Just got off the night shift. Am too non sequitur for even this thread.

Fullmetal Alchemist Jacket: Brotherhood of the Wolf of Wall Street

The universe trolls me every single day.

Bullets on Ryugu (my next album title and a cool little bit of science)

Not news, just some observations of how space battles would be like:
 
 

The Jim Henson Company and Neil Gaiman Are Bringing Back The Storyteller

I really enjoy this guy’s channel.  I’ve wasted far too many hours watching him prepare 18th century recipes.

Strangly when I tried to adopt this for Octopus it did not go over well...

If this an actual thing, get 'em away from the cat!  Chives can be toxic to them (as can garlic & onions).

"...he's in the Mathroom..."

It's an unpleasant holiday weekend when:
 
1. Your pipes back up, so you can't use the dishwasher.
2. The pipe in question is behind the wall in your room, where you have all your important books and miniatures. So you have to move all that stuff around.
3. You have to sleep in the spare room, because your bedroom smells bad.
4. The plumber won't come until the next day.
5. The plumber calls in sick, and the replacement comes in hours later.
6. The replacement tries to overcharge you and won't come down until you say you'll get someone else.
7. You still have to move your stuff back in.

There is a quote, which I've seen attributed to multiple people: "Not only is the Universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine."

"Revenge is a sucker's game."

Ivan?
 
Yes?
 
Did you see the sun rise this morning?
 
Yes. Why?

The Meaning of Renaissance and Medieval Clothing Colors

I find the multiple cross overs: several references all brought together-- to be extra amusing; that's all. 
 
Probably the reason my favorite bit player on the old Tick cartoon was Baby Boomerangutang. 
It just tickles me more. 

Sorry to hear it guys.  

Hi all.  I've just updated my primer designed to introduce players (especially D&D players) to Fantasy Hero.  You can find it here:

I would have just bumped the old thread where we originally hashed it out, but the fabulous archive feature prevents this.  I don't intend to keep updating it on any sort of schedule, but if anyone finds any errors or has any suggestions that don't require too much page count / rewriting I'd be happy to consider them (for instance, I was going through the previous thread and saw someone talking about shield bashing, and added that in).

Ever get the feeling the Cosmos is trolling us?

A group of prison inmates in Florida used the skills that got them into prison in the first place to save the life on a one-year-old girl who had been accidentally locked in a car.
 
The minimum-security prisoners were working on a highway repair when it happened. Their guards watched them, and one actually praised their actions.
 
One of the most famous stories of American writer O. Henry (master of the last-page plot twist) involved a reformed safecracker in a similar position, throwing away his freedom to rescue a child. The consequences weren't so serious in this case, but I was reminded of that story when I read this.

"You all know what nostalgia is: It's a memory of something that never happened."

Citizen Kong

Definitely! 
 
Why waste expensive and delicate technology when you can simply railgun a few dozen cannonballs directly into their flight path?
