Makes about as much sense as what most characters say in a Metal Gear game to be fair

Apologies for bumping an old thread, but I watched this video and it blew my mind. Seemed like an appropriate place to post it.

That's confusing but interesting.
Now, can I use that strategy to increase my chance of winning the lottery?

The Canary Islands are not named after the bird. They're actually named after dogs. Their original name in Latin is "Canariae Insulae" or "Island of dogs".

The London train service just for dead people
Another way to solve the problem of burying the city’s dead was the London Necropolis Railway.
From 1854 to a special service of trains from Waterloo transported dead bodies to a Surrey cemetery.
Still chilling but certainly practical.
Trains ran for nearly 100 years until the London Necropolis Railway Station suffered heavy bomb damage in 1941.

Yes that one was cool, but a warm one would sound different.
