Bulbasaur - first Pokémon in the Pokédex

Rydon - first Pokémon drawn by the creator

Arceus - the Pokémon universe's God/creator

Mew - the progenitor of all Pokémon

What is Rowlet?

Edit: I found it. Rowlet is the first in the Pokédex of "Legends: Arceus," which is chronologically the first game.

This was my favorite movie growing up, and I quote it frequently despite not having seen it in years. One day, my husband (who has never seen it) said "wait, is this movie a comedy? I thought it was a tragedy?" ...it's both.

Also "once it hits your prostate, you're a goner" is very relevant right now.

"und so weiter" which is a phrase that literally has no English equivalent. It's so special and unique and conveys a feeling of....

Nah, just kidding. It means "and so forth."

Is it, though? The horses probably just trampled all over Humpty Dumpty, and THAT'S why he couldn't be put back together.

Eleanor Roosevelt had frequent, uncontrollable diarrhea I think.

The comic is from 2005. No, they are not new to the team.

This actually checks out. In DND, when you "conjure an animal," you actually summon a fey spirit that takes the form of that animal. And, we all know the fey are mischievous.

How funny, I only recently learned of 9Front after trying to find out if there's still a fork going of the original UNIX OS from Bell Labs (which is exactly what 9Front is... I think.)

Anyway, nice article. Thanks for posting.

I had a dream that my cousins and I were having a get-together at my aunt's house, in the yard. My cousin, John, was the last to arrive and his car fell into a ditch as he was attempting to pull into my aunt's driveway.

We all ran to his aid. He got out quickly and yelled "I'm okay!"

We all laughed. I said "Wow, this is just like old times! Everyone is here, even (my other cousin) Jane! ... wait, Jane is here?"

I look at Jane, and time stops. The color fades from the background, but she is still there in full color, smiling at me. I wake up crying.

Jane (not her real name) died a couple years ago, and I have variations of this dream still.

I'm in my mid 30s. Nothing has changed here in that time. SE USA just does not have gas infrastructure.

Also, I've never heard the word "hob" in my life. A quick Google seems to show that is what we call a "stove top" or a "stove burner" or "stove eye."

Growing up, every stove I saw had these:

You still see those, but these days this type is more common:
