    South Korea - first case of Robot Suicide?

    It's like machines can't even think for themselves nowadays. Back in my day robots were happy to steal any job from a human! I think it all began when we gave them a "sleep" mode. That's probably when they started to dream.

    I've done extensive research into this, and I emphatically refute this. Too much sunshine while you're drinking sangria, however, that's a different matter.

    Wasn't there already a meme with Miss Peggy as Eowyn? "But moi is not a man. Hiyaa!"

    How halfling society works

    I remember at school, being told that peasants had to tithe 10% of their income to the local lord, and how the whole class was outraged. Now I look back and think, "I could stand to live with a 10% tax rate..."

    Spoilers TV Shows with Great Endings

    Blackadder: definitely. All the more amazing because, apparently, it was a spur of the moment we-have-to-come-up-with-an-ending thing. Due South ended pretty well. Burn Notice too, although it could have ended on season sooner.

    Cool! I have the core book and Ancestral Vault, and mined both extensively when one of my campaigns found itself in Africa (leaving a trail of destruction in it wake).
