I would like to bring it to everyone's attention that there is currently a fad in social media to translate "sharp knife" into Latvian using Google Translate and I think you should all do it.

I asked a Latvian if it’s true and she confirmed it.

Haha I can’t but it’s funny because one time I appeared with a Sodom tee shirt in school, a friend saw it laughs out loud and said: Sodom? Where is Gomor?

We do have this expression Sodoma & Gomorra but it’s more about sexual acts i.e., unthinkable acts happening there.

Neither of us had a clue of the other meaning of the word sodom at that point

He could have managed it a little earlier and saved us a lot of trouble.

 

[Magnus]

Yeah, one of the worst cases of lethal procrastination.

Revolutions do not just happen they need financial backing and Lenin was probably backed by the West. More precisely Germany.

Yes, because "the West" was a functional thing in 1917
