Get the Strunes mug.(November 27, 1843-September 30, 1888) The third recognized victim of Jack the Ripper. Known as "Long Liz" by friends later in life, for her last name and lanky physique.
Born Elisabeth Gustafsdottir to a peasant family west of Gothenburg, Sweden. Unlike the other victims, Liz turned to prostitution early in life and at five-foot-five, with her dark brown hair, grey eyes, and angular features, she was a striking woman. She was known among Gothenburg police and gave birth to a stillborn daughter in April, 1865. In 1866, she moved to London as a domestic servant and in 1869 she married John Thomas Stride, a carpenter 13 years older than her. Their marriage was stormy and they separated at least twice, for the last time in 1881.
After leaving Stride, Liz lived in a dosshouse and lived off of charity handouts in addition to sewing, housekeeping, and occasional prostitution. From 1885 until her death, she had an on-and-off relationship with a dockworker, Michael Kidney. While described as "calm" and "sober", Liz was arrested several times for drunk and disorderly conduct and she and Michael were often at each other's throats.

While described as "calm" and "sober", Liz was arrested several times for drunk and disorderly conduct and she and Michael were often at each other's throats.
Elizabeth Stride often told acquaintances that she'd lost her husband and two of her nine children in the sinking of the "Princess Alice" in 1878 and another survivor had kicked her in the mouth as they swam to safety, causing her to stammer. While Liz was missing the teeth in her lower left jaw, Thomas Stride actually had died of tuberculosis in 1884 and they had no children. This story was most likely to elicit sympathy and financial aid from others.
At 12:35 AM, Liz was seen speaking with a man in Dutfield's Yard, next to the International Working Men's Educational Club on Berner Street. At about 1 AM, Louis Diemshutz, the steward of the club, pulled into Dutfield's Yard with his pony and cart when the pony was startled by something in the darkness and refused to go farther.
Diemshutz dismounted the cart, knelt in front of his horse, and struck a match; he saw Liz Stride lying in the dirt with her throat cut and bleeding.
Beyond the throat wound, Liz had not been injured and her clothing was undisturbed, unlike Polly Nichols and Annie Chapman. Perhaps she was not a Ripper victim, perhaps the Ripper meant to go farther when the arrival of Diemschutz interrupted him. Having botched this killing, Jack had to flee. Leaving the East End and crossing into the City of London, he happened upon Mitre Square... and another victim, Catherine Eddowes.

Bro Strider is a character from Homestuck, a web comic by Andrew Hussie.
He's the adoptive older brother/ biological father of Dave Strider and the post-scratch/alpha version of his brother, and in this ver. he's called Dirk Strider. ( This might not make sence if you haven't read the web comic.)
Bro Strider is a very controversial caracter, as some find him very attractive and don't see why he's a bad person, and others despise him.
The creator of the web comic has described his actions as abusive, and the Fandom Wiki for Homestuck says that "Dirk seemed to lack any sense of self-awareness or empathy in his methods in preparing Dave for Sburb, such as his tendency to deprive Dave of food and deliver constant physical abuse, which Dave later describes as totally sociopathic in nature and believes he saw raising a child as a game. He holds martial prowess and fighting above all else besides puppets, as he started Dave's training when he was just a baby. Many of his interactions with Dave only involve violence and his constant poker face is never broken by body language, to the point that Dave likens him to a robot."

Person 1: "I really don't understand why people don't like Bro Strider... yeah I guess he was a bit tough on Dave, but I think that he truly loved him and wanted to see him succeed! Not to mention he was under the influence of Lil Cal"
Person 2: "Are you FUCKING kidding me? Bro Strider was nothing but ABUSIVE to Dave! He hurt him constantly, exposed him to the smuppets (smut puppets) and starved him! If you think his behaviour is acceptable you're crazy!"

Get the Medical Student mug.The Student Room, or TSR for short... Beware, all ye who enter The Student Room. As its name sufficiently conveys, the Student Room is teeming with students. And not just any students. The students The Student Room is teeming with are a special brand of toadying ignoramuses of British or British-wannabe students whose sole goal in life is to break the world record for one or more (preferably all) of the following:
1. A* grades at GCSE and A level and unis got offers fromy
2. Studying Dentistry at Oxbridge (additionally, take note of the heart-warming fact that if you're studying something low like English Literature, you will be offered a couch for the nights)
Popular spare time excursions of The Student Roomers include:
1. Woman-bedding (a more popular alternative is woman-bashing)
2. Bashing of Muslamists and Pakis (both constitute a wide range of personally-held beliefs, hard to part with)
3. Generally strutting about like a rooster who has done all that is due of him in life once he has contributed to the production of a fertilised egg fit for either consumption or propagation
The only reason to enter The Student Room would be to troll. Trolls are verily the only incentive for The Student Room's extant status.

Get the starving student mug.IB students, generally, are sane people that take a 2-year program which makes them insane. They are found famous for nervous breakdowns. An IB students typical day is like this: wake up at 7.30 am, use the restroom, study while eating, study, go to school, come home, study, study while eating, study, and then, sleep at 1.30 next morning. IB is not hell. It is simply a course that makes you want to kill your friends in the urge to be the valedictorian. IB students are usually hated by most people. They are outcasts. They get a indescribable amount of homework. Moreover, they lack the inability to talk, communicate or to do any other social thing. They miss their youth.
IB TEACHER: Who can tell me why the Chinese Ming were far wealthier then their predecessors, Shang and Tang?
IB STUDENTS: Mmm.. There are a dozen different ways to answer that question. In Bentley and Zeiger's perspective its because of a tax system levied on people. In McNeil's perspective its because of canals that were developed through Huang He. But, in David Christians perspective, its because of the defense put on the northern frontier to protect the Chinese from the steppe nomads.
