While the details of what Wade Davis wrote about are… dubious, at best, that book is a solid read. It's a good story, even if it doesn't turn out to be exactly "factual." And there's still plenty of interesting history and religious belief in there, even if the tetrodotoxin theory has been more or less disproven.

Damn, they were going to kill Odie? That's cold.

This is required Halloween viewing in my family. We all absolutely love it.

Believe it or not, I never for a minute believed that Guardians of the Galaxy was going to bomb, and was actually fairly confident that it could do better than other Marvel movies by not being a "super-hero" movie.

Something, something, El Dan's basement, have a good weekend everyone! See you on Monday.

¡Tienes una barba hermosa!

We need Dr. Strange because he's awesome. We need Ant-Man because a white male super-hero movie needs to fail and fail hard so Marvel will shift course and do a Captain Marvel movie to try to capitalize on Guardians of the Galaxy's popularity.

…yes? When I said Old English I was referring to Beowulf. I've seen the original text of it in Old English and it is literally another language. Next to nothing was recognizable.

A couple years ago a kid came to my house in a pretty cool home-made Slender Man costume. I immediately recognized it and complemented him, at which point he tore off the mask, yelled "THANK you!" and told me that nobody else had recognized what he was all night. I gave him extra candy. So I guess I can see why…

I love it.

I never, even as a kid, understood the costumes that had a picture of the character ON THE COSTUME. Wolverine doesn't have a picture of himself on his shirt! I'm trying to be Wolverine, not a kid wearing a Wolverine shirt!!!

On a bit of a tangent, I enjoy when Jews go on and on about how they're the oldest religion and they don't get influenced, they influence. Then I bring up how the story of Solomon fooling David into admitting his guilt in sleeping with Bathsheeba/killing Uriah is TOTALLY ripped off of the Egyptian story of Isis…

Ooooh! I see a Calvinist debate coming on!

I get the shit that people throw at the book of Job, I really do (especially the end where getting a new family somehow makes up for losing the old one).

Don't forget the part where he essentially kills Bathsheeba's husband Uriah by giving orders for everyone except him to pull out of battle!

If this doesn't actually happen, it's a great beginning to a movie about them trying to figure out where it went wrong and trying to regain their glory.

Yes. No. Shut up!

AMC, I want you to think long and hard before answering this question: does this mean that we will get weekend long marathons of classic Doctor Who?

I found a random Shakespeare quotation generator! Here are 5 "random" quotations:

Is it weird that if they'd listed Felicia Day and/or Keri Byron as the cause of its rise to prominence I'd have far less of a problem with this?
