And airplanes. People used to smoke in airplanes.

Also it was a freaking huge industry to kill all the whales in the sea.

Once upon a time it was common to mine ice.

The world can be changed.

Would you believe that they had a smoking section on airplanes? That is, you could smoke in the back of the plane, but not forward of a certain row number.

Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?

One of the wildest aspects of this was that they did it from fucking rowboats. I've never understood why the whales didn't just leisurely swim away from that bullshit.

Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.
