That was actually Catholic prohibition introduced in VIII century to counter old Germanic rituals that involved consumption of horse-flesh.

Now I want one as a pet.oh cool!
Where are the missile launchers and machine guns? Does he come with his own ordinance?
I don't know, I've had alligator and wasn't particularly impressed. It was like badly-prepared duck: too greasy, dry, and fishy.
But since I have had really bad duck and really good duck, I'm prepared to believe that maybe I just had bad gator.| Kjeldorn |

Tis ok, my BF's dad fed me today. Again I can pretty much feed myself if I choose to. I'm a fluffy kitty like that. If nothing else there's always pizza and more orange cake =)

Uhhh Dino-Riders reference?
(But yea he is kind of cute… made me think of miniature horses except, you know he's a dinosaur ^^')
Wow. Just. Wow.
NobodysWife is doing due diligence on moving her flight, checking TAP Portugal's site every day to see whether she can sneak in a lower-fare ticket.
And what she has learned is that TAP Portugal auctions off its extra seats, starting at a whopping 520 Euros!!!...
That's incredibly scummy.
*Notes down to avoid TAP Portugal, when ever possible*
*Gives hugs to NobodysWife + family as an apology for flight company shenanigans*
Meh. Just learned that one of my former players has cervical cancers. And while the initial treatment last year gave some positive effects, this year, the cancer metastasized to lymph nodes.
*Sends hug to Drejk's player and Drejk for consolation*
Cancer f~@+ing sucks.
If its something you want to talk about, we're here to listen Drejk.

Did you hear about the guy who got bitten by a snake while trying to take a selfie? No one is quite sure how the snake figured out how to take selfies in the first place, but one thing is for sure: They don't like to be interrupted.
I wonder if their tails feel enough like a finger to trick the phones...

Doesn't everyone know Dragons like virgins?
Yup, though I would imagine that most dragons wouldn't really turn down a non-virgin sacrifice either…
Then again I'm no dragon ^^'Also Vidmaster7, there are times I think I could pass for a paladin. I've got lawful down pat if nothing else.
No doubt that Lawful kitty is Lawful ^^
Would love to be a Paladin…if for nothing else then shattering any notions about what a Paladin might be :P
So, in the Azlanti Star Empire AP you get to build your own star ship, so I'm going to buy everything with "Quantum" in the name and will call it the Scott Bakula.
*Gives Cap the stink-eye*
Really "leaping" into the Quantum-concept eh?!

I have already expressed my hatred of those who use their car horns as communication devices, especially those who come into residential neighborhoods and then spend 1-2 minutes repeatedly honking the horn until the person they're picking up comes out. (I don't mind 1-2 beeps. I'm talking the people who lean on the horn in 1-second blasts, repeatedly, every few seconds, until the person comes out.)
And I like to believe there's a special place in Hell for those who do it early in the mornings on holiday weekends.
This morning's moron started honking his brains out just down the block at 7:00 am. I was awake and in the studio in back, and it still bothered the heck out of me. And it was a full 2 minutes of honking before whoever they were picking up came out.
WTF, people! Just get out of your car and knock on the door! It's not like the weather here is "too nasty". It's foggy and 58 degrees. Not miserable weather for getting out of the car.

Drejk, you aren't looking for a virgin sacrifice, are you?
No, I prefer a bit more experienced women...
That reminds me of an old local joke - some of you might vaguely remember there is an actual dragon cave under the castle in my city. Of course that brings the topic of virgins being sacrificed to appease the dragon. The usual follow up is that young ladies, to avoid the fate were often resorting to losing their maidenhood early and that became a tradition even after the city got rid of the dragon.

And even if he didn't wanted to get out of car... Use the ffffing phone!

Lets say that pre-Christian Slavs were not valuing virginity that much... Virgins tended to turn into malicious undead if they died untouched.
Bride wasn't expected to be virgin, to the point in some regions it would be basis of canceling the wedding, under the assumption that there is something wrong with the bride that she hadn't had sex with anyone before...

Almost exactly what I was thinking, when I first saw Mort "quoting" that trope.
Not so much about the dragon under Krakow, but more about the consequences of the trope being common knowledge among the female, or male or other population...
Not that people need much of an excuse to start grinding their tender parts together! :P
