A Shaky Future?

You've missed a long, dramatic collapse. Be glad you have!
Yeah, I've had that thought over the years: How I would have done in the new, late-age whatever-it-is that passes for journalism. I think it wouldn't have much resembled the Bogart/Hepburn movies that so captured my very young imagination. I could see myself on the phone yelling, Get me rewrite!
Heh!

Reality is less glamorous, more... I dunno, dumb, and people dress much more shabbily.
That last might be just me, but I don't think so.

Nah. Bogie would never have rocked the flannel pants.

Look, that picture shows the wrong way to drink from your enemies' skulls.
It should be obvious to even the village idiots that you cannot drink from the lower eyes/nose/mouth part of the skull -- liquid will just flow out of the eyes/nose/mouth holes so you cannot fill that part of the skull to drink from to begin with.
Use the upper, above the eye holes, part of the skull. -
@Axtremus correct but not exactly
The mouth and nose and eyes don’t open directly into the skull. But in the base of the skull are numerous foramina (small holes) to allow passage of nerves and blood vessels in and out. So yes it would leak but not through a large orbit or open mouth.

Interesting, I looked up the skull’s structure in the “Complete Anatomy” app and I see what you mean. Thanks.
