You were indeed polite! That was never under scrutiny!
But my friend says they're not berries. Its a common misconception they are. Then again this is "boffin" level I'm talking about. This is a man who insists we should not call fish just "fish". There are so many creatures we just dump under the umbrella of fish its akin to calling all mammals "humans". Its that kind of mindset.

Car tyres are the only example that I have found that measure their height in inches, but their width and other measurements are in centimeters.
As for bicycles you can tell by that mountain bikes have their roots in America because they have inches on their tyre walls, where as road bikes have the European system, so that's how they are labeled 600c, 650c or 700c. |

"UK Overseas Territories are not recognised as Independent Countries"
I know that… my mother comes from one! Montserrat
Also because Montserrat was inhabited predominantly by Irish settlers… there are lots of people on the island that are eligible for both British and Irish passports, which came in very handy! |

If you swallowed enough semen/ saliva from a person you could transplant their organs to you and not reject them. |

Of a similar note, you can give someone with a Brazil nut allergy an allergic reaction through semen |

All Brazil nuts are organic. They are never farmed because it takes 150 years for a tree to start producing nuts. They all grow in the wild. |

Just Brazil nuts or all nuts ? I unfortunately once gave my sister in law a bad reaction by taking turns shaking a dice after I had eaten dry roasted peanuts. |

with that in mind, peanuts are not actually nuts, they are legumes |

I believe it’s just Brazil nuts. In your instance I imagine might have been some residue on your hands transferred onto the dice so it would have been like she’d touched them herself maybe? |

The brain often isn't returned after an autopsy. If it is it's shoved into the abdominal cavity alongside everything else that was removed.
Also whilst sea otters are cute, holding hands as couples etc.
They've also been seen rap-ing a seal pup for 90 mins until death.
They also hold each other's babies as hostages for food.
That's possibly even worse than dolphins and they are massive jerks. (A much lesser-unknown fact).

The whole concept of humans hunting and that it created male dominance hundreds of thousands or even millions of years ago is a myth. We were group power scavengers and gender inequality didn’t start until approx 5 thousand years ago. This is science backed up by lots of evidence - not theories. |

In Persia, before the mullahs and coups, gender equality had been the norm. They didn’t call it feminism or gender equality, it was just the norm. People took roles or jobs that served their communities best. My source, a friend who’s family escaped. |

It's questionable if there was ever true gender equality. There was a brief period in the 1960s, after women won the right to vote (1963), when things were fairly equitable but then the Islamic Revolution happened in 1979.

Interesting. I wonder how much of the equality in communities he talked about from before the white revolution was really because most people were equally oppressed and impoverished. |
