What does going blind with hunger mean?

One time I was 501 years old.

May the Lord be with you as He is with me.

It must be that they had the guy fill up the urine flask and if they could light it, it meant he was too drunk to drive the chariot.

Before the mid 1800s, diabetes was diagnosed by the taste of urine.

That’s not the only thing that will make you go blind!

Despite the cartoon showing a brown bear. It must’ve been a black bear. A brown bear wouldn’t have put up with that. The walking stick would ended up being used as a toothpick by the bear.

It looks like urine a bit of trouble, Nero. ~ Dr. Galba

And gesundheit.

If the spider goes blind how does it find food? Or does it just die?

A lady up here tried to save her dog from a bear, the dog survived, she didn’t.

How did they know those jars were for urine? Was the word urine stenciled on the front?

There is a video of a bear followed by two cubs on a block wall separating two yards. When the dogs threatened the bear, the bear threatened them back. To protect the dogs, a 17 year old girl pushes the bear.

“Black bears” are both black and brown. But in the US we typically reserve the term “Brown bear” for Grizzly. There are no Grizzlies in the lower 48 states (including North Carolina), but they are abundant in Alaska. So I assume the drawing was indeed a black bear, but one of the brown-colored ones.
