I doubt it, but I have read about a tribe that selectively bred themselves to be able to hold their breath for an unreasonably long amount of time.

edit: Added a word without which the sentence doesn't make sense.

No, they're exaggerating. He only got slammed.

No, Spoodermang.

What about flying a kite in the dark?

And depending on the size of your lot, maybe you could use a reel mower. They're nearly silent!

You could also use a scythe, but that sounds like a lot more work.

I've dislocated my shoulder fourteen times. One of those times was on the job at a retail location. I went to the ER, no help (financial or otherwise) from the employer; the next shift, I was chastised for alarming customers by bringing an ambulance onto the lot.

I was very young at the time and didn't realize that that was not reasonable.

FWIW, my understanding is that the owner of Epic is actively anti-Linux, so your third feature is a unlikely at best. The fourth was only remotely likely due to market share.

You're going to have to change your username, presumably.

When I was a kid, I would read (among other things) X-Men novels. Wolverine wasn't as popular of a character back then, but he frequently featured prominently. A common descriptor for his character was "barrel chested."

I never really knew what that meant before.

That seems plausible. Thank you.

I knew there was something weird about that game.

I still want to know what a Dragula is.
