Tomorrow is International Slap the Most Annoying Coworker Day. If you don't know who that is, you might want to call out sick.

I don't think I saw that coming. Well done, sir.

I've been rewatching Game of Thrones from the start in anticipation of the final season, and I chanced upon a curious line in the third season's opening episode. Dany is presented with the Unsullied and she is told that, and I paraphrase: "they practice tirelessly to master the shield, the spear and the short sword".

The short sword? Have they ever shown the unsullied using anything other than the spears on the show? And yet there have been numerous moments on the show where the sword would clearly have been the better choice. Most notably in ALL of their battles against the Sons of the Harpy (including the fight that killed one of the best characters on the show, and indeed the books).

Did the showmakers forget about the whole thing, or was Dany sold a batch of Unsullied that never learned that weapon?

They gave the swords to the other slaves during the revolt. I guess they didn't need them. Maybe the spears looked more impressive on film?

The mental gymnastics people go through to find meaning in things is exhausting to listen to. The lunar eclipse, and Jupiter/Venus conjunction are "SIGNS" not just any signs, but *SIGNS*. Shouldn't these signs be visiable to the land in which they were supposed written? The lunar eclipse was not visible in Palestine. Same with solar eclipse in 2017. Then you have the proclamation that the sun is exactly 400x bigger than the moon and exactly 400x further away from the Earth than the moon. But it's not. Trees falling in Washington state and a wall falling on George Washington's estate are signs. All these events connect to the death of Billy Graham (and the death of Moses was on the same date; how they know this, I have no clue.), and Hurricane Harvey, and the anniversary of the creation of Israel.

All this to say that the true believers have exactly 5 months to live. Please leave all your worldly possessions to me. There will be plenty of ambulance chasing and prosecuting attorneys still around to make sure I get my loot. I could use a few strawman purchases as well.

Yeah, they were giving swords away there, weren't they. I'd forgotten about that. It's a strange thing.

And the spear is an over compensation for the other swords they lost.

A meteor hit the moon.
Any chance this is related to the one I saw?
