Rewind |

Did you know that children can be taught not to start brawls by using good parenting? Did you know that "Blackout" is a term for the time when an area loses its electrical power ; and it was made particularly famous during the intentional blackouts of World War 2 Britain, which were instituted to hide cities at night from German bombers by cutting off their power at night, thus making the ground appear blacked out? Did you know that "Blitzwing", although a reference to the blitzkrieg tactics of World War 2 Germany, could inspire children to read and learn more about the atrocities of war and thus find out that killing other people is in fact very very bad, especially when paired with parental guidance? Did you know that "Cliffjumper" is actually a reference to the Klipspringer, a type of tiny deer that lives in mountainous regions of southern Africa? Did you know that in inferno is the name for any type of large destructive fire, and can be encountered when reading about the heroic actions of fire-fighters?

Did you know that "block" in "Roadblock" is derived from the proto-indoeuropean root-word *bhelg' meaning plank or beam, while "black" derives from *bhleg meaning burning or soot? Did you know that Hasbro once had a character named "Slag" whose name was a British vulgar slang word for prostitute, but Hasbro finally realised their mistake the name was changed to "Slug"? Did you know that most concepts such as violence and drugs are best discussed with children by their own parents so that children are prepared to encounter them and respond to them properly later in life? Did you know that the Finnish term for an internet troll is "trolli", which is a risti-declension noun, and also what you are performing as fabulously? |

Cops in Utah should know what lewdness means before charging anyone with it
Someone I know got charged with lewdness even though they made sure to pick a very remote spot in a parking lot to have sex with their partner in.

Apparently someone somehow saw them having sex in a car and h...
