Japan never wanted to conquer the US, the attack against Pearl Harbor was solely to disable the fleet. The entire point of Japanese Imperial ambition lay in creating its Greater Asian Sphere of influence

They work best in microcosms when you can look at a single event and see its full ramifications (What if Henry V hadn't died so young? Can he make the French obey the treaties essentially unifying England and Britain?) Less so when you're looking at big movements with lots of little pieces and parts to it, and far…

Yeah, it really is my most despised book I've read any part of (thus removing Atlas Shrugged from the equation). Its baffling how much praise it was getting when it was coming out as a "feminist" version of the Arthurian legend when it reads like bad fanfiction that makes every character look like crap

I'm going to add this to my list of reasons I'm glad I couldn't get more than a quarter of the way through Mists of Avalon. Even as a high schooler I could tell that book was shit

This means you've also never seen a Transformers movie either.

When the movie was coming out they thought it would be a good idea to make the ads focus on Finn so as to make the Rey reveal more 'impressive', unfortunately to sell this idea it meant downplaying any merchandise associated with the movie so Rey got screwed out of a lot of toys and the like

The two big changes everyone makes is using Free Parking (which essentially provides free money so the game won't end) and not using the auction rule which is what you're probably referring to. The game itself says that if a player lands on a property and doesn't buy it for any reason its auctioned off to everyone…

It seems like Nancy was trying to bet to cover double Keith's score and just screwed up her math (7801 instead of 6801). There's no possible explanation for what the hell Deborah was thinking

Dead of Winter has a superhero dog who can get a machine gun strapped to his back he controls by barking. It's the greatest crossroads card ever

I'm half surprised they didn't riot. What the hell happened Philly, you used to be cool

or that Insomnia remake

I think they would rather remaster 64 than this one considering its rep is so poor. I doubt they would even do a 3DS release with it since a series like Mario tends not to try to bring up any of its games that have such poor reputations

Vin Disel seems to always trip people up. A couple months ago they asked what his highest adjusted gross movie was and apparently everyone forgot he was in Saving Private Ryan despite having a decently prominent role

Just by the description on number 10 it has be Eric Roberts. If you want a crazy villain in the 90s, you got Roberts

In the "G- we Love Art" category that Goldfinch clue was way overpriced at $2000, and yet somehow everyone missed it. How many bird names even start with a G? And of those, how many are small and brightly yellow/gold? At least one person should have got that with a simple guess

He's sentenced to 25 years, he just gets parole after 5 which isn't that big of a stretch for being just the getaway driver and presumably cooperating after he surrenders

It was working for a city, so public bureaucracy at its finest. Plus my eventual boss was short-staffed that entire time and couldn't do anything about it thanks to inept record keeping

They did that last year too, with one of the header images being Martell as he's stabbed

I did once have (a pretty awesome) job that I applied for in the fall and then got interviewed/hired 6 month later because they had lost the application paperwork and forgot about it. These things happen, I was just surprised as I probably applied for this one at least 6 months ago and never heard a peep from them,…

A job I applied for several months ago randomly e-mailed me up last week and had me do a phone interview on Saturday. It must have gone well as they now want me to do a full interview tomorrow morning
