Swedish person congruens of verbs started to collapse very early. Already on one 1000 year old runestone you can see a verbform in singular, where the person is in plural. One of the first forms to disappear was the 1st person singular present indicative active, æm, that fell together with the 3rd person singular ær. In modern English æm still exists with the spelling am.

There is only one truth and it is that people do have penises of different sizes and one of them is the longest.

The metal water bottle holders for bikes are just the right size to hold one of the tall camping propane cylinders used for lanterns,heaters and torches.  I have one screwed to the side of my workbench in the my shed that I use for a heater in the winter and a torch in the summer

The XProc extension step c:wait-for-update, suggested by me at a conference in Montréal in August, was added to the Calabash processing engine in version 1.0.12.

Going to use it today. :viking:

It's going to be in the low 70's for the next 2 or 3 days.  Typical New Orleans winter weather.
