How about if we reclassify the Civil War as a Youth Sport? Then all those Confederate monuments are banned.

Huh. I didn't think that thing would work, but apparently the actual lawyers did, or they wouldn't have bothered going after it.

Reply to comment by Dwarf-Lord_Pangolin in TIL that before the invention of regfrigeration in 1851, ice had to be imported to Australia from Boston, Massachusetts. The ice blocks travelled through the tropics inside ships insulated with timber, straw, peat, and sawdust by stumcm

I guess OP stumcm already gave you an answer to this, but I just wanted to say this seems like an eminently reasonable question. Antarctica is really close by.

Reply to Adult entertainment club's event at Texas golf course surprises high school golf team by Capt_Foxch
