I was not aware that the word "moist" had been cancelled. When did this happen and why? I think it's a perfectly cromulent word.

Apparently over the last decade it's become one of those words that a lot of people react to in a "slightly icky, sexual awkward way" when its used. Helped by a certain creep of some pop-culture and characters shuddering when they hear it.

The evolution of language and how swear words happen I imagine.

Not quite sure being an MBT will be an advantage in a tennis match.  Turret can't traverse quick enough to serve effectively, I'd imagine.

its funny though how most people i know that followed that field of study are so much more inclined to choose fiction over fact... and present it as fact too

The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder.

Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born!


We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did.

My understanding was the naming was intentional to get more vikings to settle in Greenland. False advertising: some things never change...

That's what we were taught but I never thought to look it up for myself until now... well, tomorrow, maybe.

Just sabot that ball and you've got a killer serve

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

The way I remember it, based off memory and no looking it up, there was a viking who was exiled from Iceland. Erik the Red, maybe? I think it was Lief Erickson's dad. Anyway, he sailed off and found a chunk of pretty hard land, but sold it as Greenland to get people to sail west. 

It probably was a bit less harsh than it is today, because there is some evidence there was a warming trend around the time. But it was still pretty harsh and the settlements didn't last long.

Pretty sure I am off on some facts, but that might be the gist. :)

edit: I was closer than I thought! Here is the medieval warming period that made it more hospitable: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age

Wasn't Hitler an artist and an author? Yeah, humanities. 😛

I suppose I just satisfied Godwin's Law. Hurrah.
