You can double an hourly rate to approximate the annual wage. $30/hr ~= $60k / year.

Because 50 paid weeks * 40 paid hours = 2000 hours -> 2k

$30 * 2k = $60k

Sure, for people who work 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year. Ugh that sounds exhausting.

Tolkein came up with the broad strokes of the simarillion and other parts of his legendarium decades before thinking about hobbits.

He also had an incredible saga involving Santa, a talking polar bear, and the North Pole that he made for his children in letters.

Pigs can't look directly upwards. Neither can we, when standing on all fours. This is because ours and pigs necks are constructed in the same way.

And according to some weirdos on the internet who apparently know some concerning things from experience, human meat tastes the same as pig meat. Tastes like Pork. But now I'm curious why pork & ham & bacon are three distinctly different tastes & textures if they all come from pig.
