These are sanitary mushrooms.

My understanding is that although a county is administered by a count (or earl, in Britain), the rank of nobility didn’t generally implicitly confer land holdings. Likewise with duchies, principalities, baronies, etc.

Copying my comment from a couple of days ago.

In fairness, July and August weren’t inserted, they were renamed from Quintilis and Sextilis, literally the fifth and sixth months of the Roman calendar.

Much earlier, Pompilius (history about whom is largely legendary, and actions attributed to him should be taken with a grain of salt) introduced January and February and set the numbering out of line. These months were previously just lumped in as monthless winter days.

All Julius Caesar did was rebalance the calendar without changing the months. The rename of Quintilis wasn’t even until after he was stabbed.

Gregory XIII then further tweaked it to give us the modern calendar.

Hah, I was just referring to the “pomegranate” message in the OP. In Greek mythology, Zeus’ daughter Persephone was tricked into a marriage with Hades by eating pomegranate seeds.

It’s typically not made from cows’ milk, typically doesn’t dispense drugs, but eating it might possibly consign you to the underworld.

If you’re not wearing a tie, how are we even meant to know you’re in the Croatian army?

Is a human a type of ape? No.

Er… yes, categorically and definitively.

On the plus side, my apartment has four walls and they meet the ceiling.

Yeah, although sweet-and-sour sauce in the US typically has E129 (Red Dye No 40) rather than E127 (Red Dye No 3), which the FDA are banning. There is a whole bunch of anecdotal correlation drawn between E129 and behavior, though, so it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see it reviewed in the future.
