Maybe this means that Sam Smith is secretly a penguin....or is that a Furry?

Today I resolve to learn about Furries.

Today I learned that furries are completely head fecked....the ones who take it seriously at least.

Today I learned that a petard (as in hoist by one’s own) was a small bomb. I’d always assumed it was a sort of flag.

A mediaeval instrument of war. It's actually a bomb on the end of a pike stick. The lucky man who got to use it lit the fuse ran across the draw bridge dodged the boiling oil, stones and arrows and planted the pike with bomb attached into the castle door hoping to blow it up so the troops could enter the castle.

If he was lucky and the pike was long enough he could retire and watch the explosion. The bomb frequently went off when he slammed it into the door or it went off early etc.

Bit of a suicide mission hence the expression hoisted by his own petard.
