I thought sacrificing a RAM was more of a religious rite, not part of an arranged marriage negotiation 😀

Years later, hunters found Rodney's skeleton deep in the woods of northern Ontario. Scratched onto a boulder face by the bones were his last words: "I _knew_ I should have made that left turn at Wemotaci"

I'm midway through the audiobook of Lightning Runes, and now am picturing every trip Harry takes to the bathroom as something he deducts from his taxes as a "research expense". As Jack Mitchell would say, if you know, you _know_! :-)

The first discussion from NHC on the newly formed system (27/1500z) explained the coincidence and that Dolly was first used as part of the 6 rotating lists of Atlantic storm names back in 1996. Four other Atlantic storms in the 50's-70s had the name Dolly as well.

Looking at the forecast for the next several days, “It’s hot as hell in Philadelphia!” Is once again quite appropriate to be sung.

Note to self: How does one earn the respect of an esteemed historian? Demonstrate the ability to pull a relevant historical needle from the massive haystack of bygone information. Bonus points if one does so in a witty fashion. Kudos to you!

I’ve seen it mathematically proven that a box when tossed will rotate stably on two of its three axes, but will always tumble if tossed on its third axes. Check while empty!

This is Picard’s personal shuttle. It is well known that he demands his Earl Grey be served as rapidly as possible so that it is as hot as possible.

I’ve always thought the phrase, “voting against their own interests” was a stupid political slogan. Because it immediately makes clear that the one using it has no clue what “their own interests” actually are, and is instead substituting his/her own definition of what those “interests” should be

Upon further study, I think the Invisigoths _are_ in that picture. They are a little-known tribe that settled in Ireland after being accused of witchcraft. Their invisibility proves their mastery of the O’Celt arts.

Looks like someone painted over the Invisigoths side. It was Vandal-ized

The achievement text reads: "Show the critters of Azeroth how much you /love them" Basically you click on an animal to target it, and type /love. Over the course of the 20 years the game's been around, they've created 11 achievements riffing off of Julio's song :-)

As a meteorologist with a long-time interest in econ, I'll take trying to out-guess Mother Nature any day. Economists have to predict the behavior of people who are all too often irrational and frequently idiotic to boot. Weather forecasting is easy by comparison!
