THE DARK SIDE OF SCIENCE BREEDS A WEAPON OF WAR

Russian scientist felt bad about killing Lakia.
Course that didn't stop them from literally blowing up two other dogs when their capsule almost came down in non-soviet territory.

Laika died from overheating within an hour or two of launch. Poor Laika. :smith:

Half serious chat, Americans are fat and get no fiber in their diet.

And that's why we built the infrastructure to maintain our massive logs. Even tracing the history of the toilet all the way back to the Romans you'll find sit down toilets and massive chamber pots you could fit a baby into. As a result, Americans have forgotten how to squat properly which is a skill unique to the rest of the world except us.

In the most ancient of far Eastern toilets you pull your pants down, hike your shirt up, squat heel to toe, and pray the poo poo away. If there's no bidet there'll be a bucket of water and you use your left hand to get all up in there. Sometimes you have to bring your own toilet paper and paper bag to dispose of it. And the trash cans have scented bags so it's not like an awful stench when you lift the lid.

And if you're a lady who needs help directing her stream...



This man has smelled poo poo from literally every country.

This game is perfect for empty-headed dunces that don't like to think much!! Of course, I'm a genius... I wonder why I'm so good at it?!
Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to Putin.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... dogs.

Also the 'needed science' thing is bullshit. Ruskie higher ups wanted a loving dog in space in a month and they sent her up there. Her capsule was basically the Sochi of inhabited space craft.

You can smell American poo poo from other countries, that's how bad it is. Americans can't tell but actually the whole world faintly smells of their poo poo.

Everyone should purchase squat stool for toilet. They even make them with raised ridges to assist weak American heels.

I have made it my life's goal to taint the bathroom of every major country. I would say Singapore is the most pleasant place to poo in public. USA is probably the worst because people will freely heckle you if you've got a particularly nasty funk and a courteousy flush just isn't that courteous at this point.. Sometimes I wish we had mandated toilet laws like Qadaa al-Haajah.

For example, despite numerous reports and video evidence suggesting that the flame has died out perhaps as many as four dozen times, eight in the first six days of the relay, the official line is that it has stopped burning only something like three times so far, Mr. Osin said. And only once, he stressed in an interview, had it been relit by someone’s lighter.

“It was just a gust of wind,” he said of the incident, which took place in the Kremlin grounds, on the second leg of the 14,000-leg relay. “The torchbearer who was running was absolutely terrified and didn’t know what to do, and he asked the guard to help him, and the guard” — here he paused — “helped, with the only device he had.”

It is unclear what happened to the guard.

quote:

Russia’s torches were manufactured in Siberia at a reported cost of $6.4 million by KrasMash, which usually makes submarine-launched ballistic missiles. It is not everyone’s favorite just now, but it cannot be sent to Siberia, because it is already in Siberia.

lol even many 3rd world countries don't have loving squat toilets with no running water

like not wanting to put toilet paper in a bin that's not going to get emptied nearly often enough and not wanting to flush a toilet with a pail of water is something that's only appealing to americans

Its not as bad as all that, but close. The snow is artificial so it has a tendency to tamp down and ice over very easily. I'm sure its hard as hell.
