TIL: Today I Learned

[James Stuart]

You enjoy being arrogant, overfed, lazy, and uncharitable, as per Ezekiel 16:49?

Absolutely. Who doesn't?

Also, buttsex.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Hate to ruin your parade, but buttsex usually also leads to colon cancer. Unless thy God himself blessed you, it is impossible to avoid this fate.

Not my colon. And that isn't true anyway.

But 100% of all Aussie beer ads I've seen had girls in bikinis.

You haven't seen the one with medieval monks then?

I prefer big ads myself. Bloody big ads.

Okay, I'm back as a wannabe sodomite.

Dude, sodomy is great fun. Especially with women that hot.

I've known that for years. Apparently you're meant to ask first.

There certainly can be, but they can also occur without a trigger.

 

[Arakhor]

Things like that carry the fancy medical term "idiopathic", i.e. suffering brought on by the self. Pneumathoraces can be similarly idiopathic, especially when occurring in relatively tall and skinny people.

Your definition of idiopathic seems to fit the origin of the word, but in medicine it basicly means "unknown origin". This is different from spontaneous, which means known (or thought) not to have a cause.

 

[Arakhor]

I am absolutely not a doctor, but there's very little practical difference between 'unknown origin' and 'thought not to have a cause'.

Of course, but it isn't exactly a symmetric situation. I generally assumed only one of the positions was liable to have reservations.

That's why you make it a fait accompli. Only Nixon can go to China, and all that.

Now I have.

That's pretty good

Is it only me, or the text goes as "This is an ad!" "This is a very big ad!"? Did Google accidentally put subtitles that say obvious stuff? Would it say on the trailer for The Amazing Spiderman 3 "This movie will blow"?

 

[Borachio]

The monks are actually singing "It's a big ad" to the tune of Carmina Burana. I don't know why it's got captions saying exactly that. Maybe for the hard of hearing?


Link to video.

There was a parody on a British Airways advert with the same tune. And the words "They've lost your bags".

Was it this one?


Link to video.

Dunno. I've confused myself now. That might not actually be Fortuno.

 

[gay_Aleks]

It's even more ridiculous due to the fact that I have no sound to this video. Happens quite often with Youtube.
