In response to the total "ownage" experienced by Golem011 earlier today, I thought to share a quote with you all from the man who made it possible.  Let's give a big hand to the Iron Chancellor and engineer of the unification of Germany, Otto vooooon Bismarck!

"I think I shall .....then take a wife, bring up children, till the land, and undermine the morals of my peasants by distilling vast quantities of brandy. If, in ten years or so, you visit this part of the world, you will find a fellow with a big moustache who curses and swears immoderately, detests the French, and flogs his hounds and servants brutally, though all the while tyrannised over by his wife. I shall wear leather breeches, let people make fun of me at the wool market in Stettin, and if they address me as 'herr Baron', I shall stroke my moustache good-naturedly and sell my wool two talers cheaper in consequence. Indeed, I shall get drunk pretty often, and shall be always talking about crops and horses."
---Otto Von Bismarck, in a letter to the American John Motley, at age 19.

Funny how these things crop up, eh? ;)

And since we are on the subject of old Bizzie,

On an unrelated note, I used to have a pair of cockatiels named Otto von Bismarck and Johanna von Putkamer, his wife.   They whistled Mozart tunes...

Nature abhors dimensional abnormalities, and seals them neatly away so that they don't upset people. Nature, in fact, abhors a lot of things, including vacuums, ships called the "Marie Celeste", and the chuck keys for electric drills.

From my superhero game this week.

When facing down a badass supervillain who had started getting his monologue on:

Villain: "I suppose you have many questions for me."
Magic-using hero: "Yeah. Why does Team Rocket always kidnap Pikachu?"
