Abbé Faria Puns

José Custódio de Faria was born in Candolim, Bardez in the erstwhile territory of Portuguese Goa, on 31 May 1756. He was the son of Caetano Vitorino de Faria of Colvale, and Rosa Maria de Sousa of Candolim. He also had an adopted sister, Catarina who was an orphan. Caetano was in turn a descendant of Anantha Shenoy, a Goud Saraswat Brahmin, village clerk and Patil of the same village who converted to Christianity in the 16th century. He was a Goan Catholic of the Bamonn caste, and was also of partial African descent.

Luso-Goan Catholic monk who was one of the pioneers of the scientific study of hypnotism, following on from the work of Franz Mesmer. Unlike Mesmer, who claimed that hypnosis was mediated by "animal magnetism", Faria understood that it worked purely by the power of suggestion. In the early 19th century, Abbé Faria introduced oriental hypnosis to Paris.

Hi there,

The title is meant to be lighthearted but reflects some truth. I'm a 25 year old male, feeling intellectually stagnated at this point in my life. I'm not completely sure if this is anything more than fantasy or a thought, but I would love to culture myself further. To know more of the world, understand more about things. Literature, history, philosophy, art, economics, music, humanity, politics, science etc., with the hope of enriching my experience further.

I don't think I'm a fool, but I feel I lack the drive to pursue this type of ambition currently. Laziness seems to be a more effective demon than it was and maybe a mentor/mentee dynamic or relationships could help with this. I want to want to do these things, to read, to learn and to be more fulfilled in this sense.

In any case, thanks for reading.

It stretches the bounds of plausibility that young sailor Edmond Dantès could learn so much in such terrible conditions, but it served Faria well to switch his identity --- as he does many times later.

“How many times do we go through our happiness, without realizing it, without looking at it; but even if we look, we won't recognize it. "

In the center of the plot, we see a young sailor from Marseilles Edmond Dantes, who returns from a long journey for his fiancée, a poor Mercedes fisherman. But your envious people are sailing the ship with Dantes and, as a result of a conspiracy, our hero is trapped in Château d'If.

It's important to note beforehand that in addition to several friends, our hero has three envious enemies:

- Fernand Mondego. Lost in love by Edmond's bride, a young man. Despite the constant presence around you, the "friendship zone" is solid and indestructible.

- Danglars. An accountant who had a big fight with Dantes for an unknown reason (not surprisingly, on the other hand).

- Caderousse. Neighbor of Dantes. Instead, he's just jealous of the danger.

Edmond returns with an unusual death request from the previous captain - to receive a letter on the Isle of Elba to a certain Noirtier.

Well then, the letter has been received, it still has to be delivered, but Dantes is in a hurry to find his beloved. The head of the company decides to make the captain "deputy" from yesterday, a wedding is being prepared.

Meanwhile, three enemies are chatting in the tavern about the current state of affairs. And they come up with an insidious plan - to write an anonymous letter with your left hand and cast Edmond as a Bonapartist agent. Note that Cadrusse was against slander. Therefore, Danglars crumpled the letter, but did not burn it, but threw it in a corner, giving Fernand a tip.

As a result, Edmond is soon arrested at the wedding. During interrogation, prosecutor Villefort realizes that Edmond is innocent. But the recipient, Noirtier, is his father, although he is the exact opposite of his son. The letter was burned and Edmond, the last witness, was imprisoned in the castle of If.

All attempts to get Dantes out of the dungeon, made by Morrell, the head of the company, and his fiancee, Mercedes, failed. Edmond then received a "life sentence" in one of the most impregnable dungeons.

Next, we learn how Edmont Dantes spent many years in prison, and this is perhaps the first thing that captured mine.

The author masterfully conveys the state of Edmond Dantes to the reader. At first, the hero still believes that everything that happens to him is a mistake, that now everything will be clear, he will be released and returned to his bride Mercedes

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Buenosdillas

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

There hasn't been a post all year!

Why

It’s pronounced “Noel.”

After all his first name is No-vac

What, then, is Chinese rap?

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...

Notices there's only 2;

Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."

I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.

I was just sitting there doing nothing.

“BOOM”?!
