No dress rehearsal today, it’s the stage manager’s nap time, go practice your lines for a few hours.

Bless you for sharing this.

Thought it was pretty funny when the name of the company was mentioned - I work for a company with almost the same name, just a letter off. That show struck a little close to home.

Young kitty, you don’t get to look at me like that until you pay rent and buy groceries.

Thankfully there’s an entire field of linguistics that’s already done the work. Quick Google search shows 22 Latin descendant languages, and 24 Germanic descendant languages. So slightly more, yeah.

Romanian, Catalan, Sicilian, Galician, Venetian, probably a number of other dialects, are also Latin descendants.

Poor bird. That imprint is almost cartoonish, lol. Glad the lil dude’s going to be ok, though.

On an unrelated note, “factoids” are things commonly believed to be true, but actually aren’t. I guess you could say factoids are factoids!

Sounds like a storage medium to add to the Hard drives we don’t want or need list.
