Ask Longbowman anything

No. A kippah is not a sacred item. It's just a head covering. In the 19th century people just wore hats like everyone else. A kippa is practical; it's for people who don't want to wear head coverings but still need to. A lot of my relatives wear baseball caps in public instead.

Anyway some kippot are much bigger anyway, particularly Bukharan style kippot. I used to wear them all the time.

Did you ever get mistaken for a Muslim when you wore it? It's very similar to the hats they wear

No, because I grew up in a very Jewish area with few Muslims. But it is similar.

You can still find lead in soil next to roads that existed when leaded gas was in use, even though here in the USA leaded gas has been banned since 1995 and for all practical purposes and intents hasn't been used much since the early 80s. (I don't recall EVER seeing a pump that sold leaded gas, even in the 80s).

Yes, but lead in soil along roads while problematic is not as difficult to avoid as aspirating it from exhaust pipes, processing plants or ingesting with water would be. I do remember (albeit these are dim recollections) from my childhood that lead petrol was still being sold (albeit only in rare petrol stations) in Poland in early 00s.

But as cars were very rare in Poland before the fall of communism in 1989 here - leaded petrol exposure was not as much of an issue here.

Probably so. But how do you explain my oldest sister being retarded when she was born to 20 something parents? I wonder what happened there. Maybe it's genetic. My brother is the only normal one. My dad had a 140 IQ. Yet I'm retarded too.

You have mental issues, but mental retardation as in intellectual impairment is not one.

Why do people insist that Lithuanians are Eastern European and/or Slavic? Is it out of ignorance, or are they just trolling?
