Climax Saskatchewan.
Curious about this place.
Apparently there are 131 versions of the song “I’ve Been Everywhere”. Where’s the one with all the “dirty” place names?
I’ve seen public hair.
That was the banking firm.
Everyone with little kids knows about the TV show Bluey. A fan theory that has been confirmed as canon is that Chilli Heeler had a miscarriage. Add to that that a later episode that has her sister Brandy as infertile which was based on red heelers having fertility issues in real life. Yes it is a kids’ show.
Ah, the wonders of one-sixth gee…
TIL that Dr. Benjamin Spock, the ‘baby doctor’, won an Olympic gold medal in rowing in 1924.
Today I learned that worms (a nematode, specifically) can revive after spending 46,000 YEARS frozen:
Named after Climax, Minnesota.
There is also a Climax, Michigan, which is about 60 miles west of Hell.
We have a Stoner Dr in the county I work for. Street sign get stollen a lot.
The reminds me of a mile marker that Colorado had to tweak slightly.
Hahaha. That’s right. But hey, almost time to fire up!
I had an e-mail address at stoner.com a couple decades ago. It wasn’t as much fun as it sounds.
I don’t think people generally realize just how many vineyards there are in the UK. Take my home county of Sussex, for example (strictly two counties there days, East and West Sussex). Broadly speaking, South of London, and stretching from the sea about half way to the capital (handy map).
According to this article in the Guardian Sussex is currently home to 138 vineyards (!). Which kinds begs the question, how many in the country, then? And the answer to that is, weeeellll… it seems to depend on who you ask. But this web page has enough detail to come over as reasonably persuasive:
Surprising, eh?

That’s nuttier than a fruitcake.
A long time ago, I heard that some people in the UK didn’t rinse their dishes after washing them. They’d put the dishes away with the soapy film on them. Years later, I asked a UK native and he grudgingly confirmed it (the “grudging” part of his reaction made me think it might be true). I think he said that it was a habit some people acquired during/after WWII and that very few people, if any, still did it today.
Just before posting this, I had a look online and found that the subject has been discussed on a forum of The Guardian. Some posters confirm it and others have never heard of it.
I can confirm that this happens in my household. I rinse, but I think I also use more soap than my spouse when I wash dishes.
It’s been covered here as well. Just another bit of their frequently odd behavior.
