It's a real shame that people carve up pumpkins and just leave them on their porches to rot. Think of all the pies that could have been!

Why are they only showing the back of Geralt's head in the recap of seasons 1-3 of The Witcher? And he barely even speaks.

I feel bad for the game developers at Amazon who lost their jobs. But if a game described as "LOTR Hot Shelob" never gets made, maybe that's a silver lining.

The beacons of Gondor seem like a significant lightning risk. I wonder how many false alarms they had over the years.

I think it's important to learn something new every day. But the only thing memorable I learned today was that the word beef actually has a plural form: beeves.

Every time I see the words "shook me to my core" or "good vibes only" it reminds me of this vibrating belt exercise machine from the 1950s that was in my grandparents' bathroom.

Sounds like something community manager Smaug would say before deleting all burglars from the Lonely Mountain.
We are working to deploy a game update to address an issue with a burglar skill that is causing game instability. We will continue to look into other avenues for game performance improvement as well. We will have further guidance on the timing of the game update as soon as we know more. #LOTRO

I watched season 2 of The Sandman on Netflix, and the thing that strikes me most is how much love all of the actors put into it. The words they said didn't even matter that much, because they were telling their own story through their emotions. I think they transcended the author.

Why haven't scientists created a potatomato hybrid yet? It would be really convenient to get your fries and ketchup from the same plant.

Character slots are on sale in the LOTRO Store for only 90 LP! That makes creating a new character by far the cheapest option for additional account storage, although it's not always the most convenient option.

It should be illegal for humans or AI to mimic David Attenborough's voice, because a large part of the planet unquestioningly trusts every word he says.

Is it possible that all of us in the United States are in the process of becoming "Florida Man"? That might explain our growing collective stupidity over the past decade. This was apparently a problem recognized long ago.

Foster son: "When it says 1/2 horsepower motor, does it mean the front, back, left, right, top, or bottom half of the horse?"
Me: "That's a gruesome mental image. Let's just call it 1 ponypower instead."
Also, I'm not sure why I know this, but 1/2 HP = 373 watts. How did that fact get in my head?

Our foster son won the viewer's choice award at his school's spring art show. The theme was "Springtime and Birth." His entry was a series of three photos of ketchup packets hatching from roma tomatoes. He's so weird and wonderful.

I wonder if the games industry is worried about running out of recognizable names for games. Maybe in a few years it will end up like prescription medicines and we'll have games like Zixtyq and Karmbalox.
