Arm vagina.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

Caged Bird
By Maya Angelou
A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn
and he names the sky his own
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird

Re: Post something you've learnt today
When the Victorians introduced a salt tax to India in the 19th century, effectively trebling the price, it became worthwhile for smugglers to carry it from the coastal saltpans to the interior. The colonialist scum tried various methods stop this, but, in the end, what worked was to plant a hedge of impenetrable thorn bushes about 12 feet high. This hedge, broken only by narrow gaps to let roads through, was 1,500 miles long.

6.2 million metric tons of sesame seeds were harvested globally in 2014.
That's a halva lot of sesame seeds.

That amount is tahini compared to all the sunflower seeds harvested - maybe.
