Did they use corn cobs in the outhouses in Germany in the "old days"? (I've never heard of it in Canada)
Considering the USA’s sphere of influence, and just like many people here are obsessed with culture and products from other parts of the world. I wonder how many American football fan clubs there are outside here.
Agreed!.......just save all the Jasper parts.Single ply or this...

He looks better now (like he actually got outside into the sun!)
I wonder, what’s the rarest name to be shared by more than 2 people? I say more than two because any hipster can name their kid tuskejkdiskdekrkfi, and that would be too easy.
"Eclipse" showcased Jasper's back story. Jackson Rathbone is the best one out of the whole lot of them.I had to go look him up:

Nope, we are ingenious, not wasteful.
We never had outhouses, we p**p*d on the streets and invented waste disposal.

I think you may be pulling my leg

I did learn that Hamburg had a good sewage system back in the 1800s (after a fire in 1842 destroyed one quarter of the city)
"The system was financed by local businessmen and soon inspired all other major European and U.S. cities."
Kurben - you seem to know a lot about history - what could you tell us about this weird subject?

Some historical perspective
When the older half of the city of Hamburg burned – back in the 1840s – a new sewer system had to be built. A brilliant English engineer, William Lindley, designed a revolutionary system that was vented to (and through) the roof drains of all the connected buildings. Using nature itself as a flushing force, Lindley built a flushing system that would use the tide water – once every week – to clean the new main sewer lines. The installation of the new system began in 1842 and, twenty-five years after its initial construction, the sewers were still clean and virtually free of any foul odors. This urban sewer system design concept caught on and cities throughout Europe – and in the United States, as well – began to follow suit. And many of these historical sewer lines still exist – including the city of Hamburg.

I suppose you have the Sears and Roebuck catalogue for your own use?
Holy carp, I'm swamped. I think I should let everyone know that while I am still on track to receive my associate's degree in May, I recently discovered that I needed to take three more classes. So I am cramming them all in one semester, and every week, I have a massive workload. Though they're all online, they are very time consuming. I haven't been able to get any writing done on the side because I'm practically doing assignments/studying 24/7.
