Fun fact 3: In the process of writing it, Newton invented calculus. Around the same time, Leibniz also invented calculus. Years later they ended up in a court battle, over basically who had the copyright for calculus. But by then, Newton was rich and famous, and got himself appointed judge! After this, British mathematicians used Newton's system, everyone else used Leibniz's, and thus, as my professor put it, "the British mathematicians accompliced absolutely nothing for the next hundred years".
Fun fact 2: Newton had to rewrite the book a *second* time. The first rewrite used formulas and mathematical symbols, just like we do today, but back then everyone did maths using long words in Latin, so they didn't get it. He had to make another version, using long words in Latin. Fortunately the first rewrite is still preserved, and much easier to read today.
There's much more fun to this story! I've given lectures about it a couple of times. Fun fact 1: How did Halley get the money to publish? He inherited, after his dad (a soap mechant) was found dead floating down the Thames wearing nothing but seven socks. The son was suspected of killing him, but acquitted.
Colourblind in the mouth, I guess?
#2 yes I can misspell it
How it ends? Doesn't it end with, like... the apocalypse?
Please try your best to be nice to ex-fascists. That way, more fascists will become ex.
Definitely not.
Hold on, does he actually like this one?
#27 Fun fact: "kraken" is a Scandinavian word meaning roughly "the sorry little bastard". Like, if you see a really wet cat or something, you might say "oh man, poor kraken!" Not really that scary a word if you speak Scandinavian.
As long as everyone remembers how to spell "communities". Ikea did nothing wrong.

My primary school teacher did not like when I corrected her. I told her the proper English translation of "det blåser" is "it's windy", rather than her answer "it blows".
I don't that's what it means. I would say it means "awake (metaphorically); aware of social issues". But the point still stands.
That's what I was wondering too!
People say this like it's a joke, but yeah, of course the conservatives back then were opposed to rebelling against the king.
As we say in judo: Gotta love the cock!
"Ambassador", is that a fancy word for "appears in ads"?
I'm actually warm right now because of a fire. Probably also invented by a black woman, but a bit further back.
Maybe I'm biased, but... I don't think fantasizing about a Carribean island makes you a child rapist. It's embarrassing to be in those files, but let's maybe not behead Chomsky just yet.
No, quite a few others can too. https://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/peace/
#14 Poirot wouldn't, because he's a dick. Christie said so herself.
Reminds me of a story from a book in the 60s, "The tale of the bus driver who thought what the heck". Maybe he'd read it.
I think I own around 25 vibrators. And I'm a man. Am I extreme?
#34 Hold up now. If a chicken embryo is in an egg inside a non-chicken, surely that's a chicken egg. Surely it's the inside and not the outside of the egg that defines the type of egg. The eggs in my fridge are of the chicken species, not the fridge species. I know this may be something of an academic discussion, but then I am something of an academic.
I know this is kind of beside the point, but "nearly half a dozen" is an overly complicated way to say "five".
So higher taxes are cool now?
#9 Kudos for using an actual Swedish word as an Ikea example. Slightly less kudos since Ikea's Vänskaplig is a set of textiles. Also, if you remove the dots, it goes from meaning "friendly" to "misshapen".
#5 I'm mostly annoyed that the book says "learn to pronounce", which is presumably meant to be a link.
