Some of the Jehovah’s Witnesses jokes have been translated into Swedish. Very fun. Du vet att du är ett Jehovas vittne om… 1. Om din reaktion inför ett kors är densamma som en vampyrs, kan du vara ett JV. 2. Om du tror att demoner kan krympa sig själva för att komma in i smycken, möbler, böcker eller blÃ¥ smurfar, dÃ¥ kan du vara ett JV. 3. Om du förknippar siffrorna 1 till 5 med timmar pÃ¥ en rapportblankett, kan…

Last week, I saw others of the same type out in the woods; those were even more gigantic – three times as big. Does anyone know what kind of mushrooms these are?
