Eh? Strippen en je natte kleding achter laten of zo? Iedere reis nieuwe paraplu in de vuilnisbak? Want mensen stappen over het algemeen niet nat in de auto als ze recht uit huis komen volgens mij...

Unfortunately, the church authorities did take offence. A memorial stone was installed in 1999 to remember the men who were executed.

Terry Jones was a medieval historian. The jokes in that movie are solidly founded in actual history.

When the nave of the Utrecht Dom collapsed in a once-in-a-millennium storm in 1674, the city was so depressed (and presumably depleted of funds) that they did not clear the rubble until 1826. The piles of abandoned stone were a favourite and well known meeting place for gay men in the meantime.

But would the munition not have been less unstable, or was that a problem from the start? That can only ever get worse, I imagine

Is there a particular reason it wasn't cleared before? I get they were kind of busy just after the war, but there must have been some golden moment between 'too much vital infrastructure still down' and 'if we look at it the wrong way it'll take out a burrough or two'? Just ostrich tactics?

And that's important, because she was a working scientist with agency of her own and she collaborated willingly with so much more of that work than is usually mentioned.
Both by Watson AND his critics.
Franklin was a great scientist. Don't sell her short.

That one came from the 'aspiring supervillain on a tight budget' catalogue. The 'made in sweatshop' feature is an advertised plus. They only had the too big sizes left on the shelves, but he figured his ego would fill up the excess.

Mensen die tobben met hun gewicht zijn de hele dag bezig in hun hoofd met eten-niet eten-wat eten-schuldig over eten etc. Ik heb vaker gehoord dat juist het niet de hele dag mentaal bezig zijn met eten door geen honger gevoel dat het grootste verschil maakt, meer nog dan het fysieke effect.

The line lights up at night, and if it has recently rained, it steams. Not sure if that was intentional or a side effect, but it is certainly interesting to see.

In the Netherlands too. There is not a lot of empty property around, not housing anyway, and there are even laws to keep the investors in check, but there are simply not enough houses. Decades of failed 'the market will automatically solve it' neo liberalism to thank for that.

They put in a formal request to the UN, so that is its formal name there now. It is not that different from Peking becoming Beijing or Bombay becoming Mumbai. The reason is that Türkiye means 'land of the Turks', and a Turkey is large ungainly bird from another continent that makes weird noises.

Tiles drying in the sun get no respect from cats or dogs. These are in Utrecht, the Netherlands, DOMunder museum, though found in situ in the Roman fort, not after a journey around the world.

Only a select part of the population, and not the functional part. It's more an act for the tourists than an actual thing.
