Dang. I'm totally out of food. My car is all the way at the other end of the allotment and there's no guarantee that it will start up when I get to it.
Maybe I should find a good wing place and order some wings.
There is no problem that cannot be solved with pudding.
too much pudding god
That is not a problem.
What if you're trapped inside a tank full of pudding
Or even a kiddie pool (that shit is slippery)
And what if you are two women in their underwear
Wait was I saying

So I am trying to make a clean map showing the medieval borders of the country of Estonia, in order to illustrate how, over time, the country has been conquered over and over again. It's really hard, because the people in medieval times didn't know how to draw maps that weren't full of shit.
I'm about ready to just copy and paste maps into my presentation and mail a letter back in time to the people who made these dumb things.

I should stick that in there and see if anyone notices.

Prior to WW2 the single greatest loss of territory France ever suffered was due to the invention of an accurate clock (which is necessary to accurately measure longitude compared to a fixed starting point).
Being able to accurately measure longitude (very hard compared to latitude, which was known for centuries) reduced the area of France on its maps by over 30%.

I've managed to overlay a clean map of modern Estonia over an old map and have some landmarks match up sort of close, so I am satisfied. Now to color it in!

And Europe is not actually a continent, it's a peninsula. It's all a conspiracy of cartographers.

When I was in Mexico City, people would look at me (the palest motherfucker in that country at the time) really confused when I would ask a question or order something in spanish because my inflection was slightly off. When I say slightly, I mean imagine someone ordering a "hamBURGER" instead of a "HAMburger" and the waiter having no fucking idea what they were talking about.
Mexico is a funny place.
Was your Spanish teacher from Cuba?
A former boss of mine was from Mexico City (as a side note, after 7 years in the US spoke English perfectly. Even odd little grammatical exceptions like "an" or "whom" or what have you). When he went to Spain had no trouble getting around. Was just a bit of an accent difference (according to him) comparable to American vs. British English.
When he went to Cuba he couldn't understand a fucking word of what people were saying.
Nope, Mexico. Other gringos had the same experience when I brought it up, so I think it's just a language/cultural thing.

fuck that's a lot of of cases being thrown around, Luke
So after doing some actual translation on them, what do you think about the Luke and Acts haven been written by the same person/group thing? Plausible?
I don't know what to at the uni today. My mind is pretty messed about by lack of sleep. I can only really maintain a conversation at a gradual pace and my vocabulary is diminished. I don't think I have the faculties required to assemble a presentation. I don't want to go home though, because I'll go to sleep and undo the point of suffering through this in the first place.

Go hang around the communications dept. lounge. After a couple drinks you'll fit right in.

I'm sort of trying to sleep with my eyes open. I keep meaning to install a stealth bed somewhere around here.

Currently I am: Muckin' About
Also: No one in my class knows of the twin-headed eagle of the Imperium. Bunch of fucking heretics.
Yeah. There are quite a few of them on campus and it's like
holy fuck your body is conservatively covered and the only thing I can see is your face but my goodness you are gorgeous lady.
he's a jingoist like me Elm, no worries.
You have a Sarah Silverman av.
speaking of gorgeous
I'd wreck that shit.

I had no ider.
Wouldn't we all.
I would do that even with the risk of loosing my long time partner.

Why would that loose your long-time partner? If you were doing it right, Sarah Silverman would be one who ends up loose.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
I would except Sarah would make me cry because she'd make jokes and I'm an insecure pussy.
Also I've always be thinking of that scene where she fake licked her dog's balls.
