  • drove a balrog out of its natural habitat

    Akshully, they tried to keep it there. Imprisoned because of its religious beliefs! Killed while attempting escape!

  • One is high fantasy, the other is satire. They may be technically very similar, but as far as tone and mood they are very different beasts. Like Star Wars and Spaceballs.

  • Kirk penetrates an alien organism in order to destroy its reproductive organs.

  • The Romans named their years after who was elected Consul that year. There were two Consuls, so you'd say "in the consulship of Jones and Smith". 59BC was Julius Caesar and some other guy. The other guy was so unimportant that Romans joked by calling it the consulship of "Julius and Caesar".

  • The researchers say they derived the name of its genus, hotwheels, directly from the beloved toy due to the structure of the male spiders' reproductive organs. [...] "Because of the lack of nerves in the palpal bulb, the challenges faced by a male spider attempting to copulate can be likened to those of a person attempting to adjust a complex, delicate mechanism in the dark, using an elongate, elaborately formed fingernail"

  • All participants select their own random whole number and publish it to the group. All participants add all the numbers together. The result is either odd or even (heads/tails) and everyone arrives at the same result independently.

  • Annual commemorative pastry observance

  • plea for 1/2 that was rejected

    The rejected plea was for 6 months.

  • That's not exactly what happened.

    Aaron committed suicide before his case went to trial, and so he was never convicted let alone sentenced. 35 years was never even likely; had it gone to trial there's every reason to think he'd have been acquitted outright, or at worst given a slap on the wrist. Not that he should have even been charged, of course.

  • It goes on to say that they did this in public while recording themselves.

  • "Richard Dawkins confirms intelligent design mostly likely explanation"

  • Destabilizing the system is the point. Trump is just the tool.

  • I am endeavoring, ma'am, to construct a cosmic force laser sword using stone knives and bearskins.

  • Not a bot. But also not an idiot, which is the target audience here.

  • It's the second largest multi-ethnic democracy on Earth.
