Every place on earth (assuming cloudless days and line of site (no mountains, etc.)) get the same hours of sunlight over the course of the year.

Interesting, and not necessarily obvious.

@George-K that was cool.

I thought so, too. I’ve always wondered about the “filmed live before a studio audience” sitcoms about how much the cameras and crew interfere with the visibility. Anybody here ever sit in one of those audiences?

Oddly fun to watch

Blowing smoke up your ass was an actual medical procedure in 18th-century England. Before doctors invented a long tube to keep their faces away, they used a standard smoking pipe to perform the procedure.

The balls...

The Ardblair Stones is a strength feat, where nine reinforced concrete lifting stones of ascending weight are used.[1][2] The 9 stones weigh 18 kg (40 lb), 32 kg (71 lb), 41 kg (90 lb), 50 kg (110 lb), 75 kg (165 lb), 107 kg (236 lb), 118 kg (260 lb), 135 kg (298 lb) and 152 kg (335 lb) respectively.[3] The goal of the competition is to lift each stone sequentially from smallest to largest and place them on top of 4 ft 4 in (52 in) whiskey barrels as quickly as possible. The stones are named for Ardblair Castle located in Blairgowrie, Perthshire in Scotland, close to where they originated.
