It's not clear if anyone at the campfire put forth the argument that the Earth's equatorial bulge makes it not perfectly round, but instead a shape known as an oblate spheroid.

The real hero here is the editor who knew they should cut that from the piece but thought "gently caress it, let the people have their fun."

Could just be me but there's something a bit tasteless about talking about "planting a bomb" especially when it comes to the English and Irish :v:
And maybe, just maybe, you should only use the phrase planting a bomb when there's an actual loving bombing. What the gently caress, Guardian.

Canada has it's own "The South/Florida". It's Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.

Dollars to donuts the people involved in this were originally from one of those provinces.

Irish jockey kicked in face by horse then run over by ambulance

quote:

Crossgar man Chris, whose father teaches paramedics how to drive ambulances, was in Italy for a hurdle race when the animal kicked him.

"The starter came over to help me because I was on my back and choking on my blood," he explained.

"He put me in the recovery position, with my right leg out straight.

"As if (my injuries) weren't bad enough, the racecourse ambulance came up alongside us and reversed up onto my leg.

"They stopped it on top of my leg, so I started screaming, but it broke it straight away.

"Everyone around me had to push it off me. You have to laugh, really."

Ow.
