Just for the record here, as far as constructed languages go, klingon is really lovely.

I remember hearing it is missing a lot of common items and objects, so instead of 'table' you had to say something like 'flat thing for putting upon.'

Pretty much, yeah. The language just outright doesn't have a ton of vocabulary that you need for normal conversations. The grammar structure is also completely backwards from what English uses, so it can seem more alien I guess. It uses an object-subject-verb object-verb-subject word order, so to give an example from wikipedia, instead of saying "Sam ate oranges" you'd say "oranges ate Sam".

Isn't that basically how some actual languages work?

No, not really. With living languages, if there's a word you need but don't have, you can either make something up or borrow a term from somewhere else. Constructed languages can't evolve or change like that simply because nobody speaks them.

I swear, this past week, Carson has decided he doesn't want to win and is trying to deliberately appear to have a full on meltdown. There's this, there's the whole pyramids quote that's just bizarre to even exist, there's him screaming at CNN anchors that they're stupid for believing he said something they just played a video clip of him saying, etc etc.

It's just his bullshit catching up with him. Whenever Carson gets a question he doesn't like, his response is always to deny everything. I remember I noticed it back in August, when it came out that he used aborted fetus parts for research after criticizing Planned Parenthood for supplying those parts. His response was to say that never happened, even though there are papers with his name on them that say otherwise. Just about every scandal of his, before and after that, has gone the same way.

It's been working for a while because it's such a bold thing to do, but he doesn't have the acumen to keep it up forever. The guy's a bad politician.

Goons have already pointed out how dumb that poll was because it was literally YES, NO, UNSURE, there was no option for "that's not a real place" or anything like that

I don't really see how that changes anything. If you know it's fake, why would you answer yes? The fact that 30% of republicans support bombing a place they've never heard of is all anybody cares about.

In cases of death by misadventure in Korea, it would be reported that they were suffocated or died of hypothermia by running their fan overnight to preserve the honor of the family.

Misadventure, in this case, usually means suicide and such.

Fan death is somehow pretty well accepted as a fact over there, with the Korean government even backing the myth.

Wrong. They're food in bread, therefore sandwiches.

Burritos are nothing but a subset of wraps, which according to wikipedia are a sandwich alternative.

— Ah, thank you Euthyphro, now I feel we are getting somewhere. Truly, now I think I understand. If a sandwich is something edible in between two pieces of bread, with the whole composed in such a way as to be easily held within the two hands, then obviously three pieces of bread, held together in the hands, is a sandwich.
— I do not see what you mean, Socrates. Surely a stack of pieces of bread is simply a loaf of bread, as any man knows.
— Now Euthyphro, you seem to be teasing me again, for look, here is a piece of edible bread, placed in between two other pieces of bread, the whole of which, you must agree, I hold quite easily in my hands, withered and shaking though they may be.
— Well Socrates, it is true, now that I think on it, that these three pieces of bread do in fact ascribe to my earlier definition. And yet, anyone could tell you that this is not a sandwich.

A cat-lover made a 300 mile trip while on honeymoon to see a famous train station cat - only to be turned away and told she was taking a nap.

...

“I went to the enquiries desk and they told me she was asleep. I said I’d come all this way on my honeymoon and I just wanted to see the cat. I was in tears - I was mortified.

“I said I know it’s a cat but I just wanted to see her. I had only just lost my own cat, Molly. I was distraught.
