The accepted origin of the myth of ghosts is that prehistoric hunters, in colder places and times, would see a white, transparent mist rising from the wounds of dead animals and people. Further characteristics evolved over the milenia to the modern interpretations.
That's interesting. I've also heard of people engulfed in thick snowstorms in arctic regions having hallucinations of supernatural events, because their visual cortex was receiving the exact same visual stimuli (a wall of white) for too long, which eventually starts to just get filtered out because our brains assume the information is unimportant. Instead, our brains colloquially start to just make things up, and you hallucinate. You can also achieve this by slicing a ping pong ball in half and taping the halves to be around each of your eyes, so that all you can see is white. Supposedly after about 20 minutes, you'll start to see things.

This also happens to people who are trapped or lost in caves, and also to inmates who spend too long in solitary confinement.

The Babylonians used a base-60 number system. That is why there is 60 minutes in the hour and 360 degrees in a full circle.

What's right or what's wrong isn't so because it's fact; but it is so because those who are in authority say it is so.

In reality, it isn't wrong to kill, to steal, to rape, or to do the things we call evil. What I mean by this is that we added the concept of right and wrong because we needed order.

Pain is in your head until the point your arm is sticking out your elbow.

Selling useless things to acquire currency to buy other useless things is just how economics works.

Ramen is the bachelor's dish of choice... Unless you're stationed in Hawaii - where, somehow, it's 50 cents a pack! >.<

-Polar bears do not stroll around the streets of Norway, in fact, we don't even have Polar bears. Of Norway's domain, we only have polarbears at Svalbard.
-Norway does not have permafrost.

How large of a pack?
Standard size. X.x
The block squares with flavor packets you get everywhere.

That would be how many grams? I know I can get a pack of 250g with three things for 65 cents and those are mark names and not the cheap stuff. The seasoning not included but isn't also that expensive and could go a long way.

How about this:
I payed 7 cents per pack in Alabama. Tax and all. The price jump is serious compared to where I'm from.

That is cheap. I know nothing coming close to even a good snack that costs 7 cents in European supermarkets.

Because capitalism leads to lower prices due to brutal competition between producers over the limited resource of spenders who will go to where the product is cheapest?
xD

Either way - it's still ridiculously cheap here compared to everything else... I still miss 7 cent ramen though.
