    Since when has it been ok/the norm for wooden replicas of men to live in attics that have been converted into children's playrooms? And what does it have to do with the promotion of milk?

    since the supreme court decided the law against it was unconstitutional.

    God, now there's a blast from the past.... But what's wrong with a bit of surrealism...? I had a teddy-bear the same size as me when I was 3.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    206 in an adult, I seem to recall, in case anyone was really asking.
    Which I don't think they were.


    I'll just go, then, shall I? :p

    But note how they don't answer the original question in the ad. They evade it by asking another somewhat related but ultimately different one. Grrrr!

    Law not fact! No corner of the universe escapes its reach.

    And I think you'll find that calcium powder beats all comers.

    Ugg nasty stuff

    Ca(s) + 2H2O(g) → Ca(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)

    Some may prefer a mouthfull of bubbling quicklime that draws moisture from your flesh. Maybe it's just me but I prefer my calcium, carbonated.

    Mmm, limestone. :D:p

    Much better than Calcium Hydroxide anyway. Lime'd have it in a fight.
