Marie Curie: “You know that shit’ll kill you, right?”

"You know

She could not know that, because it was discovered only when it was too late for her.

I'd kinda wanna ask the world's most famous artists what their opinion was on a machine that could convert words to images.

There are many people who have written lost works who I'd revive to ask them to reconstruct what was lost, such as Montezuma, Mani, and Hegesias.

The Mixtec leader Eight Deer Jaguar Paw ( Iya Nacuaa Teyusi Ñaña ). I want to know the story of his campaign from his perspective.

If you had time could you please show him a few YouTube vids on animals showing empathy and cooperation? I wonder if his brain would break or if he would go into denial.

Heratio Nelson were Vermonters always like you or were you still a ridiculously cartoonish Vermonter even by your time

I'm not sure whether I'm misunderstanding the person you're referring to, or misunderstanding the word "Vermonter".

The guys from the state of Vermont and was the first man to drive across the us using the time tested Vermont past time of making unreliable cars and making them reliable through sheer fricken will while also going on a ridiculous road trip for a 50 dollar bet for no reson I know 3 people like this all from Vermont and that's not even mentioning he turned down support from a corporation this man is in my opinion the most cartoonish extreme example of the stereotypical Vermonter the only way he could possibly be even more cartoonishly Vermontery is if he carried a keg of Vermont maple syrup with him the entire way hell after he arrived at new York he picked his wife up in the Vermont and took her to Vermont

Aha, thanks. I was confused because Horatio Nelson was an 18th-century British naval commander. I now learn that you're talking about a dude called Horatio Nelson Jackson, whom I hadn't previously heard of.
