Mr. Snail, can you tell me why it’s Istanbul not Constantinople?
“This topic has already been thoroughly covered by They Might Be Giants, as mentioned in my book… which you can buy… right here.”
That’s nobody’s business but the Turks
Because Constantinople is a mouthful. Source: Me.
Because Istanbul was Constantinople, now it’s Istanbul, not Constantinople.

Just stare at it for long enough and you’ll be able to tell by the shape it burned into your retina.
During sunsets you can see it easily

We can see it’s round during an eclipse.
Not if the moon is also square.

Most Snails also can’t see in colour, and therefore could not ask why the sky is blue.

When you look at it for a bit you’ll see its a circle.
There were dead ass people who would just sit and stare at the sun. Ancient astronomy was crazy.
The sun is a fiery, life-giving snail that is creeps across the pale blue outer shell of the great mother snail we live upon.
That’s a lot better than when the sun was a deadly lazer
Isn’t this scientology
Love this!
