It's not called "The Bright Knight," you know.
While looking through various Hallmark cards, I saw an interesting birthday card. It was one of those with sound, and it had Heath Ledger as the Joker on the front, with the caption "Why so serious?" When you opened it, the Joker said aloud, "Let's put a smile on that face!"

They can't grab me if I'm on fire.
I had discussions today (in two separate conversations, no less) regarding ninja on fire (Dr. McNinja) and pirates on fire (Monkey Island).

Watching more awesome stuff? Goodness, however will I manage?
I think I will end up re-watching some Hellsing, Doctor Who, and Firefly before I can finish the stories/drabbles suggested here (all fantastic suggestions, by the way, and people are still welcome to suggest more!) I will try to get these done by Christmas, but I have no idea if I'll be able to or not. But I will finish them; don't worry about ( Read more... ) -

When working on the phones and spelling out strange medicine names, you quickly learn that some letters are very difficult to tell apart. Some are pretty obvious: B and D, M and N, P and T.

One for the old-school nerds
I was reading Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time again, and something about the description of Mrs. Whatsit struck me.

She later appeared "in her familiar wild garb of shawls and scarves and the old tramp's coat and hat ( Read more... )
