There was a thread awhile back on the “greatest inventions”. It was way deep into the comments - but some Freeper said his grandmother told him “running water”.
I think the Romans would agree. And I imagine without running water, many of the folks that invented other things would have died of disease before they could ever get around to inventing the other stuff. Or - too busy hauling water from the pond.
Heh, yeah, because of where and when I grew up, I just barely missed the "convenience" of hand-pumped wells -- which had been a huge improvement. Homebrew was a necessity for the frontier, and for pre-Age of Sail Europe both rural and urban. The hops still grow here.
Boy, when they zot, they really zot. Not even a posting history left, just this smoldering terrain covered with ash.
Since I have been deep in tax season, I have missed out on the trolls and ogres so, sorry for my jump. You leave large-size footprints in so many posts! At least give me credit for that great picture.
So... in short ... YES you were too sub tull!
Yes. Roman: Slave, run down to the river and fetch me a bath...............
Yeah, 'coz the Romans were all white supremacists.
