i like when you’re in the grocery store and you see people buying eggs because they always pick up the carton and then open it like it’s a metal briefcase full of cash involved in a drug deal and they’re confirming it’s money. “don’t bother counting it, it’s all there. 12.” then they always pick one up and inspect it like, “yeah, it’s grade A alright…the real deal.”
People are checking to see if any of the eggs are cracked you walnut
You get home with a case full of cracked eggs once and have to deal with the resulting mess in your grocery bags, and, trust me, you’ll start checking the eggs every time too.
“Sure you say it’s all there, but I been taken by a case of cracked eggs before. I don’t hand over the cash before I get a good look at the merchandise.”

Now you’ve done it. You invoked the words.
“I knew there was trouble as soon as I hit the floor. On a good day, the market is a thin veneer of friendliness concealing a pit of darkness. The dairy section is full of spoiled brats. The produce tries hard, but it’s impossible to eliminate the rot…and you know what they say about one bad apple. The eggs are cracked and broken, and all the King’s horses and all the King’s men couldn’t fix them.
I’ve been here a long time. I’ve learned to read the market as I walk the aisles. Smell the mood in the bakery section, feel the little things in the way the cookies crumble. The deli is a bellwether for the whole prepared foods section, if you know how to separate the good stuff from the gristle. But today, everything was silent.
The only thing worse than the market in full swing was the market in no swing. Something big was coming down.
I turned to my partner. Fresh out of Academy training, still wet behind the ears –or maybe he just walked too close to the misting sprays. ‘Trouble, kid,’ I said, taking a bite of the carrot stick dangling in my mouth.”

“average person eats 3 spiders a year” meme betrays poor data management. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, should not be discarded as an outlier. Spiders Georg data implies that the data set shows kurtosis and should be analyzed according to the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test.
The real reason Bruce Wayne keeps training kids is so that there’s eventually a gradually cascading order of vigilantes protecting Gotham. When you defeat one, there’s a slightly smaller one just behind, ready to pick up the slack.
Oh but it is!! These lovely screen shots are from Neko Samurai!!
Basically Dog-Gang hires dude above (Kyutaro) to kill Cat-Gang’s beloved Cat but the cat is too cute to kill and Kyutaro “accidentally” catnaps the cat and angers both gangs. It’s a wild ride.
Maybe Jesus didn’t like to talk about it because it wasn’t the same kind of car as his Dad’s.
Because as we all know, God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden in His Fury.
Nah, clearly God drives Dodge pickup trucks, because Moshe’s people are told not to approach the mountain “until the Ram’s horn sounds a long blast” -Exodus 19:13.
