Whenever I hear people saying this, I always think of that guy who put chili powder and mint into his mouth at the same time.

Yes, it sounds like it should cancel out. No, in reality it definitely doesn't.

I second this. I've never played or painted, but I'm fascinated by the universe, and it is LONG. I'm just now finishing the prequel series (the Horus Heresy) which is over 50 books long (and some extra short stories). The main universe has 500 or something books.

I listen to audiobooks on the way to work, and used to do the same on the way to school, so I go through books very quickly.

if someone said there electic-lights were low, I would offer them my lamp to sun with.

Not sure if typo or a great pun, but a lamp is a good idea for someone lacking electric lights.

I still don't understand why a person's pension is in any way related to their place of employment.

The thing about corruption is that it's very inefficient. Spending a trillion dollars on weapons translates to only a couple of billions in the pockets of profiteers, the rest is used to actually make the weapons, move them in place, and to pay the people using them.

So with a useless war, you waste far more than you would if you just have the money to the profiteers.

If course not, it's to apply for a job. It's a WORK API.

Not the whole France, but Paris certainly did in 1871.

He is forced into it by Gondor and Rohan encroaching on his borders. The elves totally made an unwritten and unsigned promise to Morgoth that they would never expand their alliance (that somehow nobody except Sauron remembers).

By the way, there were Elvish soldiers present at Helm's deep. This is proof that the Elves are fueling this war at the cost of millions of human lives. The people of Gondor love Mordor and yearn to join it, but the Elves staged a coup and are now forcing its people into war.

France never experienced communism?

This particular ship does. It's essentially a giant ferry that new cars are driven on to, not loaded.
