Fun* fact! Turkey snoods are erectile tissue. They can both flop and stick up straight like a unicorn horn. I’m not joking, they are. It’s pretty hilarious to watch an upset turkey’s snood bounce around.

Snood [snood]
(n.)
- A fleshy wrinkled fold of skin that hangs down over a turkey's beak.
- An ornamental hair band or hair net.
Use:
“Thomas turkey has a wattle and snood
That always puts the hens in the mood,
So strut your stuff today little dude
Because tomorrow, you’re gonna be food.”

Yep, White got his research for the Sector General books from a surgeon. I knew it. Only surgeons thinks surgeons are the top of the medical tree.

I'm really proud of the 'Grue Theory' joke and I hope it's not too deep a cut.

In Bioshock 2, in the lobby of Ryan Amusements is an otherwise normal melee splicer who has his own unique voice lines. If you sneak to the door, as he passes you will hear him end his rant by shaking his pipe at the ceiling and yell… I’m not sure if it’s “Clouds” or “Clowns” but weird either way.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

I met my soulmate who was also a paranoid abuser and spent a year or so trying to destroy my self-confidence about writing. Then five years later I had a psychotic episode in an airport and a bleeding doll told me the writing was going to restart NOW. Then Wild Children happened.

Alas, while Planet Crafter is one of my favorite games, the new DLC Toxicity needs a lot of work. Resource distribution is so messed up in the current version that once you reach mid-game everything hangs up. Aluminum and super alloy are very rare. Osmium is nonexistent when you first need it.

Yay, Wild Children fan art! Oh, and some other fan art I guess. Maybe one of those is a movie I kind of liked. Or more than kind of. But the point is YAY WILD CHILDREN FAN ART with a Madoka Magica crossover because Lilac.
Artists! Quote with your fanart

The key to a properly made grilled cheese sandwich is generous use of butter. You aren't grilling it, you're frying it in butter. Butter the pan. Butter both sides of the bread. Butter butter butter butter. If your arteries do not congest looking at it, you need more butter.
