Yeah, Eratosthenes already knew it was round.

What he did with the two sticks (and paying a guy to take a damn long walk) was measure it.

No need to split it, just bite into it.

On university computers, using Netscape Navigator, browsing the information superhighway (i.e., mostly Geocities) filtered through Yahoo and, as soon as I found it, AltaVista (whose user experience was much more similar to what Google's would be), and reading hardcore erotic stories between classes...

The World Wide Web has only gone downhill from there. It probably died around the time when the blink and marquee tags were deprecated, and we've been browsing it's dessicated corpse since then, like maggots on a carcass already way too rotten to provide any nourishment.

So, what you're saying is I can move to Ohio, open a sperm bank that charges $100 per deposit, and make a mint?

If they don't want eaten they shouldn't be flightless and taste citrusy. Darwin is a cruel but fair master.

Why would you need a spoon? It's all edible except the hard bit at one end (which is probably edible too, but too pointy to risk it) and the hairy bit at the other (which is almost certainly edible, but eww, hairy). The skin is where the vitamins are.

Just clean it to remove the insecticides and herbicides and whatnot, and bite chunks off the thing until only those two bits (and quite a lot of juice all over your fingers and mouth) are left...

We're not in the mid-twentieth century. Journalism hasn't been a thing for decades.

Because for 99% of the users it's useless inaccessible spam.

Banning anyone who posts inaccessible shit isn't a blanket rule, it's mere common sense.

If it's inaccessible it's spam, and spam is intolerable by definition.

Their domain expired, though.

Windows 2000 wasn't bad.
