I suppose it could have some relevance in researching fertility treatments

Or maybe someone just found a way to have a university subsidize their fetish

And for the record I have Discover tagged on my phone’s news feed, I didn’t go looking for it…

Took me way too long to figure out that Umbreon’s name is based on the latin word ā€œumbraā€, meaning shadow.
I’m a bit dissapointed in myself.

Took me forever to figure that out. Same thing with references to other media found in, well media. Don’t beat yourself up with that one, I’m in my mid 20s and it’s still takes me forever to put one and one together.

Smokes can give you Periodonitis – a disease that causes your breath to stink like decay, gives you swollen gums and makes your teeth fall out.

Neat article on its own, but I didn’t know that some of Shakespeare’s works already had co-writing credits

@THO: One and one equals… eleven?


@dantesolar: That bird, ā€˜fat’ is the word. But seriously, wow. :laughing:

Also, thank God you didn’t post this in the Likes thread…


@amberforeverq25: I thought that (or something) was drilled into everybody.

Nice! Thanks for bringing that article to my attention. Some of Will’s stuff was co-written, though what and how much will always be a matter of intense debate. It’s quite tricky to say with early Shakespeare because so much of it resembles Marlowe anyway. It wasn’t till later that he began developing a truly unique voice (in my own opinion at least). To be perfectly honest, if you gave me a blind trial of a piece of 1590s verse play and asked me to say whether Shake, Marlowe, Nashe, etc wrote it, I wouldn’t be able to tell.

Depressing but interesting fact - somewhere around 100 horses died filming Ben Hur.

ā€œHorizon: Zero Dawn is a post-apocalyptic Action RPG from the Netherlands-based developer Guerrilla Games, best known for Killzone, and written by John Gonzalez, the lead writer behind Fallout: New Vegas.ā€

This only makes the hype ramp up to 11.

That sounds badass, note written to check out over lunch

40% of liquid consumed in the U.K. is tea

Weirdly, I’m not surprised…somehow.

The rest is various alcohols

Of that 40%, @hattieinduni is responsible for over half
