I love Dinosaur Comics. For anyone just discovering this, there are SO MANY for you to catch up on
Iceland is named after its most famous celebrity: Vanilla Ice.
Dogs bark. Dogs pee on trees. Trees have bark. Coincidence? You can have that for free. (And to save you time, if you go back to Proto-Indo-European, the only difference between the root words is an extra laryngeal consonant, so they could quite easily be the same thing differentiated by some weird grammatical quirk.

idiot, stupid, crazy, etc, is ableism,
