Didn't the UK decimalize recently (like, within living memory)? IIRC Steven Fry makes an off-hand comment about it in his reading either of Mythos or Hitchhiker's Guide?

It helps to understand the antique finances of the Witchfinder Army if you know the original British monetary system: Two farthings = One Ha'penny. Two ha'pennies = One Penny. Three pennies = A Thrupenny Bit. Two Thrupences = A Sixpence. Two Sixpences = One Shilling, or Bob. Two Bob = A Florin. One Florin and one Sixpence = Half a Crown. Four Half Crowns = Ten Bob Note. Two Ten Bob Notes = One Pound (or 240 pennies). One Pound and One Shilling = One Guinea. The British resisted decimalized currency for a long time because they thought it was too complicated.

we decimalised in 1875, and people still sometimes refer to 2 kroner (crowns) as 1 daler (thaler, dollar) per the change over exchange rate but yeah you cant really buy anything for that so its dying out as well

The company now earns profits from its catalog of Billboard-charting hits, by the original artists, particularly songs from the 1950s through the 1980s. Tracks include "The Twist" by Chubby Checker, "What I Like About You" by The Romantics, "Tutti Frutti" by Little Richard, "Surfin’ Bird" by The Trashmen, and "Help Me Make It Through The Night" by Sammi Smith. K-tel distributes more than 200,000 songs worldwide per year on digital platforms, including Amazon, Spotify and iTunes, and licenses songs from its catalog for use in commercials (e.g., Nike, Fiat, Coke and KFC), films (e.g., Spider-Man, The Dallas Buyers Club and Hotel Transylvania 2) and television programs (e.g., Ray Donovan, Breaking Bad, Californication, Mad Men and Transparent). K-tel has also produced Mini Pop Kids, a series of recordings in which a group of children aged 9 to 13 sing current, family-friendly pop hits. The series sold millions of copies when it was originally distributed in the 1980s. K-tel brought the series back in 2004, and has continued to produce recordings. The latest album, Mini Pop Kids 15, reached #1 on the iTunes Kids Chart. The series is promoted by a touring group that performs shows across Canada.

Music critic Johnny Rogan interprets the titular bird as a "metaphor for a doomed relationship."[6] Rogan finds some hopefulness in the final lines "And though these wings have turned to stone/I can fly, fly fly away."[6] Music journalist Nigel Williamson is reminded of imagery from Young's 1968 song "The Loner" by the line "Danger bird, he flies alone."[7] Music author Ken Bielen finds additional themes in the song as the comfort we find in complacency and our fear of being vulnerable, for example in line in which the titular bird sings that "freedom's just a prison."[5]

Nábrók (calqued as necropants, literally "corpse britches") are a pair of pants made from the skin of a dead man, which are believed in Icelandic witchcraft to be capable of producing an endless supply of money.[1] It is unlikely these pants ever existed outside of folklore.[2]

possibly you could graft skin from other parts of the body? it doesn’t just have to be the legs does it I guess you could be so tall that your legs have more surface area than anyone else’s body and it would just suck to be you

Do you have to wear the pants for them to work? Or can you just stick them in a closet somewhere and periodically go and take out the coins that have accumulated? Also do the coins just appear inside the man-bag or do they like, continuously roll in from the street? Are they stolen from other people or created de novo?

The directors commentary track starts out in the traditional fashion with the director and co-stars but soon adds in extra characters and descends into a largely unrelated comedy experience. Halfway through a seemingly chaotic recording, it stops and is replaced by the directors' commentary for There's Something About Mary.

The language's mascot is "Camelia, the Raku bug". Her name is a nod to the camel mascot associated with Perl, and her form, in the pun-loving tradition of the Perl community, is a play on "software bug". Spiral designs embedded in her butterfly-like wings resemble the characters "P6", the favored nickname for Perl 6, and off-center eye placement is an intentional pun on "Wall-eyed".
