Boxing Day!

December 26th

This holiday has some good roots to it.

On the day of Christmas, churches in England would have special services, which would also have charity boxes. Look at that.

On the next day, the churches would take that money and give it to the poor.

And here I thought it was the day to throw out all the boxes you got the day before. huh. Maybe nowadays they could parade around in their boxer shorts all day long. Kind of like the ride the subway without pants day that happened the other day. But everyone would go around in their boxers all day long, not just for the subway.

Yes but in anime/manga people can also fly and take 6+ gunshots before dying lol. Not the best comparison to RL.

Oh right....facts......early stages of the game Left 4 Dead featured a special infected called the Screamer. He was in a straightjacket and upon seeing the survivors would attempt to run off and if he escaped he would let out a loud scream, summoning the horde. His horde-summoning ability was later changed into the Boomer's vomit and bile attacks. Before that, the only thing the Boomer did was explode and do damage.

Penguins can turn salt water into fresh water. I didn;t know this until just the other day, oddly enough.

In some parts of Mexico it is illegal to sell things on the street. So vendors will make tables and such that can be easily folded away and slung over the shoulder so as to run away from patrolling policemen that would otherwise catch them.

The original composition of the theme from Bubble Bobble is in the key of B flat major (Ionian I), although the pickups and ideal hand position for the song on a piano is that of F major. The song might thus appear to an experienced musician to be in the key of F Major Mixolidian V, but is clearly in fact the B flat Lydian IV scale under further scrutiny.

I can. You just have to be double-jointed in your shoulder and have a relatively long neck and tongue, or just dislocate your shoulder and spin it around in its socket.
