I'd be happy if the sizing would at least be standard across clothing brands. Nothing like being a size 4, 6, or 8 depending on the brand name. (Or not knowing if you're a Small or Medium if they switch to that). When I'm shopping for men (Father's day next month) they make it easy by measuring the waist and pant…

The better version of this joke I saw was "I like my beer like I like my cars. Domestic" in a town where there are a lot of people who would rather buy MADE IN THE USA cars than foreign ones.

It looks like a juvenile sea lion, which do look more like a seal, so I can see how someone would make that mistake. Via:

The cancer issue is highly debatable. Most issues are that some say the research done with humans wasn't over a long enough time span (usually less than a month of consecutive use with little follow up) or that the results shown in animals shouldn't apply to human consumption (because a rat's digestive system is…

The "bear lady" is an soldier's wife at JBER (Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson in Alaska), OF COURSE SHE'S A FUCKING BOSS.

I agree with one exception:

I'm thinking they were prisoners, over on io9 they pointed out they could have doubled the Night's Watch by sending the prisoners to the Wall instead of letting Gregor cut them up.

Because the people in question have not read the books I don't tell them much about the fan theories because I don't want them to confuse fact with conjecture. Especially since I don't believe that one.

Pretty sure she wasn't in love with Brandon either. She was twelve when they were betrothed (and him 15) and he didn't want to marry her either, but it was his duty to his father that compelled him. It's also suggested that he may have had a few bastard children in the North (possibly in Barrowtown where he was a ward…

Jaime wouldn't be allowed to fight at all for Tyrion anyways. He is Lord Commander of the King's Guard and cannot fight for the man who is accused of killing the King.

Gonna be nit-picky, but Gregor doesn't kill slaves since Westeros doesn't have them.

...and have agreed to pay substantial damages to Ms Rowling, which she is donating to charity.

1. It's not a "longstanding tradition" since they first started it last year.

My friend made some out of the official cookbook, super easy and super tasty. Definitely one of my new favorite desserts.

To steal what someone else said in a different thread:

No. He was Pounce in the Becca Cooper Legends books (Terrier, Bloodhound, Mastiff which all came out after ASOIAF) he was named Faithful in the Alanna series and was dubbed "Sir Faithful" by Jonathan.

When I was breastfeeding I did my best to minimize #2 by pumping and letting my baby's father feed him even though I was still there and it would be more convenient to do it myself. It made a big difference though and they bonded really well right away. I know that many mothers can't do that either because it isn't…

From the Article:

Back in 2008 when I used to watch SNL I loved the skits that had Tina Fey & Amy Poehler as Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton. The comparison between the two political figures back then was laughable, and seeing that it hasn't really changed is saddening. Double standards for everyone! From the skit:

I'm sure they could somewhat, but it could affect things like how they work together or compete against each other which would mean they'd have to show some to just put things into context. Plus once it's there the producers or whomever could decide it would 'boost' their ratings to showcase it over the original idea…
