When I was a kid, I thought those pillars went down to the sea floor.
In reality, they usually go down to some large submerged floats.
I dislike this.
Pillars and floats like that are pretty stable, compared to regular boats, so there’s even a research vessel, called FLIP, that purposefully capsizes itself to be more steady when conducting research.
You know what, fuck you [capsizes your research vessel to make it more steady when conducting research]
my god when lorde said “it got hard to grow up with your cool hand around my neck” and “every perfect summer’s gotta say goodnight” and “spend all the evenings you can with the people who raised you, because all the times they will change, it’ll all come around” and
thor 4 press tour is gonna be interesting to observe with taika waititi still coming off the high of ofmd being the most in-demand show for weeks and chris pratt sitting next to him seething homophobically like he’s living in izzy hands’ worst timeline
So I was thinking about how it’s pretty thoroughly established that Frenchie can’t read or write, but then we get to episode 4 and he a) identifies the party invitation and b) writes receipts as part of the pyramid scheme. The first one could be explained by what little we know of his background – he knows what a fancy party invitation looks like – but what about the receipts? I’ll admit, the possibility that Frenchie lied about his literacy level in order to avoid getting stuck with Lucius’ job was veryfunny to me, but I went back and looked and no:
No, he just drew pictures again. Which, first off, incredible, love that, but it does kind of make me wonder how he got away with it and the only thing I can think of is that he. That he told them the receipts were written in hieroglyphs.
And presumably a bunch of aristocrats were like “that sounds fake but I definitely don’t know enough about Egypt to dispute it, one half a pyramid please.”
