No fucking way - he would look ridiculous with his hair dyed platinum blonde.
They could have him gone white (and dirty).

Have to admit, I'm a junkie for his stuff and Alt-Shift-X's material.  There really is a lot of subtext to mine out of the tale so far and the video interpretations give me a lot more value out of the word--and also inspire re-reads.
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.

That was interesting, though I don't see how telepathy/telekinesis isn't considered magical.  :hmm:
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

That is kind of what happened to my once blond locks  :(

Already saw it, but that one definitely competes for the Tinfoil Crown.  It is, of course, also admitted by him that it is a really unplausible theory.

If ASOIAF turns out to actually be Sci Fi, Martin will have to hide from the mob, forever. It would also be the most epic troll.

He is on record in interviews as saying the reason for the long winters is purely magical and nothing to do with a strange orbit or anything scientific.
So.....I guess not, but as you say it would be an epic troll

A guy recently sneaked into the area where they're currently shooting what is supposed to be the Tower of Joy scene, the castle of Zafra, in Guadalajara, and recorded a short video:

Latest internet theory:

Jon Snow and Meera Reed are twins.

Dumb theory.  Right up there with Howland Reed being the High Septon or Roose Bolton being a centuries-old vampire.
