It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. And then the murders began.

Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. And then the murders began.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. And then the murders began.

Game of Clones is a British game show
that asks contestants to describe their
perfect soulmate’s looks, then finds 8
exact matches. After dressing them all
identically, the contestant completes a
series of games to narrow them down to
one true love, because, according to the
show, when looks between 8 people are
equal, all that’s left to go on is personality. Source

Reasons why this is crap:

1. It starts out easy enough, and then the you realize the past tense of ‘lie’ is also the present tense of ‘lay.’   

2. Once you lay a book on the desk, it isn’t laying there. It’s lying there.

Even after all that, you think you’ve got it right, but then…

NOPE. Because…

3. When you go on vacation, you spend your time lying on the beach, not laying in the sand – unless you’re doin’ the nasty, in which case you would be ‘laying someone in the sand’ (and getting sand all up in your… you know).

AHHHHHHGHGHGHGH! 

Go home, English. You’re drunk.

One more thing … If you’ve been trying to teach your dog to ‘lay down,’ but she just stares at you like you’re an idiot, she’s probably a Grammar Nazi.

During WWII, the U.S. had a plan to dye
Mt. Fuji black. Though never seen to
fruition, the plan was devised as a form
of psychological warfare to play against
the superstitions of the Japanese. The
idea was that locals would be horrified
to awaken one day and find a deeply
spiritual symbol of their culture had
turned black, which, in theory, would
have served as a distraction to help
give Americans the advantage. Source
