Things I learned today (Part 2)

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

From yesterday

1. It gets dark very quickly and early in Harare
2. It’s scary as fcuk when you’re out for a run and lost and it’s dark and, well, you’re white
3. You breathe in more dust than you do good by taking exercise.
4. Harare is at 1500m altitude which is unpleasant enough running in without trying to run quickly as you can down unlit pavementless roads with cars everywhere because you’re convinced you’ll be a newspaper paragraph shortly.

I like how your awareness that what you are doing is stupid, couples with your inability to stop yourself doing that stupid thing

Fair play to him

You can thank Moses for that

@Kyle

Would the bull meat then be given to the poor or would the lord who invariably owned it have used it to feed his hounds while the locals stood there salivating?

Back then they thought the meat tasted better if the bull had been baited.

[Locke]

There would have to be some, don’t think the entire population of Kilkenny in 1841 was Jewish, no.
