Fun Fact, thats, more or less, something that wealthy people in China and Japan did, they were called “musical floorboards.” Designed to squeak when stood upon. A person could make noise all the way down a corridor.
The residents and servants knew which floorboards made a sound and avoided them. But a burglar, or assassin didn’t. If you heard the creaking of floorboards, you knew danger was coming.
Even better, despite what movies may show, a lot of the old west was founded by Chinese immigrants, so there could have been carpenters around who knew how to make the musical floorboards!
They were also called Nightingale Floors, and looking up to make sure I had the right term, I found they were super clever! They were more than just ill-fit boards or whatever makes floors creak normally, they actually used little metal bars under the boards placed into small holes in the boards to cause the creak.
The best things on the internet are when someone makes a joke and then Miss Frizzle rolls up for an educational adventure.
…no-one has posted this. WTF.
Who wants to live forever?
Wherever you go… whatever happens to you… you’ll never leave me. On our wedding day, you told me that I was the best part of you, but the truth is… we are the best parts of each other. And that is so much bigger than the friggin’ universe.
IN THE FIFTH GIF HE PATS THE CUPS WITH HIS LITTLE PAWS TO MAKE SURE IT’S IN. BRB, DYING.
ARE YOU KIDDING? LOOK AT THE 7TH GIF HOW HE JUST HANDS THE CUPS TO THE PERSON AND IS LIKE, “HERE HUMAN, YOUR FEEBLE TASK FOR ME IS COMPLETE. NOW LEAVE US BE.”
THEY’RE SO CUTE, OMG. I CAN’T.
THE GREATEST THING ON THE INTERNET SINCE THE LAST TIME OTTERS WERE IN A THING ON THE INTERNET.
Reblogging purely for the last one
This post just gets better every time I see it
I wish you wore a costume. Well, I, uh, I did bring something. Do you want to see it? Yeah.
“I wasn’t afraid of you. I was afraid of losing you.”
Wheelbarrow, shoe, guess I’m gonna have to be the shot glass. Oh, that’s a thimble. What? I want to conquer real estate, not mend socks. So then be the shoe. Please, I am not a shoe. Clearly I’m a top hat, so come on, hand it over. Want it? It’s gonna cost you.
Look the, um, the truth is that I still don’t understand why, after everything I said about my less positive qualities, she still chose to kiss me. I mean, do you think she’s ill? Or maybe she’s just taken by you.
I believe in right and wrong, and and deep down, I think that you do too.
