The author gets 45 free points for using “Defenestration” in a sentence. It means to throw someone out through a window.
Who knew we needed a word just for that?


The Defenstration of Prague, 1618--Jaroslav Bořita and Vilém Slavata and Filip Fabricius are thrown out of a window (they were all unhurt after they landed)

That method of executing one’s enemies was rather primitive.
Even barbaric. We ridicule Islamists for killing gays this same way in today’s world.
What if they survived the fall, were people forbidden to help them out of the street? We’ve come a long way from throwing people we don’t like out of high windows. I hope anyway.

The author is an idiot for not recognizing that good cooking is an art and not as easy as throwing something into a frying pan.
