  1. No way, not me. I'm OCD enough as it is. Having something like that to check would just drive me nuts.
  2. Sigh. You had me going. For a second there I thought maybe he really was coming, but alas... https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/no-the-maya-did-not-predict-the-end-of-the-world-on-21-june-2020 "This time, various "news" venues are repeating a story that scholars got the date wrong, and the actual date is next week, on 21 June. They say that a scientist, Paolo Tagaloguin, tweeted about this. In these tweets (since deleted, they claim), Tagaloguin says: Following the Julian Calendar, we are technically in 2012… The number of days lost in a year due to the shift into Gregorian Calendar is 11 days… For 268 years using the Gregorian Calendar (1752-2020) times 11 days = 2,948 days. 2,948 days / 365 days (per year) = 8 years. Here's the thing: This is wrong. The Gregorian calendar does not lose 11 days per year! Basically, the Julian calendar, which was widely used a long time ago, didn't account for leap years very well, so hundreds of years ago countries started switching to the Gregorian calendar, which does a better job (though it's a little complicated). When they did, the calendar had to jump forward a bunch of days to compensate for days missed— usually about 10 or 11 days — but it was only done once. Not every year. So the claim that somehow 8 years have been skipped is wrong. Second, that doesn't matter anyway, because the 21 December 2012 date was converted from the Maya calendar to the Gregorian one in the first place. So there's no reason to even bring the Julian calendar into this. It doesn't make sense."
  3. Simple. Lion picks up the ax in his jaws, then flings it so it cuts off the snake's head and hits the guy in the tree. When he falls, step on the gators, grab him, and jump back onto land and trot off with his meal. King of the jungle baby!
  4. That' easy. Cuz the folks at Adult Swim are just messed up. If you look at it that way, makes perfect sense they'd pick a show like this for Toonami.
  5. Cuz he realized, they're already dead. Probably died in the building. Crows are asociated with the afterlife of course. Explains too why Little Slugger wanted nothing to do with them.
  6. Cue the creepy music. Maybe it'sa bear? He's here the great little slugger. Can we have your autograph! LOL
  7. Whoa! 😶 Someone just stole their thunder. Don't you hate it when that happens.
  8. Yep. Done to celebrate the coming of age of children when they reach ages 7, 5 and 3 years old.
  9. Chitose candy, given traditionally on Shichi-Go-San festval.
  10. I remember this one. This is actually one of my favorite episodes.
  11. Horde just makes me think of zombies.
  12. I almost never really remember any of my dreams though. I haven't watched any spooky movies or anything like that lately that I could see giving rise to one like this either, which is how come it just seems so strange to me that I would suddenly have one like this. It felt kind of unreal, but I don't think I was really at all aware it was a dream till it was totally over, but despite that I wasn't scared at all by what was happening for some reason. The more I think about it, the more I'm wondering if that could be because the children represented like different pieces of myself maybe somehow. That there were two of them and they were looking out a window or windows makes me think they could be like a pair of eyes.
  13. I had a similar less vivid experience a long time ago, where I felt like something from the dark was grabbing me and holding me down where I couldn't move. I kept struggling, trying to move my arms and legs for several seconds before I stared kicking my blanket off my legs, before I realized I was dreaming. One of my arms was numb when I woke up because I had turned and put it in a position where I cut the blood flow off to it I think, so I believe that particular dream was actually was my body's way of warning me and trying to wake me up back then. Sometimes there are logical reasons to this stuff. Most of the time doesn't seem like it though.
  14. He/it didn't have any feathers, but the nose area of his face stuck out and was kind of elongated like a beak, and the face took on a slight greenish tint. Earlier on when it turned it had various scar like or rotting areas around the eyes or mouth. It wasn't until that final time right before I fake woke up that it didn't even look human anymore.
  15. Not sure what led up to it, but all I remember was the last part where I step into a room and there's couple people sitting in some chairs with their backs to me looking out a window. I ask them who they are, and they respond as they turn around by saying "don't worry, it's just me." It's a young boy and girl with their faces slightly disfigured. I don't recognize them at all. They turn back around, then say "and me" turning around again, with their faces looking even more messed up than before. This repeats over and over until the little boy who's the only one for some reason I'm fixated on at this point looks like some type of alien-like dino bird thing. I wake up then and hear the phone. I answer it, and it's silent for a while before I can faintly hear in a low rasping voice someone say "inside the house". Then I wake up for real and think to myself, "okay, that was strange." The most disturbing part of all this though is that I wasn't at all disturbed by it, which makes me think I've lived too long now.
  16. This should be interesting. And by interesting I mean thoroughly depressing.
  17. This came up in an episode of Agents of Shield tonight. As soon the character started saying it I remembered seeing this thread earlier in the day and was like 😄 I had totally forgotten it was from Blade Runner, but now that I remembered I totally get the joke see why they used it.
  18. Save myself, make another sandwich, but one filled with really disgusting stuff, then go over to the person who threw the football and smash them in the face with it.
  19. I could tell you, but then you'd be cursed to a fate worse than death, and I don't particularly dislike you quite that much.
  20. Yeah, I know, but you can't buy spit with 5 cents these days. What can I say man... inflation.
  21. I'd give mine about a 3.5. Pretty pathetic I know.
  22. Stop drinking so much haterade and switch to some nice soothing herbal tea. I'd suggest chamomile. Oh yeah, that'll be five bucks.
