  1. This Day In History

    And no-one ever as much as even mentioned Lister's faithful companion Rimmer.

    I am no huge Pokémon buff so I am not sure. Are they going to be some sort of Team Rocket parody?
  4. Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)

    Nah, but it's not strange. There's a lot of old hacks out there.
  5. Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)

    Sheesh, these drugs have all sorts of weird side effects. I heard that someone blamed Ambien for them making racist remarks.
  6. This Day In History

    This was actually true, but fortunately kindly natives helped the struggling colonists out with supplies of food and instructions in how to hunt and survive. Surely this kindness would be repaid later on.
  7. This Day In History

    If he had, I am sure he would have shot it down. Possibly not expect. But they had their hopes. It was their belief that if the Belgians merely rolled over and let the Germans have their way, they might pass through so fast that it could have become a political fait accompli and that other countries, principally England, would merely have issued formal diplomatic protests. But because of the 'unwarranted' Belgian resistance the advance got so bogged down that England was eventually forced to declare war in spite of considerable reluctance to do so at even this late date. The Germans resented this stiff Belgian resistance and as a result treated the Belgians very harshly to 'teach them a lesson.' Rather to the surprise of the somewhat befuddled General Staff of the Germans, the Belgians resented this and provided them with considerable trouble throughout the occupation.

    Thank you for keeping us posted, Prof. I hope everything will turn out okay.
  9. Word of Dan Discussion

    No, it is a large melon-like fruit of a plant of the gourd family, with smooth green skin, red pulp, and watery juice.
  10. Word of Dan Discussion

    That seems kind of sad. Especially since we know that what Elliot is really good at is adding two and two together and get the cube root of watermelon.

    I include sitting on the flatbed of a Ford pickup truck in that as long as I have my bedroll to sit on and my backpack to lean against.
  12. Story Wednesday August 1, 2018

    There is a "This is CANON" image in the commentary beneath the first comic in the story.
  13. This Day In History

    That depends. If that power happens to be Monaco or the Vatican, it might be a bit more even match.
  14. Word of Dan Discussion

    This is actually a big problem for me. With magic going mainstream, it becomes possible for Tedd to grant that wish not just for Sam but for any trans people who wish a complete transition. Obviously this would result in a huge legal mess (just to point out one consequence) as well as backlash from the religious right, but to help just one and then stop seems... wrong to me. At the very least, they should realise that this is a fight they will have to face at some point and prepare for it.
  15. Story Wednesday August 1, 2018

    Fair enough, but given how obtuse he had been about it in story till now, I personally am not yet convinced.
  16. Story, Monday July 30, 2018

    That reminds me of one of my favourite Peanuts strips ever.
  17. Story, Monday July 30, 2018

    And a big reason for a dramatic increase in fratricide, too.
  18. Story, Monday July 30, 2018

    Trust me on this. You have a LOT of company. Me, I can readily make a fool of myself in my NATIVE language. And it is a personal dictum of mine that every time I learn a new language, I also learn a new way of making a fool of myself. Um, that depends on whether it would only be land he actually had a claim on at the time of his death. And with that many heirs, the kingdoms would get REALLY small.
  19. Story, Monday July 30, 2018

    Me too, but I think you may have meant 'descendants'? Still. It would result in hundreds of millions very small kingdoms. And probably not many subjects in each who would all be immigrants anyway. Hrm.
  20. This Day In History

    I am actually pretty sure that it is much older than that and that it was probably a slave that first came up with it.
  21. Story, Monday July 30, 2018

    Now that would be an interesting puzzle to sort out, trying to divide his kingdom up between his current heirs. *scratches head*
  22. Story Wednesday August 1, 2018

    Clearly nobody else. So far it is only her who is interested in him. Once she finds out what Edward's specific tastes are, it's magical swords time.
  23. Story, Monday July 30, 2018

    Sure, but try writing anything in English without those five letters.
  24. This Day In History

    With all too few exceptions. The final sack of Carthage might have been one, but the Romans really went to great lengths there. It was actually a demotion. Until then he had called himself Lord Supreme Grand Marshal of the Auxiliaires Americaines. I dunno, but I can't help but wonder if they were the ones who built the USS Yorktown as well. That durn thing survived so hard a beating for so long that it was reported killed three times before it actually sank.
