This kind of weight is absolutely how Nanni busted Ea-Nasir's shipment of bad copper for the Ea-Nasir fans out there, fun to think that whoever weighed them was using cute little frogs or duckies

Hell yeah fever going up again, let’s goooo. On the one hand glad it’s the weekend and I’m not missing more work and I can just rest and not feel bad about it, on the other hand is there anything worse than losing all your hard earned weekend time to being sick. I wanted to go see Nosferatu again
