Once upon a time in the whimsical land of TerraNudge, there lived a young lad named Jack. Jack was known throughout the land for his quick wit, quirky humor, and an uncanny ability to trip over the most inconspicuous pebbles.
One day, while exploring the mysterious and slightly messy Crumble Canyon, Jack stumbled upon a peculiar patch of dirt. Little did he know, this wasn't ordinary dirt; it was the legendary Dirt of Enlightenment, renowned for its power to challenge and change those who dared to interact with it.
@PetəíŕdtheWizard Aah okay, but is that really offensive? Can't we be talking about sewage systems and how the pipes are used to reliably transport the dirty water from homes?
@user430580 nah, it's not offensive for me, @Глеб was just joking, methinks. :)

BTW, @user430580 did you know that my room description came from the even bigger brother? The last Shadow's Den room description change I could find, before it became Wizards Den. :P
About liquid waste disposal, did you know that in 2014, during a widespread clearout of the London sewer systems, one of the lines was clogged by half a car? They stated that it was in terrible condition, claiming it could be decades old.
BTW If you have fibre-optic broadband installed at home, then chances are it may be running through the sewers.
Internet providers will often use this existing network as it avoids unnecessary and disruptive building work.
So the next time you think about your internet connection, you may remember that this could be reaching you through a sewage system!
"Before the invention of modern day toilet paper, the human race used some pretty interesting things to do the job. Ancient Romans used a sponge on a stick that sat in saltwater. Let me be more clear… Everyone used the SAME SPONGE. Of course, leaves, rocks, and corn cobs were popular. Wealthy people used wool or lace."
@user430580 Penguin! In the TV show, he's driving inside the sewage system of Gotham. :D
(he's a minor villain in the Batman comics, who got a new TV show recently)
Well here we get the sewers clogged often with wet wipes, and they shout out to everyone to stop throwing them in toilet, to no avail because the wet wipes companies keep writing "safe to throw in toilet" as they know people would use it more this way.
One wipe won't matter, but when there are millions, they form huge islands which block whole sewer.
@ГлебTheWizard but better also tell it's from you, otherwise @Pet won't know if it's from you or me. ;)
@user430580 Hebrew, yeah. Israeli people speak Hebrew. ;)
That is because originally we were called "Hebrew People", in the Old Bible.
The original Old Bible was written in Hebrew, the language was pretty much lost over time, and revived pretty much only when Israel got announced as independent country again. (1948)
oh wait, on double checking it's wrong, it started before that.
The revival of the Hebrew language took place in Europe and the Levant region toward the end of the 19th century and into the 20th century, through which the language's usage changed from purely the sacred language of Judaism to a spoken and written language used for daily life among the Jews in Palestine, and later Israel. Eliezer Ben-Yehuda is often regarded as the "reviver of the Hebrew language" having been the first to raise the concept of reviving Hebrew and initiating a project known as the Ben-Yehuda Dictionary. The revitalization of Hebrew was then ultimately brought about by its usage...
But no doubt Israel being independent and home to the, well, Hebrew people, helped a lot.
Anyway, the above song is so successful because it's using "old Hebrew" which sounds as if it's from 1970 or so, making it appear as actual song from those years.
you know it's important to choose your soft drink wisely if you do that.... some people are ok with a coke for that purpose, others, well they just won't keep it clean without something like a PRIGAT bottle, if you see what I mean...
it would require a bit of research... for people who are not SW... (hint)
@Amit The punchline is: "What's the difference between a cat and a comma? One has claws at the end of its paws; the other is a pause at the end of a clause." (source)
