NounsAndWords, in Oh boy I sure do hate this

Isn’t that where the “riding a broomstick” thing came from in the first place?

I rember hearing this on the myths and legends podcast. They also lubed it with ground up herbs to get high.

Is anyone else here getting a little emotional about the idea of grieving relatives burying a teenage girl with her special collection? Whatever her reason, she really cared about all those ankle bones, and her family wanted to make sure that she could keep them. Maybe even they didn’t understand why they were important to her, but she was important to them, so they buried their daughter with her sheep ankle bones.

…and one is compelled to imagine the strength of those thighs

That is a traditional Assyk game. She was probably a champion. ich.unesco.org/…/kazakh-traditional-assyk-games-0…

rosymind,

I noticed only boys play the game now. Either way, I’d like to imagine that she was buried with them so that she could continue to play in their afterlife. Humans can be so cute… sometimes

yellowdesk5407,

I think it is just competitive for boys. We used to play in school with girls and boys. Girls usually were better at it)

rosymind,

Neat :)

I’m not trying to judge her, but it’s sort of like when you go over to someone’s house and you find out they have a walk-in closet specifically for their shoes.

Or worse, when they have a walk-in closet for their sheep ankle bones.

You just know this girl had a sheep ankle bone closet in her mud hut.

Wasn’t five stones a game though? Like where you catch them on the back of your hand or something?

What if we stumbled onto the grave of the world champion five stone player?

kibiz0r, in PSA

I can’t tell you how many times I read “Count Dracula” as “Count Chocula”, and wondered “Whoa, how deep is the lore on this confectionary nosferatu?”

Grass,

This made me choke on my own saliva as I failed to chuckle correctly

I dunno I think it’s mighty convenient for these old villains to assume it’s as easy for those of us coming after whilst conveniently failing to acknowledge that they’re immortal. I mean for most us, being 412 would really put a damper on your ability to perpetrate evil. By the time we’re 100 it’s pretty difficult to do much of anything before needing a cup of tea and a lie down.

Virginity was never about sexual integrity but youth. Child sexual assault was rampant thoughout the classical and middle ages. Blood from a sacrifice of any child under majority (fourteen or before first period) would qualify.

Mary and Joseph were totally banging.

That said, most kids were so fucked by life that it was a major deal when one did age up. Despite the Church wanting to execute women for premarital proclivities, the labor shortage was no one else was into it (until you get to high-ranking aristocracy, and even then, only for the hautiest).

What’s the story with the chest band-aid?

Transform2942,

That’s where the witch got the blood?

Subverb, in Be prepared this Halloween

If you want to know more about the Salem Witch Trials and how bonkers they were, American History Tellers has a great multipart podcast on it. Very entertaining, crazy shit.
