Etymology
The word cock was first recorded in use as a vulgar term for the penis in 1618, perhaps deriving from one of the word's other meanings: "a spout or short pipe serving as a channel for passing liquids through".[2] It was once common in England for areas to be given names that reflected their function or the activity taking place within them.[3]

Gropecunt, the earliest known use of which is in about 1230, appears to have been derived as a compound of the words grope and oval office

I assumed that private lumber companies would also be integral in the funding of studies and possible solutions to the problem of S. musiva, but I was unable to find them. I think it is safe to assume since it is such a large problem they probably assist the Department of Agriculture in search of a solution.

By the mid-2000s in the United States, midget divisions once again were part of major wrestling promotions, and wrestlers such as WWE's Hornswoggle were competing for and winning championships made for average-size male wrestlers.

Pedaling an extremely small bicycle is very difficult and usually much slower than walking, so there is little practical advantage to having a bicycle that will fit in one's purse or pocket.

During a late 1990s airing of the movie on TBS' "Dinner and A Movie", Bruce Glover recalled that while filming their scenes together, he and Putter Smith had Sir Sean Connery convinced that the two were actually openly homosexual. Glover added that a few years later while on an airline flight he was flirting with a female flight attendant, and suddenly heard a Scottish-accented voice saying, "You son of a bitch", Glover turned around and saw the man was Connery.

Following the airing of the episode, Rajan Zed, the president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, called for an apology for its insinuation that the Hindu god Vishnu could be an alien. In a statement concerning the incident, the Society said that "faith was something sacred and attempts at debasing it hurt the adherents. Television and Hollywood should be more conscious while handling faith related subjects, as television and cinema were very mighty mediums and these could create stereotypes in the minds of some audiences." Zed elaborated that "Hinduism ... should not be taken lightly. Symbols of any faith, larger or smaller, should not be mishandled." A fictional version of Vishnu has previously appeared as a character in Marvel Comics.[18]

Tom Green's 2001 film Freddy Got Fingered won in five categories at the 22nd Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Actor, Worst Director, Worst Picture, Worst Screen Couple, and Worst Screenplay.[21] Green attended the awards in person, and brought with him a cheap red carpet which he unrolled as he entered the theater where the awards were being presented.[21] "I'd just like to say to all the other nominees in the audience, I don't think that I deserve it any more than the rest of you. I'd like to say that. I don't think that it would be true, though," said Green.[21] He had to be dragged off of the stage while accepting one of his awards because he would not stop playing the harmonica.[21][22]

expected that to be about spec ops the line, was surprised that it was modern warfare 2019 (which has an alright but pretty bog standard modern FPS campaign)

(spec ops the line is a poo poo fuckin game though. it makes you think you have the ability to make morally complex choices in the story but then just railroads you into committing war crimes and then has the nerve to berate you for committing war crimes.)
