the beard would have to go if you wanted to firebreath.
OH THAT"S HOW NAPOLEON'S DICK ENDED UP IN NEW JERSEY!! His brother lived there.
As a Brit, I'm surprised you don't know what the Anglican Church is. its the one Henry the 8th founded so he could divorce his current wife at the time play fuck marry kill with all of his other wives. admittedly, he misunderstood how the game worked.
Careful Simon, the gorilla, the okapi and the platypus were all cryptids
Once again thanking Katy for the DannyDeVito Scale of Measuring Cryptids
And thanks to Robert for playing along
It has become the only measurement I understand
incredible
16:25 Reminds me of Mitch Hedberg “I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that's extra scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. Run, he's fuzzy, get out of here.”
ONG!! I thought the same thing. Mitch was a one of a kind.
That's a general concept that's been captured a lot in horror, so why did it just freak me out 😂
I raise you "Flat Bigfoot"
He is a real being, but two-dimensional. When hes spotted he stands perfectly in-line with your eyesight and becomes a virtually invisible line.
@@clowdiedays I like it! Even more impressive, he comprehends the 3D world and understands that his form is in opposition to it and that he can manipulate that to, essentially, troll us! What a cryptid!
@@stefanieday7518well, Steven Wright
I love that Simon has decided to refer to his children by ancient names. I don't want to know their actual names but I do enjoy hearing about our smooth brained fact boys family. Keep being awesome Simon. And also Danny please write an autobiography.
As a New Jerseyan, I'm so excited for this episode! Yes, I live in the Pine Barrens too.
You don’t live in Australia, mate?
Google hammer head bat.
Do you identify as a jersey bi-sis jersey devil?
@@budgreenjeans I agree with the Hammer Head Bat being the Jersey Devil.
I was happy about the Bordentown part because I live near there and a also worked in that Mansion that is now 10 row homes
“I don’t know what an Anglican is.” -a British dude
I love Simon but I am constantly shocked at how little he knows about the world around him, because he is not at all a dumb person.
Are you sure he’s not a dumb person? 😆
To be fair, to an Englishman it's usually just "the Church of England", I don't think they really mention the denomination much if any.
@@Narangarath that makes sense, I kind of wondered about that actually.
Hahaha I had to come to the comment section as soon as I heard the Anglican comment 😂
Oh God I always wanted to say that out loud. Also he's always "why didn't they..." and it was like 40 odd years ago or a completely different culture". Also the withdrawal method is NOT A RELIABLE METHOD OF CONTRACEPTION. Neither is the 'rhythm method', unless you specifically wanted a developmentally challenged child.
RE: The dog with boobs, Basset Hounds actually used to have skin folds in the neck area/just under the jaw that looked a lot like what is shown in that drawing. And of course, they're known (like all hound breeds) for loud baying, which the open mouth and forked tongue in the image might represent. Modern breeding has reduced the skin folds beneath the chin, as well as the length of their legs (they used to be taller) and introduced other issues. But as soon as I saw the 'booby dog,' I immediately thought of Basset Hounds.
Thanks for clearing up the mystery of that bizarre image. But I can't help thinking that knowing this takes away some mystique. We moderns can no longer look down on old-timey folk for believing in something when we know it actually existed. A busty bound with a forked tongue would make a much more interesting cryptic than the Jersey Devil itself. 😀
I have a coonhound and can confirm. She is literally the devil.
To me they looked like neck testicles. I knew they couldn't be boobs since they weren't on the chest.
Considering the dog with a monks head, and the dragon, I think its more likely to be a dog with actual boobs
God the hound dog howl is so specific 😂 I have a beagle mix that talks so much
Some people will be _very_ surprised when Simon runs off to join the circus with ChatGPT. Decoding the Unknown viewers won't be though.
The cult. Not the circus... the cult.
Cult indeed O.o
Fakenews-GPT
he already did. what we have here is a deep fake simon being read by chat gpt
@@VictorLoganov That explains how he didn't know about Anglicans.
I am a New Jerseyan and I have been waiting for this episode! I had neighbors who used to claim they had seen the Jersey Devil but now as an adult I think they were just trying to scare the neighborhood kids lol. Also Simon keeps claiming that coitus interruptus works for birth control but not recognizing that a wife in the 18th century couldn’t necessarily demand her husband do that because, as we all know, the past was the worst. Great episode as always!!
Also I have met many people that got pregnant pulling out please don't listen to Simon's medical advice ever 😅
Or better yet: stop f**king.
apparently, if done correctly, it's 20% effective... 20 - that's 1 in 5 times it works
@@vulcanfelinethe male leaks out when getting close and most males get close quick. Stop for a second or two or 10 to slow the stimulation and restart. Most men do this 2-3 or 10 times depending on energy and interest levels. By then lots of sperms got free and are happily swimming around the play area before the actual full climax. I wouldn’t trust it.. I have in the past and got lucky but your luck will run out.
Simon learning fire breathing day 1 - Burns entire beard off.
Simon learning fire breathing is going to give “Brain Blaze” a whole new meaning. And the basement is going to get more lit than it already is, and this time it will be literally lit.
When I was a teenager back in the mid-1970s, my family camped in the Pine Barrens every weekend and holidays. The Jersey Devil stories were best told around a campfire with a gaggle of teens, late in the night, and making s'mores by firelight. Good scare!
Ahhh coitus interuptus my favorite Harry Potter spell
It shouldn't be. It's only 60-70% at best effective and doesn't protect anyone from STIs or STDs 🙄🙄🙄
Don't forget its cousin fetus deletus!
@@theredmenace22 one would have to remember it because that is the 60-70% most likely outcome to coitus interruptus being used 😂
@@emmavink Why have I never seen tumblr discourse about Hogwarts' sex ed program? Someone get on this coz you know it's gotta be a mess.
@@theredmenace22 truth 🙃😂
I liked the What We Do In The Shadows take on the Jersey Devil, with the devil being distracted by Bon Jovi music
The real Jersey Devil was the family we met along the way. ❤
The real historical backstory made this episode most refreshing. Excellent research Katy !:-)
New Simon channel, "Into the Circus" where he just learns circus acts.
Sounds good. He is a clown.
Honestly sometimes I’m surprised they don’t cut out the parts where Simon discovers the existence of step children but I appreciate it 16:05
Do not rely on Simon for contraceptive advice. 😂😂😂
I wouldn’t trust him to pour water, he’s too thick.
There's that old joke - what do you call people who rely on the withdrawl method? - Parents!
No, its not that effective.
@@vic5015 wait, I'm sorry.. are you saying that not having sex is ineffective as birth control?
Right?
For some reason I'm completely unsurprised to learn Simon can juggle.
Do the Orang Pendek.
I watched a skeptics show one time where the interviewee said ”If you gave me $100 dollars and I had to bet on the existence of the bigfoot, the yeti, and the orang pendek - I’d put $9 dollars on the orang pendek, $1 dollar on the yeti, and keep $90 dollars for myself.”
Some say the spirits of Christopher and Paulie Walnuts still inhabit that abandoned carpet van to this day
iirc from another story, that's not what Mother Leeds said, not entirely. A lot of her other children died young (infant or toddler) from illness (as is what happened back then), so when she found out she was pregnant with her 13th child she pleaded "Let them be healthy, or if they are not, let them be a devil." or something along those lines. She wanted her child to live either way, either has a healthy baby, or a living demon.
Edit: blasphemy. the hammer-headed bat is an adorable sky puppy
I'm a Jersey boy here. Grew up with the legend. Love the episode Simon!
The alternate New Jersey state birds are the Orange Traffic Cone and the mosquito.
the state flower should be a dirty needle tbh
The mosquito is the State Bird for quite a few states!
in Saskatchewan, our mosquitos wear leather jackets, ride harleys, and travel in packs
I know someone who did fire breathing for years, in the end they had to stop as the flammable liquid she used for it essentially destroyed her teeth. I'm not talking a cracked tooth or anything, I'm talking about her teeth becoming so weak and brittle some of them essentially began to disintegrate or break off. Ten+ years later and she is still facing over 10K of dental work to get them fixed.
5:05 Fact check.... Coitus interruptus is an incredibly unreliable method of contraception, to the point that medical professionals strongly advise against relying on it as a form of birth control (at least, not without combining it with a more effective method). It has a failure rate of around 1-in-5 and is only a few percentage points (
also I love how he just assumes this woman in the legend had body autonomy when marital r*pe wasn't even a crime in most of the States until the nineties. The 1990s!
Thank you! Simon needs to learn to not run his mouth when he doesn't know what he's talking about...
Yoooooooo Katie!! I love you for this!! 2 years of pushing!! I'm so happy!!
As a former fire breather one of the safety measures is having a clean shaved face. That was a lesson I had to learn the hard way. Fire juggling is also a fun experience if you have the skills.
Well that’s Simon out of the game, then 😆
Hey, I knew someone 2 decades ago (perhaps more) that did it as well! But she used a grease material in the face, hands and so on... Do you have any idea of what could it be?
She said it was to protect against the worst burns...
@@MCsCreations I haven't heard of grease being used personally, but there is a fire retardant gel that's used in stunts that give that type of protection. You can find a few different brands through online stores.
@@MCsCreations the only greasy substance that comes to mind that might possibly be used is Vaseline.
@@Vee_of_the_Weald lmao that's half the reason I stopped doing it. I'm all about that beard life now 😂
didn't expect Manos the Hands of Fate to get mentioned. I had Torgo's theme as my ringtone for a bit and it creeped my roommate out
New Jerseyan here. I’ve woken up at 2AM to get some water and heard a loud screech from outside. It was like someone getting chased and howling/screaming at the same time. But it was from an animal. I looked it up and that’s the sound of a Barn Owl! But it sure as hell sounded like the devil.
Lifelong New Jersey resident, I remember first hearing the legend when I was a kid. The person who told it to me said the Jersey Devil would come anywhere in the state when you said its name 3 times.
Well, in 6th grade, we were on a week long overnight school trip, and I told one of my friends the legend. I didn’t realize he was superstitious, so he got very upset at that part. So upset that he ran away screaming in terror, and couldn’t hear me when I said “hey! We’re in Massachusetts right now, so we’re safe!”

New jersey devil has only ever been shown accurately for about 3 seconds in "what we do in the shadows" - no other correct depiction in media. lol
Dear Simon fire breathing was a one day corse for me in the Netherlands . I do have to say that the instructor told me that in many countries they give terrible ad dangerous corses with incorrect fuel. But even with the correct fuel(a specific type of lamp oil) if you get it in your long even a little bit it wil permanently handicap you. Swallowing it is not great but not to bad.
Also after doing it you wil want to change shirt and shampoo your beard. So its a cool trick at bbq’s but also a bit of a hassle.
2 of the last 2 episodes of CC or DtU have featured "coitus interuptus"
Love to see it
Another word for it: retreat.
Also. Weird NJ is the best. Good publication documenting local urban legends and other weird local stuff. I used to live down the street from a few landmarks detailed by their book.
I'm a Jersey native and I'm so ready for this!! I live in Montana now and NO one knows about it. New Jersey has a lot of weird shit 🤔🤔 I feel like the older the state/place, the more baggage 😅
Can confirm that statement. I grew up in Connecticut and I have to say there are a lot of ghost stories and colorful characters connected to that state, especially in Fairfield County. I mean you got Mark Twain who spent his last years in the town I grew up in (Redding), the Leatherman who would travel through Fairfield County, the White Lady of Union Cemetery in Easton, Connecticut, the frog people (I had a guidance coach in high school who claimed she saw them in the day light), Putnam Park (which apparently is haunted according to one statement on a video made by the channel formerly known as the Speakeasy), a “Devil’s Cave” in the town Mark Twain spent his last years in, an occasional visit from the Melonheads (although they are said to be more commonly found in Litchfield County)… yeah New England has a lot of weird and bizarre in that neck of the woods.
I dunno, Hawaii has more baggage than anyone almost and they are newest ha
@@mirandagoldstine8548 New England for sure is up there for haunted/paranormal/weird shit, maybe worldwide 😳😅 Maryland has a lot going on, and we used to camp up in the Catskill Mountains in upstate NY and there's some CREEEPY stuff in the woods there 😂 obviously when you're a kid and your parents play into it that doesn't help but growing up in the Pine Barrens (Bayville) was a trip itself.
@@calebbean1384 it's settled, Simon has to do a video for each state.
@@j3rs3yjak3FIU Oh I can confirm. I think it’s because New England has quite a blood-stained past (there were a lot of wars fought in Maine alone) followed by Tennessee and Kentucky. Of course I can’t forget about North Carolina, Georgia and South Carolina, especially Charleston, Savannah and Asheville. Asheville has the Omni Grove Park Inn which is said to be haunted by a particularly friendly ghost (and by friendly I mean it, she is especially fond of kids) and Biltmore (which is said to have a number of spirits roaming the halls) and I can’t neglect the Moon eyed people who are said to have once lived in the states on the southern Appalachian mountain range. Meanwhile Savannah has a large number of ghost stories associated with it.
Simon, Remus' fear of peacocks is valid - I've been chased by every bloody one I've ever encountered and it's horrifying 😂
Probably a good thing Simon's daughter learnt about how terrible peacocks are in a controlled environment. I was going for a walk along down my quiet, country road one morning when I was about six years old, when the neighbours' new peacock/peahen pair charged out from behind a tree and tried to rearrange my little face. I ran all the way home screaming, and they chased me to my house. They only turned around and left because my dog came charging out barking, and chased them away.
I have lived here in southern New Jersey, my whole life, love this video totally dig the lore ,I have lived in Atlantic county most of my life I have been to Leeds point I have seen the birthplace of the jersey devil it is an amazingly wonderful tale.
Ty bud.
Living in bordentown for my late child hood to my 20's the Bonaparte home was famous land mark and there were tunnels we use to explore. Was neat living in a historic small town bordentown city.
31:35 "It looks like one of those fake classic pictures of a cryptid." No, it's even worse than that. 😂
about a decade ago I was working a music festival in the Pine barrens where my dad was coming to pick me up but pulled into the wrong road that led to him getting stuck in sand. He called for a tow truck that couldnt find him and then it got dark and he called me up and was freaking out. He said he thinks he is looking at the Jersey Devil. he described it as glowing eyes and a mouth that was full of fire.
my dad was not the type of person to just say shit like this and he was afraid to get out of the car to pee. he finally got out while on the phone with me and he said it was back ducking between the trees. next thing I know I hear a blood curdling scream followed by my dad rushing to get back in the car. next thing that happened was a huge bolt of lightning and it instantly started to pour a rain so heavy that if you were in a storm like this for 10 minutes you would remember it for the rest of your life. it went on for hours. everywhere on the property was covered by a foot of water in seconds and went on and on.
the next morning after finally getting pulled out he made it to me. I can tell he was really terrified and was never the same. he then developed dementia and im left with a horror story that I will always remember.
This doesn’t sound like much fun for neither him nor you. 🫂
Finally caught up binging the DTU back catalogue, and now happy I'm engaging with up to date videos 😅 Love this channel, keep up the good work Simon and Basement Dwellers ❤
YES! FINALLY! my cold nj heart is warmed by this
Just to let you know, Simon, I am a born and raised jersey girl. who absolutely loves the jersey devil. Huge Jerzey Devil hockey fan! And in October, I will be traveling to Prague to see the jersey devils play. It would be a dream of mine to meet you. Because I am a huge fan of yours also
fire breathing can be dangerous, you would want someone to be your fire safety person and you would start by spitting water and trying to get it in a fine mist, distance, and consistency. I was part of a fire dancing group that performed during in the inner circle at burning man. i never practiced to much in breathing but i was able to do it after an hour of practice for a quick performance but i was nowhere need a pro at it. it is fun. fire swallowing is cooler to me especially if you can learn to tunnel.
Simon, over 6ft _is_ roughly 2mtrs, depending on how much "over" were talking about it. One of the only imperial to metric conversions I can do - 1yard (and some change) equals 1mtr, and 1yard is 3ft.
1 metre is 39.37 inches or 3 feet 3.37 inches.
I am listening to this on a beach in the Bahamas, drinking a beer. Best end of a holiday.
The New Jersey episode, finally! My fellow New Jersey folks, who's ready for Simon to fundamentally misunderstand the state?
You mean like how he said Joisey as though anyone from here has ever called it that lol. Jersey shore Fed our already terrible reputation.
@@seditt5146 seriously. Jersey Shore was absolute trash.
I love the part where he said the Jersey Devil was Australian. We've got 2 hyper offensive things in under 5 minutes
What's there to misunderstand?
Your state is most famous for being the state where every boxer's girlfriend's sister lives.
I'm here to be hilariously let down 😂
I love the timing of this as i was telling a friend earlier this week about the jersey devil as she's in Canada but I'm surprised that Joseph Bonaparte being in Bordentown is even funnier to me being that I live in Bordentown currently.
I think there's a plaque somewhere in the town noting it. My brother lives there too, and I remember it was mentioned at some point.
woot woot I am from Jersey and have heard countless non sensical stories about monsters that haunt the pine barrens you have to put the emphasis on the j get it from your stomach and be like yo the Jersey devil
Same, I am from cumberland county, only like 30-45 mins away from that area and am convinced he is just a crackhead looking for scrap copper in the woods.
Boop boop
A friend and I went to Jersey to buy gatorades at the Clerks Quick Stop, see Asbury Park, and search for the Jersey Devil in the Pine Barrens. Unfortunately, the area of the Pine Barrens was closed due to wildfires but 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
I’m hitting the like button off the bat because the Jersey Devil is hilarious to me and Simon is gonna rip it
An englishman not knowing what the Anglican church is is the fucking funniest shit to me. Church of England it's also called. Cakes and tea with the vicar or DEATH!
"Coitus Interruptus"
Yeah that has caused an awefull lot of teen pregnancies cause people think that actually works......
Katy I love you using what should be the official measurement of the channel the Danny Devito.
Oh have you thought of doing a video on the Antônio Vilas-Boas abduction case? That is one that could be a lot of fun.
*lol I came here to also comment about loving the Danny Devito measurement.* 😂
i like this take on reading the script while simon give his takes on it. adds depth and hilarity. stay healthy fact boi, we need you.
As a retired circus performer who specialised in fire performance, I can confirm that fire breathing is incredibly awesome
Dear Remus; I am 44 years old and still afraid of turkeys for the same reason. STAY STRONG, LITTLE SISTER! We will defeat the Bird Menace one day.
I love Katy's creatures of the week!
Let me know if you’ve got any other ideas!
To add to your peacock story my son as a toddler are loved or than anything to chase chickens. He didn’t always understand what chickens were. We went to Edinburgh zoo and he spent a large time chasing pigeons, shouting chicken chicken. We went to an animal park which had more free range animals He chased some chickens. Then he saw the Peacock and started chasing it really excited shouting chicken loudly, the Peacock allowed him to chase for a couple of minutes, then stopped, turned and chased after him. It was very sketch showesk.
Sometimes, weird unexplainable stuff happens. I don't particularly believe in the NJ devil, but I've had my laptop knocked off my lap, something sitting on my bed, stuff just fall, unexplained scratches show up. My ex said the back of her knee was burning. On the backside of her knee where 6 scratches, three straight down and 3 curved across. She was wearing capries. If you've had any training in abuse, you'd know the backside of the knee is the least likely place for bruises or scratches to appear. My boy suddenly started crying while we were having dinner. He had two scratches across the back of his neck. There is the chance that he had a stringed backpack and might have rope burned his neck, but he would have probably noticed the burn before we sat down and had dinner.
I can't be the only one who thinks Joseph Bonaparte got scared by a Canadian Goose...
Its extra funny they showed the angry girl in the WWE crowd after the Peacock story, cus WWE programming streams on Peacock in the U.S. 😂😂
12:09 Remus seems absolutely adorable lol
Simon, known British person: wtf is an Anglican?
We don’t call it that in England.
It’s known as The Church of England, it’s original name, with the term Anglican coming into use in the 16th century and being widely adopted in the 19th century.
@@nontrickpony that doesn't stop it from being funny
@@nontrickpony so the term has been around for 500 years and more known within the last 200 years and he still didn’t know it? Thats crazy.
@@nontrickponyI call it the Tax Dodging Church
I waa wonderin when you said "official state demon", I was like, huh? Each state has it's own demon? Like a state bird? Why have I never heard of this???
Always did wonder where the New Jersey Devils ice hockey team got its name from.
Joseph Bonaparte must be the third best known Bonaparte, because of Napoleon III.
A SimonTube channel: Fact Boy learns Circus tricks and accidentally sets his beard on fire
I lived for 7 years on Leeds Point Road, just down the street from the ruins of the Leeds house. Several TV/film/newspaper crews stopped by and interviewed the locals. Anyway, it was kinda gloomy and spooky out there on cool, foggy nights but otherwise totally natural.
"I don't know what Anglican is." Hasn't Simon mentioned going to church school? Apparently it REALLY didn't stick. (Anglican is Church of England, Episcopalian is the American version.)
There are a lot of things in Simon’s education that didn’t stick 😆
Seriously! In the UK you are either Catholic or Anglican and the difference is pretty obvious!
I think he disregarded religion pretty early on.
I’m England we still call it it’s original name. The Church of England.
Yup he literally was an Anglican!
animal planet did a special on all these mythological creatures, like the chupacabra and the yeti, and I was like 5 when I saw the episode on the jersey devil, it was horrifying and made me cry
One of our favorite stories to tell is about the time my daughter was properly attacked by our peacock. She was nearly 2 years old, and the peacock had just begun to show off some fancy feathers, but it was not to be. She had some pretty nasty pecks all over her head, including one directly above her eyebrow, and some bruising and scrapes on her shoulders where he'd dug in his claws, but she's all better now. I cannot say the same for the peacock. 🤣
I'm from Jersey, bout half hour or so from Pine barrens and can assure you he is real, he is a crackhead that got lost in the pines and now is doomed to search the woods for scrap metal for eternity.
We have a few of those here in California, wonder if they are related.....spooky
If you encounter him in the woods, do you wake up afterwards with all of your fillings missing?
I always enjoy Katy’s scripts. 😄
Ah, Jersey Devil. I'm telling a Jersey Devil story next weekend. It's one of those bits of local folklore that not local people...maybe shouldn't tell. Take it away, Simon!!
"This is a local folklore, for local people!" 😊
My scary crazy aunt (legitimately crazy) used to whisper this story to me when we would visit her house in rural NJ. I would sit there in anxiety and scan the skies over and over. Didn't help when you've seen Jeepers Creepers lol
Going back down the rabbit hole , Love the Fire eater explanation , then Simon's like sick i wanna learn.
Today we witnessed the seeding of the next channel of the Whistler Empire: Simon's Skills.
I recently saw an ad for holidays in New Jersey and thought 'The Channel Islands probably are quite nice this time of year'.
I had moments of laughter and joy whilst watching this funny guy
The only reason Joseph Napoleon was King of Naples and later King of Spain was because his conquering brother needed a puppet/loyal ally on the throne if the places he conquered.
Noooo, ‘Fact boy’- “Coitus interruptus” is absolutely NOT effective. I have a 10 month old who wouldn’t exist if that were true!!
Isn't there a joke along the lines of - another term for those who use the withdrawal method for birth control is "future parents"?
Simon continuing to promote coitus interruptus as effective based on a statistic that depends on the important factor of, "if done properly" and completely ignoring all the other protections condoms provide that the pullout method doesn't 😂
There are loads of statues of breasted dogs randomly in north Yorkshire if I remember right. Me and a colleague noticed a shocking number of them when we were working on a project around there
you guys having heatwave meanwhile it's winter up here in estonia. somehow april forgot it's supposed to be spring
I find cryptids really entertaining however I'm a logical person and know that in all likelihood they don't exist. I like scary stories and the lore behind these legends are interesting. I love that this channel takes a level headed aproch to these topics that most media covering alleged supernatural events don't. Getting down to the origins of these myths and trying to sort out why they still continue is a part of cryptid lore that isn't often discussed either. And of course it's fun to watch Simon's brain implode as he tries to comprehend how some people are so gullible😆
Hockey is the only reason I even know about the Jersey Devil lol.
32:20 looks like they threw a stuffed animal in the air 😂
My Simon Cinematic Universe is taking shape, as the continuity between videos is complete.
14:48 Your old newscaster’s voice is quite good lol best accent to date!
Finally, my favorite cryptid!
Mine is the Squonk. It's simultaneously sad and hilarious. It's worth the look up if you haven't heard of it.
Two points: 1) Most of the time when people pass out due to a sudden shock or fright, they tend not to recall the actual act of passing out (as opposed to when people pass out more gradually from a recurring medical condition), but they do tend to remember what shocked or frightened them. Thus, _"I got scared - and then it flew away,"_ can be put down to their having passed out, and filling in the gaps after waking up. 2) There are countless verifiable sightings of animals, which belong to a normally-quadruped species, learning to walk on their hind legs only, do their front legs being disabled or defective in some way. When both these points collide [POOF] Jersey Devils appear!
If you mean abstinence when you say "coitus interruptus", then yes it is very effective. The pull out method is not
Fun NJ Fact: The ones that people see are the runts that were exiled for being unfit to join the legion.
No one in New Jersey actually says "Joisey" and I'm not even sure why anyone thinks they do.
