But anyway, yeah that page has been there for a while, and you're not the first one to post a link to it here either.

No biggie, it's been a while, should be plenty of folks here who haven't seen it before.

Elves do it in trees. Humans do it in wooden structures. Dwarves? Dwarves do it underground. With magma.

Me too this morning!

I luckily was broken away forcefully by someone else :)

I always open so many articles in tabs, I end up with dozens upon dozens of tabs, each of them I want to read, each of them potentially spawning a dozen more tabs through its reading. The only way to get away is to walk away from the computer.

Its soooooo hard...

This is 100% applicable, and how I feel  ;)  http://xkcd.com/609/

It's very telling that if Google "TVTropes" the second link is the article "TVTropes will ruin your life".

Spoiler: Because of this. (click to show/hide)

I don't know whether to praise that site every day, or to curse its name for all eternity.  It's difficult to do both at once.

I love the horror tropes mainly cause I like making fun out of scary things.

MMmmmMMmMMmmmmmm.  TVTropes is one of those things.  It's got the power to crash my browser all the time.  I get so many tabs...it just can't take it anymore and the internet commits suicide.

A single arrow can go through the left forearm, both lungs, the brain, and the right toe. More logical organ ordering is scheduled for the next build.

Sorry, what? Lies! The arrow may hit only "internal" parts of every body segment, so they go over the board. Can anyone correct it?

P.S. I've fixed it, nevermind.
