The comments are even more grim.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Guy Fawkes was motivated by his Catholicism. They burn an effigy of him all over England, not just one corner.

Was told by someone that you can get remunerated if you have a family member who's a coeliac. Just keep the receipts of what you buy. You ought to. 5 euro for a loaf of bread.

In Korea, if you rent a place to live it's ridiculously expensive so say a 1500 a month place here it would be 4,000 a month and you have to pay 2 years upfront!!! Wtf, but then after two years you'll get your money back. Basically the rental system is a lend of moneyConfused
It would damage this forums' reputation

Scott Eastwood (Clint's son) auditioned for the main character in American Sniper but didn't get the part. He then auditioned for another minor part in the movie and didn't get that either. He said Clint didn't like what he was seeing.

I wasn't aware of this. I know someone who has a much worse illness making them intolerant to a lot of foods and I was surprised to see there was no tax credits available for them.

Michelin tyres and the Michelin star for restaurants are the same company. Weird seeing the same mascot for the most prestigious restaurants.  

The Michelin brothers came up with a guide book to travel around visiting restaurants, basically so the tyres would get more use and you'd have to buy new ones.
