When a lieutenant found out he was a comics artist, he made Kirby a scout who would advance into towns and draw reconnaissance maps and pictures, an extremely dangerous duty. by geekteam6

Not a clue. I doubt many people expected comics to become as endearing as they did in the 1940s. It was probably just pop culture landfill at the time, not expected to evolve and become a classic.

The Chelyabinsk impact was over ten times the ejected mass, 906 tonnes vs 12,000 tonnes. Even if all 906 tonnes hit at once in a single impact it would be nothing more than a bright fireball and maybe a boom loud enough to set off some car alarms

It would certainly be in small enough pieces that they would not pose a threat to us even if by some extremely bad luck they actually did hit the planet.

Titanic is about a woman who completely forgot about her husband of 50+ years and generations of descendants to spend her afterlife with a guy she had a three day fling with on a boat.

Something must have happened to the human species millenia ago that makes so many children afraid of monsters lurking beneath them while they sleep, like some ancient racial memory.

What do you only find in white people's houses?

What do libertarians and house cats have in common?

If your best friend drunk texted you, ranting about God's cruelty for giving him a micro-penis, how would/should you respond? Do you bring this conversation up when they're sober?
