Ducking the Witch

One 'foolproof' way to establish whether a suspect was a witch was ducking. With right thumb bound to left toe, the accused was plunged into a convenient pond. If he or she floated it proved an association with the black arts, with the body rejecting the baptismal water. If the victim drowned they (sic) were innocent. Given the curious position of the prisoner, it was more likely they would float (Farrington 58).

 

"She turned me into a newt!"

 

"A Newt?"

 

Strange...I always thought that was called "dunking"...

Guess now I know what to say to my victims the next time around...I'll even have a funny story to tell them...facts are always entertaining...haa

 

I do, but I still have to grab them out of my batman utility belt.

 

Funny story...a product I developed had a development tag called "NewT" which is short for my "New Technology" branch of development...

How it got branded as a "NewT" is beyond me...but hilarious to hear it pronounced "New Tee"...people are so amusing...

 

Monty Python? "Holy Grail"
You need to get out more!

 

Yes, I know.

That is the next line in the movie by Sir Bedevere. But, you were supposed to come back with, "I got better". Then I shout, "Burn him anyway!"

 

Keeping with the thread theme ...
here in NZ it is a common saying to be "pissed as a newt"

Am I in the right thread ?

 

OH -here is one for MM

Q :"How do you know he is a King ?"
A: "because he hasn't got **** on him!"

 

it got better!!!


beers

 

WTF...how is a pissed off newt something to worry about?? Am I missing something?? Do you guys have newts the size of water buffalo??

 

no no no - pissed means drunk .

 

I still cringe when I watch "Shaun of the Dead" and Simon Pegg turns to Nick frost when they spy the zombie cashier in the yard and says "She's drunk!".
He sounds so unnatural saying "drunk" and he admits in the commentary that they changed "pissed" to "drunk" because they thought American audiences wouldn't get the joke otherwise.

 

Question still remains...WTF who cares about a pissed off newt?

 

we also say "bald as a badger" and we don't even have badgers and no-one ever has says ... WTF a badger isn't bald !

that may be an american saying - not sure though ....

 

Putting on the ritz?

 

What supporting mods did that person have?

 

^ It's going to make you want to keep the car now -

 

Ooops. Crap. That was supposed to say 204.
I'll go back and edit it.
Exhaust, mid-pipe and intake.

 

That would be a follicle deficient badger.

 

I've learned that this car is like a wife. No matter what other hot new things may come your way, its not worth it in the long run. Cheaper to keep her.

 

lol, 240 would be a monster N/A

204 is much more realistic.

 

I'd be happy with 220whp with i/h/e, midpipe and a nice tune.

 

That's what I'm calling "Stage 1"...muuhaa haa haa
