Is that the one Mono likes?
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Not worse than British Verdun.

Is that a bazooka? Then it can't be the SCW.

Ah good point. That would make it anachronistic.

It's a hand-canon. Perfectly period for 17th century.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

That does look like a 17th century bolt action rifle as well :hmm:

Who cares?  All they are doing is yelling "PEW PEW PEW" anyway.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Doesn't look like a Bible to me.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

While Twitter is a cesspool of filth, my timeline is carefully selected. It's mostly games stuff, history posts, nerd stuff, and cute animals.

One of my favorite accounts is Uninteresting Photographs. It's what it says on the tin, a Twitter account dedicated to the dull and mundane.

Damnit. I typed that with the other n and it looked weird to me so I took it out.  <_<
