Actually, a lot of prescription bottles now have a description of what the pills look like on the label. That still supposes the TSA agent will be observant or care enough to read the description and check the pills, but the more you know.

And the other idiot said, "oh yeah? I'll top that"

An "f bomb"? That's hysterical. I can imagine some TSA supervisor trying to keep a straight face while writing a report.

That African American studies thing reminds me of Bamboozled, tbh.

I think we can always look at context. Things like accidental deaths and other mistakes I understand, same thing for drug offenses. But premeditated torture and homicide is a category that I would consider that deserves an adult sentencing.

I don't care. The girl that they stabbed 19 times is going to have to live with that trauma for the rest of her life. These girls are clearly not fit for society, and I don't feel comfortable just giving them probation for a cold-blooded murder attempt that severely mutilated an innocent girl.

Gilgamesh. Let's face it, every other story is riding its coattails. :-D

Why did you have to say broodmother!! That part where Hespith tells the process still freaks me the fuck out and reading about it didn't help much.

The magisters, now Darkspawn, came back through the fade and attacked the world. If people were wounded by a Darkspawn in battle or became infected by Darkspawn blood, they would succumb to the taint (yup) and become a Darkspawn, so it was a bit of a zombie apocalypse. Everyone called the Darkspawn invasion the…

I must gleefully confess that I'm such a HUGE Dragon Age fan, that I clicked on this article just to get more...everything Dragon Age related. Every chance I get, I say: "If The Lord of the Rings and A Song of Ice and Fire were to have a love child...and that love child went epic, its name would be Dragon Age:…
