I think it predates a lot of the discussion around property development. The old division of land was called a 'Hold' and long and narrow plots allows for easy farming while maintaining access to the road. Long plots mean fewer turns with a plow.

Leave your degraded self-loathing to yourself and don't make us partake!

Are they going to get Jeremy Clarkson to play Gandalf??? I'd actually watch that.

It's hard not to have nightmares after the Hobbit fiasco...

Except...what do spiders eat? Hence, a bug-lite would fit perfectly with their favoured prey. Big-brain missed the obvious.

I think that's the entire point. You have a 100m race. You're faster at 123m, train for the 200m or the 100m. Those are the distances that are recognized, period. This is a great unpopular opinion, but one I agree with complete. I've had this exact same argument in my house every Olympics. If it requires a special judge to tell me who's better, it doesn't belong.

That looks like it's from Zanoni and Zanoni in Vienna.
