A reveal can have dramatic implications even if it doesn't actually reveal anything the audience didn't already know. Making it explicit confirms that they know that you know and gives a certain punctuation.

I think Wikipedia has tried to enforce a policy of not getting up its own ass quite that much.

Blast processing!

Hey Don, it's your cousin Marvin. Marvin Rickles. You know that new insult sound you've been looking for? Well listen to this!

I wouldn't really call teenagers Millennials. (Nor do they have much in student loans, to say something more obviously true.) The word is used in increasingly vague ways to grumble about the young people and there's not much point in debating whether one definition is better than another, but damn it, people who are…

Kids can be finicky about that kind of thing, but ratatouille/confit byaldi is made out of pretty accessible vegetables as such things go.

Norm MacDonald invented fake news.

There's a middle ground. There's a handful of people who had the ability to intentionally give Beatty the wrong card if they just wanted to cause confusion. That could be what happened. For it to be about ratings would require more people to get involved, and that'd be harder to accomplish.

But the wolverine penis does.

Nintendo produced official art of the Great Fairy looking seductively at Link trapped inside a giant bottle. (That is a link to the picture on Zeldapedia.)

Leonard Pierce already has his response up, so it's only a matter of time.

Lego sets are kind of expensive, honestly.
