@Pro_Tradings You need to understand it’s to keep people from getting above themselves and to discourage ambition and hard work

@ronmanagernottm I never understood why Magnus Magnusson wasn’t on the lid.

@WorkElizab 10% absolutely. 20% fine but 40% tip? The service would need to have been exceptional to warrant that. Really? You expect - ~$38 for writing a few things down and carrying 4 dishes and glasses to the table. Nice work if you can get it.

@lorraineelizab6 The idea for Gulliver lying like a giant there was supposed to be inspired by the view of cave hill above Belfast. Swift used to ride there when he lived in Carrickfergus. The outline of the hill resembles a sleeping giant and today is called “Napoleon’s Nose”

@RGeirsson In at least One of the medieval Icelandic sagas Norwegian characters refer to Icelanders as something like “sausage munchers” - in a derogatory sense

@elonmusk If you read the actual medieval tales of Robin Hood you find he did a lot of robbing from the rich, especially the Church, and kept it. There was no giving to the poor. Today he’d be called a gangster
