Yeah, I went looking for D&D dragon stats too. The SRD I found says the size measurement for a quadruped denotes length from tip of head to base of tail. Which would put Tiamat at roughly 40 feet long after the tail - kind of depressing for a goddess, really. A 1,200+ year old Colossal Great Wyrm comes in around 80-90…

This can't be reposted enough times before the movie comes out...

You know, that article. True or not, I'm going to believe that Rob wrote an article on global warming even when the science and evidence points to the contrary, and I'd appreciate a little more even-handness when it comes to my beliefs on the subject.

I think "Kirk takes on God... and Wins" is the hint of potpourri in your eau de midlife.

These are clearly dragon burial mounds that Alduin has already been to.

I don't understand why so many people completely misunderstand the First Amendment. The First Amendment ONLY applies to speech being censored by the government - you do not have a first amendment right to give a commencement speech. Unless these speakers are being told they can't speak by the government, then this…

This is similar to one of my favorite science riddles.

A difference between Star Wars and LoTR is that with Star Wars I wanted to be a Jedi, a hero. With LoTR I just wanted to be in Middle Earth. So in the sense of comparing the scope of desire created by each, as intense the desire caused by Star Wars, it's dwarfed by the all encompassing scope of wanting to be a part of…

I picked the wrong day to give up recommending comments.

THIS IS CETI ALPHA FIVE!!

Because we get so many Pokemon Red/Blue articles where 70,000 people are playing at the same time. So many.

Anarchy/Democracy system is, honestly, total garbage. They should have stuck with how it was, that worked before just fine and got "them" past 4 gyms and whatnot - even though cutting simple trees and walking ledges took multiple hours.

That's how we roll in Norway. Everyone should be treated as humans. That's why the chance of criminals in Norway returning to prison after they've been released is one of the lowest in the world. Rehabilitation, not punishment. We basically gathered through social medias and newspapers and decided that we wouldn't…

I offer 400 Quatloos that loghaD won't produce another funny comment for at least three revolutions.
