Random things I'm wondering about today as my brain leaps from one fic to another.

Would the stays in a corset deflect a knife so that instead of it stabbing where it was intended, it would go in at a different angle, potentially causing a less serious wound?

What was the most popular serious/hardcore recreational drug during the Roaring Twenties? Was opium still being used heavily?

What about the teeth of Immortals anyway? Would they never wear down? Would they grow back if knocked out, or are lots of Immies wearing dentures?

Early nineteenth pistols. Need to know more. Must look through collected websites soonish.

Just what did happen when Charlotte went to Bali with Tony? Will they ever tell me? Do I really want to know?

If Ezra Standish had to choose another name for a new persona, what would it be?

Later: Wow! I wasn't expecting so much random pondering help [g] And some of these aren't even for any specific purpose, just idle curiosity. Like the immie teeth one. Why am I wondering about it? Not a klew! I just am.

I believe that the stays would, in fact, deflect a knife, especially the late Victorian ones with steel instead of whalebone.

Believe it or not, the most popular drug of choice during the '20s and '30s was cocaine.

I figure teeth are one of those things Immies don't have to worry about. Like menstruation. Otherwise, what would be the point of being Immortal?
