It's very common to not be able to walk for a year after being circumcised.
Are you the Secretary of Heath and Human Services?
No, but I know many boys are circumcised within a few days of their birth.
TBH I walked out of the hospital
You're in the minority. I think most leave in a pushchair or a car seat.

The life of pablo Picasso

I read his Wikipedia entry after seeing something on social media saying

Picssso died in the 1970 s. I thought he was much older history than that.
His caveman views on women would probably get him cancelled and thus the chance of appearing on Loose Women.

Tea without cold milk poured into it would cool quicker vs. where cold milk is added immediately.
This is easily explained....

Boiling water from a kettle to make tea... the temperature will be high.. And its known that a beaker of 80 degree temperature water will radiate heat into the surroundings faster then say same beaker at 50 degrees. 80 degrees to ambiant temperature compared to 50 degrees to ambient, the temperature differential is greater so there is more heat transfer going on at a higher temperature.

Who remembers the kids show Lazy Town? Girl with pink hair, the Sporticus guy with a Go Compare moustache, and the baddie called Robbie Rotten. Robbie Rotten was played by Stefan Karl Stefansson, he died a few years ago of cancer. On Lazytown, his understudy was David Howard Thornton, who plays Art the clown in the Terrifier films.

Yes I remember my kids watching it.

In what surreal world is Harvester bedfellows with McD's ?

Harvester employs people who can speak and understand english, are polite and smartly dressed , and amazingly the mens toilet floors are not awash with urine.
I can only speak about the ones I've been to, but in my experience Harvester is one of the better chain pub restaurants - locally it's better than the Brewers Fayre, Greene King, Marston's, Beefeater and Charles Wells places.

Female hyenas don't have a vagina but instead a 7-inch long clitoris through which they give birth.

The limited comic potential of misunderstanding a nordic nation with a frozen food retail outlet.

Sir, that comment is beneath you, we shall never refer to it again.

Pretty sure I saw a post saying it had a near 180 degree bend in it too, making it one of the hardest births of any mammal with a huge death rate.

Though there was a brief satisfying period when Iceland the retailer was owned by an Icelandic bank.
