Sorry - "literally" obviously typo. And I mean it too. A couple more inches and a piece of wood that shot through the wall would have impaled me.

I lived in Joplin MO for one year of my life.....the year an F5 decided to destroy the town with our neighbourhood at its epicenter. I barely escaped death, literary by inches. I don't wish an F5 on anyone.

Reply to comment by Jebediah_Johnson in TIL that when the French first arrived in North America they met the Ojibwe Indians who introduced them to other tribes but used nasty names. The Lakota/Dakota people were called "Nadowessiwag," which became Nadouessioux in French, then Sioux in English. It means "little snake." by marmorset
Fond du Lac means "bottom of the lake" in French. Not super appealing either.

Reply to TIL there are people in France who have actually done time in jail for stealing garden gnomes in the name of The Garden Gnome Liberation Front by Koivosto
I knew someone that stole Virgin Mary statues from garden shrines. Couldn't get behind that, seemed rather crass and cruel to the little old Italian grandmas.
