Cliff notes were a thing during my first run at undergrad... and certain professors took real joy in assigning books for which there were no Cliff notes.

Yeah... if they'd tried to accurately depict what a monster he was, the movie would have been about nothing else.

If I have a proper understanding of just what kind of creep Beria was, they soft-peddled his monstrosity.

The late father of a friend of my wife's used to be a ranger on Angel Island. He said that the difference between the smartest raccoon and the dumbest tourist was surprisingly small.

I used to work at a place where we warned to check under our desks and in our chairs before sitting down in the winter... because rattlesnakes would sneak into the buildings and curl up somewhere warm and soft. When it happened, the safety dept would capture the offending reptile and relocate it.

Electrical engineer here... you shouldn't put the mirror back, because it's against code (at least in the US, and probably elsewhere) to block access to a fuse box or breaker panel because they need to be easy to access in an emergency.

Most of the fridges I've owned had a position on the temperature control knob(s) that amounted to off, but it's not a feature I've ever used.

The closest I've been to that was about a dozen feet from a dead and intact minke... and I thought I kept smelling it for days. That shit fucking *sticks*.

Dead whales smell uniquely awful intact... honestly, putting it in the roof is the only part of this caper that makes a lick of sense.
