Ancient Persian engineers made their
own freezers that kept ice cold – even
during desert summers. By 400 BCE, they
had perfected the ‘yakhchal,’ which are
made of thick, heat-resistant materials.
They had vents to funnel breezes to an
underground storage area and push
warm air out the top, and ice could be
brought in during winter to use for
making chilled treats in the summer. SourceSource 2
Tolkien started rewriting the Hobbit in the style of LotR, but what I really want is the Silmarillion in the style of the Hobbit.
In a hole in the fabric of the universe there lived a god.
Now, this was not one of those minor gods of bedtime stories or petty wars for heaven; this was the One God, all-loving and all-knowing, who created the world – only he hadn’t created the world just yet, which is why he was sitting in a hole in the fabric of the universe.
You chilly old fox! Where have you been my comrade? The winter has been songless without you! I’ve had no one to explore the ice caves with! You absolute devil! Hell and iron, Langon, it’s been a full Age if it’s been a day… Embrace me before you melt, my spiny trickster! Master will want you all to himself now you’re home.
@forgemaiar: No no. I’ve played with these creatures before. It may not be as bad as you think. Look! You still have one boot left! || mitsa ||
