But in what way would digging a bypass be faster than 'just' digging out the sides of the canal where the ship is now stuck? No matter how you put it, digging out the ship has to be less work than digging a bypass. Secondly, consi

My supermarket here in the Netherlands has most condiments in such tubes. I like them in outdoor situations, like when going camping or in the park. They're more messy than bottles or jars when used on a table, which is why I think tha
