Gi makes a J sound. Giraffe, Giant, Gibberish. It only makes sense. But English is stupid. What about Git, Gimp or Gill? But English is stupid. FUN FACT! One of the easiest ways of telling whether an English word that starts with G comes from a Germanic or a Romance language is to look at its pronu...

March 25, 3019 (or March 25 1419 in the Shire Reckoning)

If there's nobody out there, then what was that noise?

Someone will eventually think to call them "Land Lobsters" or something and then it'll be easy selling. The typical tactic that I've seen people use is hiding them in candy. In the town where I live, you can even go to the 7-Eleven and find, right at the checkout counter, LOLLIPOPS WITH D...

Actually, about two billion people eat bugs as a dietary staple . It's not that weird. (Side note: I have eaten grillos fritos – literally, Spanish for "fried crickets". They don't actually taste like that much: actually, they're kind of bland. The only real taste is the massive amounts of...

Herpes Simplex Two.

What was the first walled city in the Middle East?

Oh– by the way: Spring is OVERRATED. WINTER IS WHERE IT'S AT, BITCHES.

And it also seems that it's universally agreed that this video is the ultimate video. I… *dramatic pause* … disagree . (dun dun DUN!) While I was watching it, I was definitely thinking, "Oh, it's very clever and well done", but it never really made me smile. Not that I don't get it– Man C...

Actually, he became an indie rock musician.

Porn: Two or more persons engaged in the exchanging of genetic material, captured via a photographic or cinematographic medium.

Holy crap, I just QWOPed SO hard at that. Incredible work, gents. I think that this sketch is going to be the Blue's Clues equivalent of "Snow, Glass, Apples" for me. A work derived from another, older work of fiction that takes it into a new, twisted, dark place and colors your impression...

EAST Pittsburgh Penguins (1) vs. New York Islanders (8) While the Penguins may have the advantage of vastly superior numbers and the ability to slide on their bellies on ice, as well as their dancing skills, I believe that the Islanders will be able to capture, kill, or devour the Penguins, due to t...

Books: Because real life is overrated.

I just pretend that ASoIaF ended at book three.

It's better that way.

auberginequeen: There is no dark side of the moon. As a matter of fact, it's all dark.

AlexanderDitto: Yo hablo español casi fluente, y quiero mejorarlo. ¿Es posible que nosotros podamos tener un hilo para los hispanohablantes? Yo la quisiera muchísimo.

It's getting eerie– what's this cheery singing all about?

Lord of Light, Roger Zelazny.

I've read it three times. It might just be the best book ever written.

Elomin: Oh, of course they were grim. In fact, the actual medieval versions of the fairy tales were worse, even creepier than most modern horror stories. They couldn't get more gritty if you sprayed them with honey and rolled them with grit. What I'm objecting to is the "faux" grit. The ki...

I actually don't mind the fact that popular culture is oversaturated with vampires and zombies and dystopian teenagers.

What I ACTUALLY hate are dark, gritty reimaginings of Grimm's fairy tales.

Fayili: Thanks! That handout looks quite useful. It's actually the kind of thing I'm looking for– while many of the characters are actual gods, Valkyries, giants, etc., I need a list that I can use for minor character names.
