Yeah, it's just the way it's written.

Storyline[edit]
The films sees some of the greatest martial arts action performed in a scene featuring Richard Norton, Cynthia Rothrock and a very youthful Andy Lau. Norton also shows off his great skill in using weapons, much to the annoyance of both Rothrock and Lau.

Locals favored the explanation that the meat was vomited up by buzzards (vultures), "who, as is their custom, seeing one of their companions disgorge himself, immediately followed suit."[5]

Thicknesse died on one such journey near Boulogne, Pas-de-Calais, France, and was buried in this town. In his later life he had become an "ornamental hermit".

In his will he stipulated that his right hand be cut off, and that it should be delivered to his son, George, who was inattentive. The will stated that the reason was "to remind him of his duty to God after having so long abandoned the duty he owed to a father, who once so affectionately loved him."

The album also featured long-time collaborator Phil Perry for the first time, on the track "If I'm Dreaming, Don't Wake Me", a song also featuring David Foster and Maurice White who played wicked good (prove it?) on the recording.

When planetary scientists began to have a need to discuss Venus in detail, an adjective was needed. Based on Latin principles, the correct adjectival form of the name would be Venerean. However, this term has an unfortunate similarity to the word venereal as in venereal diseases (related to "Venerean" as martial is to "Martian"), and is not generally used by astronomers.[1] The term Venusian is etymologically messy (similar to saying "Earthian" or "Jupiterian"), and a "cleaner" version was desired.

A common theme in art, The Birth of Venus is shown in this 1879 painting by William-Adolphe Bouguereau.
It was suggested that since Venus had a Greek name, as well as a Roman one, this should be used; however, the adjectival form of Aphrodite was "aphrodisial", which again was felt to be unfortunately close to "aphrodisiac", again evoking matters not directly pertaining to astronomy.

A compromise was reached. In Greek mythology, the goddess Aphrodite was said to have been born from the sea, from which she emerged on a sea shell at the island of Cythera, and as such was sometimes known as Cytherea.[2] The adjective Cytherean was taken from this name and remained popular in scientific literature for some time. Its perhaps forgotten usage in 18th century erotica[3] did not interfere with this choice.

The term has since fallen out of common use. Venusian is the form most frequently used, with others, including Venerean appearing from time to time;[4] the term Cytherean is now mostly found in older scientific papers, but some scientists still stick to the "tasteful" naming.[5] In addition, the word "Cytherean" as an adjective referring to Venus is often found in science fiction of the early and mid 20th century.[citation needed]

I guess all this Venerean people were purposefully being Venusian Blind.

Amid all the disagreement resulting from differences within sources, two factors emerge from all sources pertaining to Socrates. It would seem, therefore, that he was ugly, and that Socrates had a brilliant intellect

The Santa emoji had a frown on Android 4.4, which was resolved in Android 5.0 after a bug report was filed.

The cycle's inordinate length when (as was intended to be possible) it is played together, 22 hours, rendered the 9-hour Illuminatus! a mere bagatelle by comparison.

poor Socrates

The initial writing of the scene had the maggot only stripping and consuming a topless Dameia, but producer Roger Corman had promised financial backers of the movie a sex scene involving O’Connell, so he merged the two ideas together.

That's not even the most unusual detail in Ken Campbell's wiki entry. There's a few to choose from , but how about:

....each set change the entire audience was wafted 1/2000th-of-an-inch above the floor aboard an industrial hovercraft

That's not Neil Oram's "The Warp" then?

Yes, the 22 hours cycle is referring to the Warp.

I wish i'd seen, or at least dipped into, the 1999 Warp revival, directed by Ken Campbell's daughter:

"the first groundbreaking collaboration with rave organisers Megatripolis was let loose, with the performance in one space whilst a 24-hour rave went on elsewhere in the so-called "Millennium Drome" beneath the arches of London Bridge railway terminus."

I enjoyed her Illuminatus! play in 2014, which featured some of the old (90s) Warp cast.

In June 1983, the Romney family left their Belmont, Massachusetts home on their way to Romney's parents' cottage in Beach O'Pines, Ontario for an annual vacation along the shore of Lake Huron. Seamus rode in a carrier on the roof of the family's Chevrolet Caprice station wagon for the 12 hour trip. Romney had built a windshield for the carrier to make the ride more comfortable for the dog. During the 650-mile (1,050 km) trip, Seamus got diarrhea. Romney stopped at a gas station to wash the dog, the carrier and the car. With Seamus back in the carrier, the family continued on their way.

those last three sentences are stunning

When this design was revealed on the shortlist, the public immediately nicknamed it "Hypnoflag" and "Monkey Butt" via social media.[45][46]

Unfortunately the only mention of 'Seamus' in Mitt Romney's wiki is a link in the references section to this.

Sometime during a 12-hour drive from Boston to Canada in 1983, Mitt’s oldest son, Tagg, noticed a brown liquid running down the rear window of the family station wagon.

In 1963, when the song was debuted to a British audience on the BBC television show Juke Box Jury, the celebrity guest John Lennon voted the song "a miss" stating on the new song that Elvis Presley was "like Bing Crosby now". The song went on to reach number 1 in the UK for a single week.

This album has been incorrectly cited as being recorded digitally into Pro Tools.[citation needed] This album was recorded to a Studer A800 mkIII @ 30ips on BASF/Emtec 900 tape at +6/250 nanowebers per meter. Pro Tools was used solely for editing of specific tracks and was thus used very sparingly. Whatever work was done in Pro Tools was flown right back to the 2-inch (51 mm) masters. It was mixed from the 2-inch (51 mm) masters to an Ampex ATR-102 1-inch 2-track customized by Mark Spitz at ATR Services.[citation needed]

In an interview conducted by Alan Jackson for The Times Magazine in 2001, before the album was released, Dylan said "these so-called connoisseurs of Bob Dylan music... I don't feel they know a thing, or have any inkling of who I am and what I'm about. I know they think they do, and yet it's ludicrous, it's humorous, and sad. That such people have spent so much of their time thinking about who? Me? Get a life, please. It's not something any one person should do about another. You're not serving your own life well. You’re wasting your life."

In addition to writing, Conroy was an accomplished jazz pianist, winning a Grammy Award in 1986 for liner notes.

Witchery also have their own heavy metal salute, a derivation from the original Sign of the horns "Evil Eye" ward popularized by Ronnie James Dio called "The W". For properly "doing the W" only the ring finger and thumb of the performing hand touch. Rumour has it that the salute came into being as somebody in the band tried to do the metal salute with a cigarette between his fingers. This "W" is not to be confused with the Shocker.

Blanck Mass is a British electronic solo project by Benjamin John Power, one of the founding members of drone band Fuck Buttons.[1] His track "Sundowner" was used at key points during the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Olympic games.[2] It was first heard as the Union Flag was brought into the stadium by members of the Armed Forces. Later it was played when the Olympic Flag was paraded, and finally as the Olympic Flame was brought to the stadium in a speedboat.

The cover image was not inspired by a guy who fell asleep in the bread aisle from taking Tylenol PM, there isn't even a citation. Will we ever know exactly? Probably not, but lets be real, Asleep In the Bread Isle, is a title about money, bread means money. Roth is Asleep in the Money Isle, living the life, get it?

Large exporters and manufacturers use warehouses as distribution points for developing retail outlets in a particular region or country. This concept reduces end cost to the consumer and enhances the production sale ratio.

Cross docking is a specialised type of distribution center (DC) in that little or no inventory is stored and product is received, processed (if needed) and shipped within a short timeframe. As in warehousing, there are different types of cross docks.

Reverse logistics is another type of warehousing that has become popular for environmental reasons. The term refers to items that are going from the end user back to the distributor or manufacturer.

Another modern trend is for warehouses is raving.

Send sympathy to Stewart Lee, I had a similar (but not the same) thing.
