Did you know that spaghetti is grown on trees? It's true!

Spaghetti_harvest.jpg

Here is a photograph of a woman gathering spaghetti from a tree in Switzerland.

The BBC actually ran a great story on this in 1957, it has its own Wikipedia page here.

    I want a pet. I was thinking doge, but I work long hours. I was going to just do the whole doggy day care thing, but fuck that I love all my money.

    Are hedgehogs a lot of trouble? Maybe a guinea pig. Or a tortoise that I could let run around the house.

    anor londo has two of the biggest brick walls in the game, fair warning

    one of them is a boss fight, naturally

    the other is a combination of enemies and terrain features that... well, it's the only thing that made me yell in the whole game, i think

    Speaking of misogyny, I guess James Desborough has done something in the RPG field again.

    He made a card game where the goal was to be the least privileged person at the table. It's supposed to be satire but it's just pretty crappy. It's his revenge for people being upset for him writing an article defending rape in RPGs. It's one of those things where he lacks the awareness to say "Huh, I'm defending rape. This might be a shitty thing to do."

    Ferrets!

    Although this would involve scooping their litterbox every single day. Preferably twice a day. Like for reals you have to do this. Failing to do so is #1 reason for people thinking they smell awful, there are others but in my experience this is stupidly common). Also you would need to ferret-proof your home which can be surprisingly difficult because they fit through damn near everything and are suicidally curious animals.

    Other than that though they sleep for roughly 18-20 hours a day so you just let them out to run around and get up to shenannigans when you get home. More time with the cage door open is always a good thing but once a day for 3-4 hours works if you have two or more (so they have something to snuggle while you are at work).

    there are all these other sections of the map i haven't even really been to yet should i be going to them

    Also Jacob, I was thinking that if you tried Chromecast with a table for PDFs it might make them much easier to read if they are on the TV rather then a tablet screen.

  • HappylilElfHappylilElf Registered User regular
    wait I'm supposed to be crushing the rebellion right now

    spend all your souls on leveling up or whatever and then yes, go explore! if you find out you're too weak for an area you can go back later

    (I think if I remember right, once you get past the first few areas there isn't really anywhere you 'shouldn't' be anymore -- like the only thing I can think of is going to the graveyard right away when you are a weak babby, it's too hard)

    also is there a shortcut out of anor londo anywhere towards the beginning of it

    i guess going back to sen's fortress and taking the elevator back down isn't overly terrible but it's still kind of a trip

    Just got back from a lecture by Mireya Mayor.

    Regarding what she does for a living, which includes getting chased by gorillas and climbing and repelling down tepuis, let me be the first to say NOOOOOPE NOPENOPENOPENOPENOPE.

    I have a new soccer blog The Minnow Tank. Reading it psychically kicks Sepp Blatter in the bean bag.
