To avoid confusion, from now on, anyone named "Claude" will now be referred to as "Steve".

You're welcome.

On a lighter note, it seems that Old Navy used to have really different standards for what constituted "loose fit jeans;" I recently bought two used sets of jeans of the exact same stated size and fit. One was loose as I expected, and the other, with a logo so ancient it looked like this:

wound up being bizarrely tight. And, yes, they're the same stated size and same stated (loose) fit.

There are more places in which you can buy alcohol in Warsaw alone than in entire Sweden. It's 7 times more to be exact.*

The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

Wikipedia has an article on a solar eclipse that’ll happen in 161 years. We know when and where its greatest point will be (several hundred miles off the coast of Brazil, about 12:20 PM local time) and we even know how long it will be down to the nearest hundredth of a second (7 minutes, 29.22 seconds), but it also points out, through a quote from a Vice article they cited, we don’t know if humanity will even be around to see it.

During the end of WWII, Mel Brooks’ battalion was tasked with clearing buildings that had been booby-trapped by German forces. Brooks’ job was to locate landmines, which were then defused by a specialist.

On a dissimilar note, Brooks also spent time in the stockade for smashing an anti-Semitic soldier over the head with his mess kit.
