That link doesn't include the best part of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre:
Nobody shot me. : -- Frank Gusenberg, his last words, when asked by police who had shot him 14 times with a machine gun in the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

St. Valentine also invented the heart-shaped mylar balloon.
Ah Valentines day, the the Hello Kitty of holidays.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So the most important lesson about Valentine's day that Nilly should learn is to watch out for gangsters carrying machine guns - especially if you happen to be in Chicago in the 1920s.

Or visit an alien society based on a book about Chicago in the 1920s.

What is even happening?
You know, I think Christians and Jews (religious or just cultural) should start a big ecumenical ancient Roman bashing-society.

Oh, of course. I had forgotten about that.

Well, if any of us could build a time machine, it'd be Nilly....

Emeralds are bad choice for a ring that's designed to be worn daily, as are opals, pearls, and other soft stones.
Huh. My mom's engagement ring is an emerald, and she wears it every day. Granted, the stone is teeny, and surrounded by the setting.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Well, emeralds aren't prone to crumbling on touch like a fresh cookie or anything, but there are lots of substances around the house that are harder and could crack one if an impact occurs. Odds are a diamond gets inherited by your kids or grandkids unless your hobbies include working with explosives.
I figured I couldn't say anything to my mom when she bought a replacement diamond engagement ring a few years ago, as she lost the original catching me before I fell out of a pontoon boat as a toddler.
