The fact that people were still paying for 'professional' dowsing services as recently as 20 years ago says a lot too. Many people genuinely thought that wells needed to hit a specific spot to get water, the comprehension of how water tables work was certainly lacking.

I guess you couldn't have been an archer in ancient Rome.

Are you including the R&D costs? Best estimates I've seen for a mechzilla put labour and materials between 65-95 million USD

I thought it blew up because after tipping over the tanks ruptured - a normal result of a rocket tip-over. Am I mistaken?

I think you've got too many zeros on your price estimate, no? The tower is huge, but there's no way it costs five hundred million dollars.

Offering visitors a nes or SNES classic - which are recent, official, Nintendo products would be less embarrassing than using a windows PC.

Right?! This right here.

I was once yelled at by a friend of a girl for "ignoring her advances." I kid you not, the "advances" consisted of her walking up to me at a party, saying "hey, aren't you in my math class?" (To which I answered in the affirmative) and "well, um, I guess I'll see you there Monday!"

How the fuck was I supposed to know that was an attempt at flirting?

The older gay guy at work? "You're gorgeous. Ever consider dating a man?"

Depends on the region. Lots of places have 2nd degree murder for murders that perpetrated by someone who had intent but did not plan it, then use manslaughter for the death of someone which was not intentional but should have known that there was a probability of death occuring.

You mean assault with a deadly weapon?

Cursive was dropped because everyone uses computers and phones now, almost nobody bothers to write with a pen at all beyond signing their name on government or corporate documents
