For example, Britain’s national mapping organisation’s brand is associated in our national consciousness with going to a small shop in a quaint village to get a map showing how to walk up a mountain. It’s called Ordnance Survey. If that sounds like Artillery Research to you, that’s because the project started because the king wanted to know how to accurately bomb Scotland.

        Yeah dude the more I think of milk as sexual assault the stranger it feels.

        Meat is outright murder and cannsbilism, and don’t get me started on eggs.

          I’m guessing cannibalism. But where are you shopping?

        In the staff fridge at work someone used to label their milk as “breast milk” and people would go eeeww. Like it was snot or something. But from a cow’s breasts? Fine! So weird.
