Joke aside, the Greeks were amazing storytellers but lazy in their monster design. 95% of monsters were just "random animal pieces paired together". So yes, an equus-gallus combination is probably in there. Multiple times.
@stavvers War was bound to happen anyway. Of course, shooting the one person in all of Austria-Hungary that could potentially grant Serbia its independence was not the smartest possible move.
And the British press, for the last 150 years or so, always was like "Nothing bad is going to happen, Britain will forge its own way.... America please send help, we're getting clobbered here!"
@stavvers Hah, we had a similar thing happen to my band!
We were sitting on a couch listening to a new David Bowie track on the PA, and there was this very out synth part. It sounded a lot like this old analog synth we had which would sometimes self-trigger, so we started to discuss whether this was Bowie or the synth. We decided that if the synth came down behind Bowie's voice when he sang, it had to be on the track, and it did, so we concluded it was Bowie...
@stavvers But no, the song stopped and the synth kept going on! It was in fact our synth, and it was purely coincidence that it dropped in level right when Bowie started singing...
@stavvers you can disable your gpu on Windows via the device control and get around this. As usual recording/screenshotting is prevented by the graphics card rather than the intergrated graphics most pc's have.
This is also half remembered and I've had half a bottle of wine so do not trust this dumb girl speaking rn, Google it or w/e
@stavvers This reminds me of old Doctor Who episodes that only survive as what were called telesnaps. The audio remains but the only visual evidence that exists are pics taken of the screen when the episodes originally aired. Yes, this is very much so a thing since so many classic Doctor Who episodes were trashed and donโt exist any longer.
@stavvers Brilliant story! My mother blames Dave Allen, as she and my dad went to see him live and she laughed so hard she went into labour. It was that or the pre-show cocktails. either way I like a drink and laugh a lot!
@stavvers Kind of except that the guy has a bunch of friends and cohabitants (who absolutely are not a bunch of squirrels in a trenchcoat) who go about punching holes in other people's walls and threatening people who want to patch them up.
