@Cerberus Sounds like a country in Central Asia that Putin would like to invade (or re-invade--I'm not sure about Robustistan's history).

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Ha! You only get messages from proselytizers. I, on the other hand, just received correspondence from the Prince of Lesotho and a wealthy banker from Sierra Leone. I shall reply to them at once; I have no idea how these important people ended up in my spam folder.

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Bye! It's 1:20 here too, so I will be retiring to bed as well.

@Shog9 I am not on Christianity.SE, but closing such questions seems prudent. Firstly, it is a loaded question, as the question presupposes a certain belief is held by Christians. Secondly, by not attributing the claim to anyone, it makes the claim unfalsifiable, as the asker can just say that it is the belief of another arbitrary denomination if someone attempts to refute the claim. This applies to other religion SE sites as well.

Goodnight, everyone!

@Cerberus I should probably head to bed too. Καληνύχτα!

@JasonMarsh Wow. I'm guessing that morale isn't very good with that attitude.

@JasonMarsh Ow.

@JasonMarsh Who gets to ride in the boat? I'd volunteer to be that guy.

@JasonMarsh Can you transmit/receive while in the air? Maybe you get more range up there ;-)

@Cerberus Damn him to Tartarus for his blasphemy.

@JasonMarsh Awesome! Are you a paratrooper?

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 I wonder if ambrosia and nectar help with hangovers.

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 I agree with your theory of the Lego figurine representing an intoxicated Cerberus. Maybe it was after one of Dionysus's wild parties.

@JasonMarsh Yes, I enjoy mythology, especially Greek, Roman, and Egyptian.

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Interesting, I did not know that. Cerberus's profile image appears to depict the standard three heads, but maybe some additional noggins are hidden on the other side.

It seems that chthonic canines occasionally have extra heads.

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Orthrus (dicephalous)

@Cerberus Oh. At first I thought that the interlocking-brick figure of the dog was tricephalous. Upon further inspection, I noticed the extraneous heads.

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Speaking of Echo the nymph, maybe she was the one on the back of the Lego version of Cerberus.

@medica That sounds like an appropriate response; I can't think of anything else necessary.

@tchrist I also usually avoid human flesh, so kuru isn't an issue, either.

Most U.S. mayonnaise is primarily made with hydrogenated soybean oil, so I actually doubt if it needs refrigeration. Just stay away from any American potato salad though; it almost always seems to be a source of food poisoning (as well as oysters).

@Cerberus No, but I have heard apocryphal stories. Unopened mayonnaise is sold in supermarkets, but everyone in America refrigerates their mayonnaise after opening.

@tchrist BSE is one of the few diseases where the colloquial name is even scarier than the medical one.

@Cerberus It's worse than you think; I've seen five-year-olds with shotguns around here, and I think that they are "late learners" anyways.

@tchrist I'm vegetarian, so I avoid the infected beef too.

@tchrist Usually caused by poorly refrigerated mayonnaise. Notice a correlation?

@tchrist E. coli, or if you're lucky, bovine spongiform encephalopathy prions. Yum!

@Cerberus The Netherlands: Putting the salmonella back in salmon.

@tchrist But rugged miners are accustomed to profanity.

@Cerberus Tell that to the people dying of asbestos-related mesothelioma, the bird populations that were decimated by DDT, and the children who got poisoned by lead pipes.

@tchrist Incidentally, in an attempt to cool down a hard-boiled egg quickly, I once stuck it in the freezer temporarily, but then forgot about it. The next day I thawed it and tried to eat it. Let me just say that there is a good reason that nobody freezes eggs.

@Cerberus Do the Dutch enjoy fermented foods?

My house is at approx. 25 deg centigrade, although the thermostat is off.

My family probably uses about two liters of ice per day. We like ice, and don't particularly care about conserving water.

@Cerberus When I am thirsty, I sometimes crunch on ice cubes. Refreshing!

@Cerberus My refrigerator makes ice cubes, crushed ice, and chilled water automatically, and has a cup-shaped recess in the door with a lever that when pressed dispenses ice/water, so that I don't even need to open a drawer. This is quite standard in America. What are Dutch fridges like?

@Cerberus Thirteen degrees Fahrenheit is not tepid. On the other hand, thirteen degrees centigrade is quite lukewarm for my American preferences.

I would rather die of dehydration than drink water at ambient temperature. I require large quantities of ice, as do many other people here in the South. One thing I do like about the South is the refreshing iced teas. I also usually drink iced coffee; not even my hot beverages are hot!

@tchrist It seems that Americans are more generous with ice cubes in drinks than other countries. In Europe they seem reluctant to use ice cubes as well.

Maybe there could be some good snowboarders from the Levant or Arabia, if they sand-board enough.

@terdon Mediterranean people have been falling over themselves since Narcissus.

@terdon I guess that ice isn't the preferred playing terrain of the Mediterranean.

@terdon If you eat Turkey, there is usually some Greece left behind.

@Cerberus Dog-fighting

@terdon What sports do you like to play?

@terdon Do you instead enjoy pankration, diskos, or other Classical sports? Maybe @Cerberus likes πάλη σκυλιών, as he has the advantage of three heads, and if he were killed, he could just leave the Underworld again.

@terdon @Cerberus Καλησπέρα, philhellenes.

@Shahar It is becoming impassioned/animated/spirited in here.
