However, it would not be appropriate to promote being dangerously overweight as being desirable.

We just call them battery-electric, not hybrid.

Doesn’t hybrid mean diesel-electric?

The transition from Etruscan to Roman Empire is called the Roman Republic.

Reply to Bananarama may not have been one of the most successful bands of the 1980s, but it certainly was one of the most 80s bands of the 1980s. by L0st_in_the_Stars
But they were one of the most successful bands of the 80s…
> Their success on both pop and dance charts saw them listed in the Guinness World Records for achieving the world's highest number of chart entries by an all-female group. Between 1982 and 2009, they had 30 singles reach the Top 50 of the UK Singles Chart.
They never had a UK #1, but Venus was a #1 in many other places.

There's about four different Latin words that sometimes get translated to "happy".

All Roman citizens had three names. Only slaves and foreigners would have fewer.

A lot of the time (including today) people don't really think about what their names mean, they're just names. And a lot of the older Roman names (Ceasar, Antony, Vincent) have no definite origin, but here goes:
Elephant of Light the Seventh Severe Pious Obstinate Majesty
Elephant of Mars the Golden Priceless Pious Lucky Majesty
People's Seventh Geta
Light's Conqueror the Pious
Rejoicing Strongman the Shy
Geta isn't Latin or Etruscan, but appears to refer to an ancient Romanian tribe.
Ordinal names (e.g. Seventh) were traditionally used for numbering siblings, not in the way we use Jr. or III today.

Spanish and Latin are different languages.
If you mean "cheerful, jolly", then the Latin is laetus.
If you mean "lucky, fortunate", then the Latin is felix.
If you mean "blessed, prosperous", then the Latin is beatus.
If you mean "rejoicing, celebrating" then the Latin is gaudiam.

Felix is more “lucky” than “happy”.

I think people trying to drive and use their phone at the same time are far more likely to drop the phone than passengers.

No, you put them in your bag in the locker, because you’re not allowed stuff in your pockets on rollercoasters.

You’re also not allowed phones (or any loose items) on rollercoasters.

That’s not the face value, that’s the bullion value.
