  1. I enjoy Robert Asprin's Myth series. For that matter I enjoyed the Theives World books, which have material by him.

    In the Dragonlance series, besides the original books (which I adored) I also really enjoyed the short stories books, a set of three that came out right afterwards. Tales, maybe? (My daughter's name is Silvara, and she could certainly pull off a tiny, four year old dragon.)

    I love Mercedes Lackey, the Vanyel books and all the Herald books, and pretty much all her stuff. And also Anne McCaffrey.

    I also love Orson Scott Card.

    Are we talking high fantasy or speculative fiction in general, which includes SciFi?

  2. All my coins (American) clearly state what worth they are - the penny says "one cent", the nickel says "Five cents" and the Quarter says "One Quarter Dollar". I don't have any dimes at the moment. <_<

    The ancient Norse used to store cow urine. They waited until it was potent and then they boiled their white clothing in it. They had very white whites.

    Some ancient tooth-cleaning remedies involved urine as well.

    Yummo.

    Lightning can actually enter the human body through the eyes, and a human can be struck and have no burns. Only about 14% of those struck have serious burns. It can take 2 years or more for all of the damage of a lightning strike to show up. Some of the damage that may not immediately show up included areas of necrosis on the internal organs, shorting out of the natural heart pacemaker, and areas of damage in the brain itself.

    (My husband was struck. :sorcerer: )
