    Dave Arneson was the original creator of the D&D format of one player plays one character with a DM running the adventure. Gary Gygax took all his notes, which were a mess, and cleaned them up and organized them and together they created the official game.

    Not all people who drive lorries/trucks murder prostitutes. Most. But not all.

    Walnut shells can be used to clean jet engines. Start the engine, run it at low power, and toss bushels of walnut shells into the intake. They're abrasive enough to take the grease and grime off the compressor and turbine blades, but soft enough to not scratch the metal.

    Gary Gygax identified as Christian but did not celebrate Christmas and did not think Christians should celebrate Christmas as he thought of it as a mixed bag of pagan ritual that used Christianity as a facade.

    Jehovah's witnesses don't celebrate Christmas either. Probably for a similar reason.

    He was more of a drug smuggler. But, he almost certainly murdered prostitutes in his time. Remember how he shot first? Yeah.

    Basically though, if someone drives a lorry/truck for a living, they've killed or will kill many prostitutes. If they haven't, they've probably just gone for hitch-hikers instead.

    If you hear the term Weather Bomb (a.k.a. Bombogenesis) being thrown around tonight by forecasters. It's legit.
    • Bombogenesis refers to a rapidly intensifying area of low pressure.
    • To be classified as a weather bomb, the central pressure of a low pressure system must drop at least 24 millibars within 24 hours.
    Sigh...I wish I'd learned to love Meteorology back when I first attempted college.

    The first minute and a half of this vid for the end credits of van Helsing is music originally used as part of a ten minute preview vid for Revenge Of The Sith at Star Wars Celebration 3. It was shown late in the week but Rick McCallum said it was thrown together that previous Monday.

    If you die and your body remains undiscovered, your dog will likely wait a long time before it resorts to eating you. Cats on the other hand will only wait a day before they begin to consume you. And they’ll start on the most tender parts, your face for example.

    Now you know it's not that your cat doesn't love you; it's just that it thinks you're dead.

    In popular usage yes, but in strict usage, the 20th Century started January 1st, 1901. However strict usage would make the claim that all children alive were born in the 21st Century incorrect.... looks like Nabi Tajima needs to hang on another year!
