Concealed weapons fail.

1) If you have to fiddle this much getting it in there, you’re going to be in trouble if you need it in a pinch.

2) Fucking SCABBARDS… deesh! The way that knife is, that lady is going to slice both her leg/butt open and her knickers off.

3) Everyone’s going to know it’s there with a dress that tight

She’d be better off with a smaller dagger up against the sternum. And a high enough neckline. Less people grope there.

Challenge #00563 - A188: We Didn't Start the Flame War

You know Billy Joel’s song “We didn’t start the Fire”?

Well, there’s a really juvenile (which is admittedly appropriate for the subject, mostly) CollegeHumor take on it called “We didn’t start the Flame War”, that is surprisingly catchy. I was just wondering what a story using the title of the CollegeHumor song, but without the more egregious moments of the song, would look like.

A blur of black, white, and gold. A rushed, “Hide

your-average-homestuck:

This is how me and my family are living these months.

My mom has a great job but doesn’t make enough to support all five of us. She’s working extra hours but it isn’t enough and with school starting for my brothers and them needing over priced uniforms, we’ve all reached the end of our rope.

On top of this, my mom also has diabetes and sometimes has trouble getting the money for her medication. And

Challenge #00562 - A187: The Problem with Problems

This XKCD. – RecklessPrudence

Fifteen-year-olds can solve the world’s problems, at least on a hypothetical basis. Case in point, Trudy Mackinaw.

“You know that if they taxed money transfers at a basis of point zero one percent, they’d have enough money to destroy poverty.”

But the rest of the world in general and her parents in particular didn’t listen. Because she was a fifteen-year-old girl. They wouldn’t have listened if she was

Sara and Francouer.

{Pop!}

“Aaaaaah!”

Francoeur caught the falling form with two of his arms and a startled chitter.

In show business, there were many opportunities to see unclothed humans, but this was the most unclothed he’d seen any human. And she was green. Sort of. Somewhere between green and blue. And the top of her… garment… had no visible means of support.

“Ow,” she complained. “Sorry about that. Did I hurt anything?

thatquietanxietygirl:

If you suffer from depression or anxiety, you may often struggle with distorted thinking. It’s best to understand the most common types of distorted thoughts so you can recognize the ones you experience the most, and doing so can help you stop those thoughts from occurring.

Golden age thinking should be on here.

Challenge #00560 - A185: Surprises

From that original post that started the whole Amity thing: “What if every alien race has nothing but docile, harmless animals on their planets and they look at us with our sharks and bears and wolves and wasps and venomous snakes and just think “Holy shit! How do you guys survive?!””

T’reka’s people found and seeded the planet with their own wildlife and plants, presumably all fairly docile and harmless. What was the reaction on first discovering, not the humans

Dragons and princes! http://scienceisadesiretoknow.tumblr.com/post/86360033211/rosengeist-faerill-a-young-gay-dragon-being

Prince Derek had fallen in love the instant he’d seen those bronze-coloured wings coming towards him. He had even let go of the reins and removed his feet from the stirrups.

Allethar didn’t fall in love until until Prince Derek began raining down praises with a tongue that was only metaphorically silver. There was something about *this* human that made him more than an exercise in extracting ransom and then

The next intergalactic olympic sport: Human/Numidid Assisted-Launch Longflight

(aka throwing the numidids and seeing who can flap furthest)

Amity narrowly missed being the first civilisation to adopt human co-operation by a margin of two Standard Weeks. The Britanians became the first humans known as ‘mostly harmless’ to the Galactic Alliance, thanks to Ambassador Harry.

But that didn’t stop the Galactic Alliance from coming to have a good boggle.

“You’re in luck,” said the human. “There’s

Vials of smallpox discovered in Maryland lab

USA TODAY: Smallpox was discovered in a National Institutes of Health storage room last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Tuesday.

Officials say there is no indication that anyone was exposed to the smallpox. The FBI and CDC are investigating how these samples ended up in the storage room.
