Beethoven's alcoholic father beat him his entire childhood to make him practice constantly because he wanted to be famous as the father of the "next Mozart", because Mozart was famous for being a child prodigy.

Ariel Castro's own family said they felt that the death penalty would just be a means of escape for him; death would be too good for him, basically, and I would gladly pay tax dollars to make sure he suffers in jail for the full length of the rest of his natural life. He deserves to rot.

Someone else replied to my post yesterday and thus the thread came up in my feed today.

I dress up in a V costume and run panels at comic book conventions in it, mostly anime and comic book stuff. Sort of my meta-commentary on how for all intents and purposes our online screenames and avatars have *become* our social masks. More simply, I started using a V screename when the movie came out (though I…

I don't personally blame Powell, as even Powell got duped into doing that performance; at least Powell subsequently and vocally complained to the press, in later years, that he was lied to and felt utterly used. I mean think about it; what's more effective than a liar trying to convince a crowd that lies are the…

To be honest it isn't that bad by cartoon standards; at least, not offensive. I.e. they don't actually say "Christmas is great because Jesus is the son of god" or crud; Orco has no idea what Xmas is so the children go "how can you not know what Xmas is? Well the story is..." and then it cuts to another scene. Which…

This doesn't even sound like...normal foul-mouthed internet posting. They seem to have some specific local slang terms they use a lot ("Trou" is an example, but "tight" is used in all sorts of contexts in this e-mail, stuff like that.

Varys is Lawful Neutral, not Neutral Good. Well, it depends on whose side he's on....he's the "Order" to contrast with Baelish's "Chaos" — Varys is capable of viscious "Realpolitik", but he only does things he thinks are necessary for the safety of the realm. He *may* have had some hand in Ned Stark's downfall, but…

That is not dead which can eternal lie.

For the record, regarding "let's talk about guns", when asked his position on gun control in the aftermath of the Newtown shooting on Piers Morgan on CNN, Nelson simply said that he has been hunting all of his life, he's hunted bears, but he has never been in a situation in which he needed to fire literally a hundred…

I'm no expert, but regarding the model in the image you posted above, I'm fairly certain that ovaries are not *the size of cantaloupes* in proportion to the size of the uterus. This woman needs immediate medical attention.

The main diet of the Gharial is fish...that's why it has a notoriously thin snout, so it can move it around really fast to catch fish. The cat might have been in danger of being bitten, but a gharial - particularly one of that size - really wouldn't have much experience going against a land-animal of that size.

I couldn't even tell what they were selling.

Polygny is one thing, but polyandry is unnnatural.

The pattern is basically a V-shape on one cheek, an upside-down V on the other cheek, and a long strip going up the forehead from nose to hairline.

You can use facepaint patterns to confuse face-recognition software.

The Zentradi women instantly fall in love with ANY human male because they don't know what love is until they met humans. It's the ultimate fanboy fantasy; they "fly around space, saving planets, and teaching green skinned alien women about this new human emotion called 'love'..." Don't delude yourselves. Plus,…

"He's the only Vulcan who shows his pecs and hides his face. What's that about?" The pon farr is shielded with ritual, and customs shrouded in antiquity. You humans have no conception.
