I love St. Carpet who died lying down on the stone floor of a church to keep the feet of believers warm during mass.

my grandpa dropped by for some tea this morning, and told me about a hit and run accident he saw at the farmer's market, where an old guy did hit a car's door with his wagon, started ranting about loving cars everywhere and rode off

My great-grandfather really hated the new stupid fad, a car, until the bitter end when he was killed by one.

The more I learn about my Polish grandma the more I understand why we didn't visit often. For example, she had every tooth pulled and wore dentures... since she was 20.

Military folklore says that they changed the recipe for the dried ryebread (crispbread) in the Finnish Army at one point (after WW2) because it caused too many dental problems by being too hard to eat with bad teeth. The original recipe was more or less nicknamed "Anti-tank bread".

I remember my grandmother telling me stories of when they first got telephones in their area. Back then it was all switchboard operated, which meant you called the operator and asked them to manually connect the phone lines of the two homes together so they could talk. One of the many downsides to this was that it was very easy for the switchboard operator to listen in to everyone's phone calls if it was a small enough town. In my grandmother's case, the operator was an old Ukrainian woman who had wooden teeth. So often when they were talking she said they could hear a clicking noise in the background, which was the sound of the operators teeth tapping together as she was listening in on their conversation. So eventually when people caught on and heard the noise, they would shout over the phone, "Lilly! We can hear your teeth rattling! Quit being a snoopy bitch!" and then the line would go quiet again and they could have a private call. I don't know why, but picturing that always makes me laugh.

It might not be noticable to English speaker but Hollywood really upped the quality of all things EE lately. No more НИСLEAЯ ЯEAKTOЯ, KΣΣP OИT! That's why I was a bit dissapointed with how John Wick done it.

Watch the Americans. They put so little effort into the show that Colonel Zhukov has his shoulder boards on backwards in one scene, plus literally all of his medals were issued years after the scene takes place.
