I just opened this fortune cookie
"Engage in group activities that further transformation".
Did I get a cookie intended for Moperville?

Not your usual spin on, "I had my Explorer fixed."
 

You needed a different surgeon. A gastric bypass isn't supposed to go through the ankles.

Yeah, if your horse is excreting ethanol at that concentration, there is definitely something weird going on.

In fact, in our universe the concept of "stationary" is meaningless and what object we assign it to is completely arbitrary.
You say I'm doing push-ups; I've defined that my back is stationary and I'm bench-pressing the planet.

I hope you remember to clean up your workout equipment when you're done
I hate it when the guy in front of me leaves the 13,170,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pound weight as a sweaty mess

In the few RPGs I've run, I've strenuously tried to avoid doing that - or at least being that blatant about it. (If I want the party to go right and they go left, I'd rather quickly retcon the geography than somehow force them to turn around.)
However, I'm more of a story-teller than a game-master, so I wasn't always successful.

I heard about an instance where a person managed to get a biblical-literal-creationist to invoke evolution to protect that belief - and he used only one verse (Genesis 1:30) and one animal (a pet cat) to do so.
Of course, if he'd used the previous verse and a certain fruit (manchineel), he might have killed the creationist. But the odds are he didn't have any of that fruit, or any others that would do the job, on hand.

Yep, #32. I will not fly into a rage and kill a messenger who brings me bad news just to illustrate how evil I really am. Good messengers are hard to come by.

The violin, obviously. You've all heard the fuss about Sax and violins.

Besides, the intent is to have the one player out, not one player out and two others busy carrying him off the field.

For a moment I read that as 'Tedd, can you enchant forums?'
The thought kind of appeals to me. If he could put some sort of TERF and troll slapping spell on the forums, I might finally be able to resign from my post as moderator.

Heh, that reminds me of one I read where the DM decided that his players were over-reliant on magic. So he created a monster who was immune to all forms of magic damage, both direct and indirect... and had ONE hit point. He nearly managed a TPK before someone hit the monster with something non-magical... accidentally.

Hilbert's Hotel gets a lousy rating on ALL review sites, because the staff will wake you up an infinite number of times every night and force you to change rooms.

Well, for various reasons they've been reclassified and are now usually referred to as Homo sapiens neanderthalensis. Does that help?
(By the way, the guy who originally dubbed them Homo neanderthalensis later changed his mind and denied that they were Homo anything.)
There's also Homo sapiens denisova, a shorter subspecies that apparently interbred a bit with Homo sapiens neanderthalensis in Siberia and then died out in that area, and later interbred with Homo sapiens sapiens in southeast Asia before dying out there... and with some other group of genus Homo  (but definitely not H.s.neanderthalensis or H.s.sapiens, and probably not H.heidelbergensis or H.erectus, and those are all the plausible candidates we know of) somewhere along the way.
Note: the taxonomy of all these groups is still being debated.
