It’s a joke about Mary becoming pregnant with Jesus. Although I’m not sure why Gabriel is the one doing it. At least one of the gospels says that the Holy Spirit “comes down upon” her to impregnate her and Gabriel was just the messenger who told Mary that she would carry a child.

The story is different depending on which gospel you read

Which is really pathetic since we are paying their utility bills.
To be fair, far away could mean arms reach on the table compared to the squirtable honey containers from the grocery store
Until reading the comments, I didn’t know people actually owned these. I thought it was supposed to look like the stripes of a bee on a stick as a gimmick to sell. But according to the comments, it’s designed that way so you can twirl it if your honey container is far away from where you want to spread the honey to keep from dripping everywhere.
I’ve never seen one of these in real life, whether at home or traveling. I’ve been to almost all 50 states and 10 other countries.

Not sure how your comment us relevant. I’m talking about following that idea. That doesn’t necessitate release order.
I’d always thought it was a rite of passage, just like in the show. In the show, Ash got Pikachu because he woke up late and all the other kids that were starting their journeys took all of the other starter pokemon. If I recall correctly it was at age 10 that kids start their pokemon journey.
In the game, the only 2 kids in Pallet Town started their pokemon journey at the same time. I always thought the games followed the show like that. I always thought it strange that your only competition with your rival was battles and not number of pokemon seen/caught in the pokedex.

1·2 months agoI understand that learning left from right is a skill to learn. However, it was rare for a teenager to be unable to distinguish their left from right, unlike today.

8·2 months agoIt’s an easy way to introduce fractions, especially since it’s common to hear/say it’s a quarter passed 2, half passed 5, and a quarter to 9.
Also teaches multiples, since the numbers on the clock represent multiples of 5.
Helps with directions, clockwise is when the hands spin to the right and counter-clockwise to the left. You’d be amazed how many students can’t tell their left from right.
I wish it happened around W’s terms when the tea party formed to pull votes from Republicans. The Tea Party jumped back into the GOP and shoved them hard right and whatever left wing party could have pushed the democrats left.
In the movie, none of them died. Wonka verifies it at his office door when he picks up the mail. Charlie asks about the other kids and Wonka says they’ve been turned back into their terrible nasty selves, but are hopefully wiser for the wear. Wonka then points Charlie and Grandpa Joe to the exit and apologies for not showing them out because he’d already wasted the entire day.

4·4 months agoYeah, there was too much infighting and incompetence for him to do as much damage in the first term. His cabinet was dropping like flies the first term and we’re almost 8 months in and nobody’s been fired yet


Not to mention the awful UI for the PS5 and potential lack of a disc drive, so you may not have a bluray/DVD player
Also I have to turn off the ps5 controllers before plugging them in or they won’t charge.
