TV’s and plumbing are still measured in inches in the UK, the measuring system was already in place when we went metric and it was what people were used to. Plumbing fittings are as you said now rounded off to millimetres etc. but the actual physical size is still the same as the original imperial. For example what is referred to as a 25mm fitting is actually one inch (25.4 mm).

Trendies, hipster chicken?

Snap! Can’t even put a new one in…

The O’s are I’s! Fiid? Feyeeyed?

There were no monkeys when dinosaurs existed, also more time elapsed between the stegosaurus in the back existing and the t rex and triceratops than between them and us.

The son is going to inherit the company, he’s clearly terrified and going to piss the whole thing up the wall within five years of being given the reins.

I probably got a pretty decent dose of lead due to licking my brushes in the eighties, little sets of paints in lead tubes.

I would imagine that at some point we went from highways agency signage that was made to a standard to outsourcing to the cheapest bidder. There is also a possibility that signs can’t be too rigid so they don’t cut vehicles in half?

Don’t worry about the quality of the paint, I grew up using cheap Chinese water paints and it was OK.

That’s alright, fusion is only ten years away!

Geese, ducks and chickens had all already evolved when the dinosaurs went extinct. They are all tough hombre.

Scavenging for food, digging up any available crops and planting for next year.

Alles klar.

ZX81, couldn’t afford games so learned to program, wrote little graphical adventures using a text map.

It’s just odd, anything ever made with a user interface since the 80’s has had a calculator app. Apple just remove features and charge more for something that is inherently similar to everything else they’ve ever done.

At least you’ve got a calculator app, ipads have never had one. Kind of ironic for a device that has more processing power than 1970’s supercomputers.

Britain bombed Dresden for three days, Germany used incendiary bombs in London, Coventry and Birmingham for three years.

That is a brilliant summation, well done!

The amount of acorns produced by oak trees varies from year to year, every few years they produce far more than the squirrel population can eat meaning many acorns are lost and can propagate. It’s called a mast year.

There’s also the fact that throughout the history of civilization we have to spend more time working to exist as population density increases. India 70 hour average working week, European cave man 20 hour working week, one mammoth is a lot of food.
