Well, yeah. Armor is better than no armor against any kind of weapon, really.

We're just saying full (articulated) plate shouldn't give an 8 AC bonus against maces.

God damn it.

One of the few internet meme pictures I actually like is that one of a parrot enjoying a chocolate fountain.

Look on the bright side, at least it wasn't of an actual bird dying.

Quote

Rene Goscinny died of a sudden heart attack while working on Astérix In Belgium. It took a great deal of soul-searching by Albert Uderzo over whether or not to complete it. Uderzo did, and then as a tribute to Goscinny continued their work alone.

That, I knew.

Quote

At a certain point in Asterix in Belgium it begins to rain and does not stop for the remainder of the story. The rain was added by Uderzo to mark the point in the work where Goscinny left off when he died.

This, I never realized (I remember the rain, I thought it was just a gag).

A former East German airline executive has been on a non-stop road trip for over 23 years. In the same car.

That there is a version of the original pilot of Archer where Archer is a velociraptor that just makes velociraptor noises

That if you pitchshift a baby crying, it sounds like a 40 year old ab/dl having an orgasm.

There's a fourth Mad Max film being made, but filming was delayed because abnormally high rains in Australia caused flowers to bloom.

Brentai · « **Reply #2590 on:** April 11, 2013, 07:46:03 AM »

This is a problem because Australian flowers can move over 20 mph on land and strip the flesh off a hippopotamus in 10 seconds.

No, that would be your mother.

There were several female conquistadors (conquistadoras), who fought alongside their male counterparts, including one particularly well-regarded cavalry lancer, as documented in the letters of Bartolomeo Diaz and other various Spanish sources.

Reading the word conquistadora put a very odd image of children's programming in my head, but I see College"Humor" beat me to it.

In the German version of Mario, Boos are called Buu Huus. This is pretty much the best thing I've heard all week.

Brentai · « **Reply #2596 on:** April 26, 2013, 12:01:43 PM »

Please tell me a haunted house level is called a buuhaus.

in Japan they are called Teresa and they were allegedly inspired by the ex-girlfriend of one of the devs

R^2 · « **Reply #2598 on:** April 26, 2013, 02:14:48 PM »

IRL Teresa was a very nice lady to your face, but was a terrible gossip and catty bitch when discussing people not present. She inspired a monster that's shy face-to-face but vicious behind your back.

Okay, so I already knew House, M.D. was Sherlock Holmes if he were a doctor (House-Holmes, Wilson-Watson).

But apparently in the second season finale, the one where House is shot and then has a bleeding out-induced dream about a patient with an exploding eye and testicle, the gunman is named Jack Moriarty.

And is also played by Casey Jones. GOONGALA.
