
Richard: I’ll kill you first, you bastard!

A student once asked anthropologist Margaret Mead, “What is the earliest sign of civilization?” The student expected her to say a clay pot, a grinding stone, or maybe a weapon.
Margaret Mead thought for a moment, then she said, “A healed femur.”
A femur is the longest bone in the body, linking hip to knee. In societies without the benefits of modern medicine, it takes about six weeks of rest for a fractured femur to heal. A healed femur shows that someone cared for the injured person, did their hunting and gathering, stayed with them, and offered physical protection and human companionship until the injury could mend.
Mead explained that where the law of the jungle—the survival of the fittest—rules, no healed femurs are found. The first sign of civilization is compassion, seen in a healed femur.— Ira Byock, The Best Care Possible: A Physician’s Quest to Transform Care Through the End of Life (x)
