They started it in the early 20th century to compete with cities like New York that had one. They paved over a shipping canal to make the road Central Parkway and planned to use the now sealed tunnel for the system. They completed some tracks and a few stations but then between World War 1 and the mid 1920s they ran out of funds so they sealed it off and abandoned the project. They have to keep maintaining it though as it runs under a Main Street through the city so it remains the longest abandoned subway system in the world.
I have never seen that connection made. (Which isn’t to say it isn’t true.) Carmilla has been cited with compelling (to me) evidence. And I sorta think, though I cannot prove (yet) that some of the genuine pop trash of the time (like Varney the Vampire) was a big influence.
But OTOH way better than Lord Byron and Percy’s since they never finished.
Yes but you’ll upset either Canadian or Danish Marines by taking their booze. That’s one of the three ways to see a Canadian stop being polite, the other two are sending them off to war and putting a hockey stick in their hands. When that happens it’s not pretty.
As for the Danes, you’d be taking the booze that belongs to descendants of the Vikings. And they have access to landing craft.
Yep since it would also have that countries’ flag.
Speaking of murder there is a 50 square mile area inside Yellowstone National Park that for legal reasons you could commit a felony and not be prosecuted for it. As this includes murder the area is called the “zone of death”.
“Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth” originates from the famous Trojan Horse used by the Greek army during the Trojan War. Looking at the horse’s mouth would not have given the game away, as the secret doors were placed in the rear of the feet. The complete saying is actually “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth - the feet are where it’s at.”
Also this is 100% definitely a real fact which you can trust me on, and not one you need to go trying to verify before spreading around.
Or it is because when examining a horse when you are thinking of buying, you check their teeth because their condition is a good way of determining the horse’s health. So if someone was gifting you a horse it would be insulting to check out its teeth.
Or, your thing, one or the other.
