I’m kidding here, but the similarities are odd. The weather is always between 70F and 85F all year round. The biggest threat to you on the island are apples. You shouldn’t eat the apples that grow on the island; the small green ones are poisonous. Oh, and it isn’t easy to immigrate there. It’s a place where only few people are allowed to reside. Oh, and did I mention the abundant variety of plants and animals on the island?
Ironic, then, that it’s also where Darwinism was born
If it’s such a paradise it wouldn’t have an absolutely spastic way of measuring the temperature
For the other 97% of the planet, the yank means 21 to 29 degrees, I had to look it up
While the conversion is appreciated, there’s no reason to be an ass about it. OP labeled it, so it’s not like it was confusing or making unnecessary assumptions about the audience. So really you’re the one who just comes across as completely culturally insensitive.
Culturally insensitive
american culture - guns, school shootings, medical debt bankruptcy, idiotic units of measurements
down vote away. im not wrong. seeth more.
IIRC there are theories that Eden refers to a location near where the Tigris and Euphrates meet.
Something about a line mentioning three rivers and there being a river that joins the combined river shortly after it merges.
I just think it’d be funny to imagine that the legendary first home of humanity was somewhere in southern Iraq or Kuwait.
This is a/the part of the Bible (Genesis 2) people reference to support that belief:
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel*: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
*Ostensibly Tigris
One of the most heavily edited books based on old Sumerian fables just happens to base itself around what was ancient Sumer.
Wow.
