You're going to have to use a left-handed screwdriver to open the valve on the decompressor. And don't forget to top off the headlight fluid when you're finished.

Give me a minute, I need to figure out how this fits into my "donut earth" theory.

Donuts! Is there anything they can't do?

"It was a hot night in the City of Angels when a leggy blonde walked into my office. She had 13, maybe 14 legs. Way too many. "That's a lot of legs for a dame," I suggested to her eldritch form. She glanced my way, and rolled her eyes at me. I picked them up and rolled them back."

Some people think filling farm animals with helium is wrong. I don't judge, though. Whatever floats your goat.

Just for the record (no pun intended), Feast of the Superb Owl is a great band.

I asked my wife to polish my medieval kit while I went to the pub. I don't understand why she got mad at me--she always said she wanted a night in, shining armor.

Ah, yes, I may be familiar with the story... Harris Portnoy and the Stoned Philosophers, I believe it was called?


The name of the famed lake in Massachusetts isn't "Char­g­a­gogg­man­chaugg­a­gogg­chau­bun­a­gung­a­maugg," it's "Char­gogg­a­gogg­man­chaugg­a­gogg­chau­bun­a­gung­a­maugg." Everybody gets this one wrong, even though it's such an easy name to remember. I don't get it.

Your colleagues are six-year-olds?

The extra H is to honour the House of Hanover, and was used as a ruse to expose Jacobite spies during the rebellions of the 1700s, since their loyalty to the Stuart kings would not allow them to include it.

Sorry.

I made that up.

In the past, I've been told that it's bad for me. Also, I could be doing literally anything else.

For example, watching I Love Lucy.

The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin turbofan engine, straight wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic for the United States Air Force (USAF). Commonly referred to by the nicknames "Warthog" or "Hog", its official name comes from the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, a World War II fighter that was effective at attacking ground targets.

According to accredited military personnel, if one "drives" "the 'hog," then one must "drink it slow." [NSFW]

I prefer finding local spots. Fast food is poison.

King Mithridates VI of Pontus took a small dose of poison every day during his reign, and eventually made himself immune to poison, to the point where, when he was about to be removed from power, he was unable to commit suicide by poison, and was forced to order his bodyguard to stab him to death.

So, I'm guessing what you're saying is that you should eat a little fast food every day in order to prevent your enemies from using it to kill you. Makes sense.

This one's unverified, but too funny not to post:

During the filming of director Michael Bay's 1998 sci-fi disaster film Armageddon, actor Ben Affleck, who had serious reservations about the script from the get-go, asked Bay why NASA would be training deep-core drillers to be astronauts instead of the other way around. Bay's response? "Shut the f$$% up."

From interviews I've seen, Ben Affleck is actually a pretty smart guy. Or, as the citizens of his home city would say, "wicked smaht."

Solanum, the virus responsible for creating zombies in author Max Brooks' The Zombie Survival Guide and its accompanying novel World War Z, shares its name with a large and diverse genus of flowering plants including, among others, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, and bittersweet.

The family of plants that includes Solanum is that of the Solanaceae, which encompasses many genera, including those of chili and bell peppers, Jimsonweed, mandrake root, deadly nightshade, petunias, tobacco, gooseberries, and tomatillos.

Note: while Jimsonweed can turn you into a living zombie and nightshade can make you actually dead, none of the plants listed can turn you into an undead creature. Better keep half an eye on those potatoes, though. You never can trust the damn things.

Further note: due to the close relation of the genera Solanum and Nicotiana, viable crossbreeding is hypothetically possible.

Sure enough. To educate the uneducated requires years of schooling, but to make a living person dead, all you need is a really sharp screwdriver.

What sounds better as a name for a race: Luminarians or Luminars?

Luminarians seems a bit long, but Luminars doesn't roll off the tongue well.

Lumniari, perhaps?

As long as they're not Illumians, we're fine.

Apologies to anyone who now has to cope with the memory that Illumians were a thing.

I remember them existing (Races of Destiny came out right at the peak of my gaming years), but I don't exactly remember them being a *thing*.

Their name sounds like Illuminati. Coincidence?
