  For anyone wondering if real piss is involved, this is from the Wiki:

  There is a misconception that century eggs are prepared by soaking eggs in horse urine, but this is not true. In Thai and Lao, the common word for century egg translates to “horse urine egg”, due to this misconception or due to the eggs’ ammonia odor:

  Thai: ไข่เยี่ยวม้า [kʰàj jîaw máː] (RTGS: khai yiao ma)

  Lao: ໄຂ່ຍ່ຽວມ້າ [kʰāj ɲīaw mâː]

  I did a bit of research. As near as I can tell, there’s one (one!) paleontologist listed in the Epstein Files as “having contact with the Epstein organization,” Dr. Jack Horner.

  What does “I did a bit of research” even mean? Couldn’t it be that DinoCon was told about other cases that he is not aware of?

  Banning people for being in the Epstein Files is stupid.

  Sounds like a typical straw man argument to me. “engaged in correspondence” is not the same as “being in the files”.

  I’m in the Epstein Files

  Maybe he felt that it applied to himself and therefore did not read the announcement carefully.

  I’m sure you’re referring to these Opalithplättchen, aren’t you?

  Impressive that you could remember the name. I’m German and had to look it up since I never heard about Opalith before.
