You can probably use it to give yourself a heart attack, at least.

My father put me in charge of making a card for mother's day, so I made a simple thing with a design - the white lotus tile from AtLA's old man club.

Obscure passive aggression! This is probably quite rude and petty, but whatever.

Okay, so that sorta made sense.

Makes me wonder what edition he had as I recall the army sneaking up to the castle literally covered in brush so the forest appeared to reach the castle. Not some shield-composition bollocks.

This. I was scratching my head over that part, and a quick look up on my "Complete Shakespeare etc. etc." shows that they were indeed covered in bushes (one of Macbeth's men even reports that the forests are moving).

It had the side effect of making one of the witches' prophecies true; they predict that the forest will attack Macbeth's castle, along with Macbeth having to beware Macduff and that Macbeth is invincible except for people who weren't "born of woman"; the outlandishness of the last one leads to Macbeth [dying at the end] because he can't be bothered to take into account that it could happen and just generally acts foolishly otherwise.

Of course the fairly lame responses to "until the forest marches on your castle" and "no man born of woman can touch you" were what inspired Tolkien's resolutions (IIRC one of my books actually contains a note from him about how he found a few guys coming on stage with twigs stuck in their hats to be an extremely unsatisfying resolution to the prophecy). The end result being, of course, the Ents marching on Isengard and Eowyn fatally stabbing the Witch King of Angmar, which I'll agree seemed both much more satisfying ways to resolve those particular prophecies.

Mind = blown.

Romping through my Shakespeare book again and just realized that in "As You Like It", since only men were allowed to act in Shakespeare's era, the character Rosalind would be a man playing drag as a woman who is pretending to be a man. I'd like to see that.

Ah, Twelfth Night's fun for the same reason. It's the beautiful, lasting joke of Shakespeare's legacy, that it's portrayed in popular culture as stuffy, high-class drama when it was closer in fact to Monty Python.

That made me laugh way harder than it should have. XD

What could be scarier that Five nights at Freddy's?

[Neonivek]

What could be scarier that Five nights at Freddy's?

Cancer, Murderers, falling off a building, being eaten by a shark, being barefoot and needing to walk across a bunch of broken glass and nails...

I call that a Friday night.
