I know right? Kids don't need any reason to carve penises onto desks and tables and walls. They just do.

One of the older toilets used in a couple of the old school buildings (demolished for a newer one after I graduated) was permanently closed because it became so full of shit.

It was a toilet on a separate building, that was used for a couple of old buildings (one from the 1930's if the local oral history is to be believed), and another one from the 1970's. The stench was so unberable that the classrooms near it were also abandoned.

Oh, the school wasn't infamous for that. I think, pushing shit aside, it's so wonderfully mediocre that it didn't really have anything it was famous or infamous for.

No problem. I understand the skepticism here, especially since the article in the OP is a bit light on the details.

EDIT:

Details on the OP article is fine enough, but it didn't link sources.

Here's the conversation that was linked on the reddit thread about the incident: https://gemini.google.com/share/6d141b742a13

I use Anki to keep my French and Japanese from deteriorating any further. Why those langauges? For Japanese, it's the usual answer: anime and manga. For French, I had to learn it in school and I just don't want to let it be forgotten.

A good number of the decks I use for language learning, I made for myself. Those that I've gotten from AnkiWeb were already gone, but here's some similar ones:

• French Sentences — a collection of French sentences, sorted from easiest (most simple) to hardest (most complex). This deck begins with very simple sentences, and slowly gets harder as you progress.

  I'm pretty sure this is an exact, if not a close copy of the one I got a while back.

• Dictionary of Japanese Grammar - DoJG — a deck made from the entries of “Dictionary of Japanese Grammar” (basic to advanced).

  My copy of this deck has undergone significant changes in card design (and function, like showing a random selection of the example sentences), but this one should be similar.

• Core 2k/6k Japanese Vocab — likely one of the copies of the various Core 2/6k Japanese Vocabulary decks that were recommended to me back when I started. The description I managed to find for my copy of the deck has this description:

  Using vocabulary and sentences derived from Smart.FM Core 2k and 6k and sorted by Cangy's program via 2001.Kanji.Odyssey kanji order. This detailed deck is designed so each new card contains the minimum amount of new kanji (and by proxy new words) creating an optimal i+1 learning environment.

I think if not fleshed out in the mythology being used in the setting, it's in the DM's prerogative. If I were DM, I'd say the Phoenix has to actually die before it can respawn.

Slicing off a Phoenix's wings will just result in an injured and very pissed-off Phoenix.

Moreover, I'd stipulate that whatever Phoenix parts (butchered, raw, or cooked, or even partly-digested) would disappear whenever that Phoenix respawns. And for a spicy twist: someone who digests any part of a Phoenix will have a psychic link to the Phoenix. Wisdom check after every long rest (three days after ingesting the Phoenix) to determine whether or not the person retains control of their body. Failing this wisdom check thrice in a row results in the Phoenix gaining complete control. Succeeding this wisdom check thrice in a row results in the person regaining complete control of their own body.

EDIT:

Thinking about this more, I think this can be fleshed out even more. There is only one Phoenix, which was eaten by a bunch of people believing eating it would result in gaining whatever powers the Phoenix originally had, maybe being impervious to fire. However, the Phoenix took over their bodies instead. Many many many years later, the Phoenix never really dies: it just choose a body it controls, and transforms it to "its original body". Thus, now, the Phoenix is known for its "immortality".

The problem with ingesting Zeus is that I'd have a good chance (nearly 100% based on my Greek mythology knowledge) I'd end up being pregnant and incurring Hera's wrath, or being whisked to Olympus as his winebearer... or both!

I've actually tried that once, but the Jesus wafer ended up real soggy.

Charcoal grilled phoenix might be good! Maybe basted in some really hot chili sauce? Or maybe even as simple as a soy sauce based baste. Keeping the phoeinix moist with some basting liquid is probably a good way to keep it from burning.

I don't mind a deep-fried baby Phoenix tho.

Jesus wafers with grape jelly is something I'd definitely snack on.

If your installation process lasts for more than four hours, better consult your disk doctor.

Heck, I'd probably be a repeat customer and have them help me rice my Linux install.

Who's got time for sex when there's ricing to be done!
