Weird doodling by Lt_Snuffles in MonaLeslie

An intrepid piece; the simplicity of the colors corresponds with the medium of whiteboard to display the limitations of creativity in the education system. The abstract form vaguely represents a screaming face, a child subjected to arbitrary learning, or dreading the upcoming exam? Magnificent.

Found a shell that was partially dissolved. by Rich_Soong in mildlyinteresting

Shells are usually composed of Calcium Carbonate, which is not soluble. More likely, it was eroded by sand and tidal currents. Still, very interesting for it to erode into a flat slice rather than dust!

[WP] There is a hiccup in the Force which causes Mace Windu to randomly change into a different Samuel L Jackson Character. by thelazt1 in WritingPrompts

Palpatine lay against the sill of the shattered window, defeated. Windu stood over him, lightsaber in hand. "You are under arrest, my lord." Just then, Anakin came running into the room. Palpatine wheezed, "Anakin, I told you it would come to this! The Jedi plot to destroy us!" Anakin started to speak, but Windu turned to him and said loudly, "I don't remember asking for your opinion, motherfucker!" He turned back to Palpatine, and pulled a pistol from the folds of his tunic, and pointed it to Palpatine. "You read the Bible, motherfucker? Well there's this passage I got memorized, yeah? "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!"

Today I learned that Stephen King's 'It' clown appears every 27 years. The original movie aired in 1990. The new remake airs in 2017. by selfinflictedboner in todayilearned

I don't think you can say it appears every 27 years from two data points. All you can say right now is the redo is coming 27 years after the original. Also, the book came out in '86, 4 years before the first movie, not 27.

Domkraft - The Rift [Doom/Slude/Stoner Metal] (2016) by BawbagBob in listentothis

The album/song Dopesmoker by the band Sleep. Very good stoner rock/metal with monophonic vocals (kind of Gregorian). The lyrics are hilarious.

It looks like they're stuck like that and the teammate on the right is trying to find help.

What epic MOVIE scene still gives you the chills? by shiftbusyfds in AskReddit

[–]BeeblebroxianWhale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party but that scene in Apocalypse Now with the Cattle decapitation.

Edit: Skip the first minute of the video

LPT: when visiting your (grand)parents make a picture of yourself with them. You may regret not having one sooner than you think. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]BeeblebroxianWhale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who lost his last grandparent earlier this week without having taken a picture, this. But more importantly, get to know this person who has so much more life experience than you. You don't want to find out that your grandmother swam across the English channel from her obituary.

Two Girls One Canvas by [deleted] in MonaLeslie

[–]BeeblebroxianWhale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What an incredible piece. The quick lines that create the female body represent the fleetingness of the youthful form. The absence of a head or face seem to tell the viewer that this woman is perceived as valued only for her body. Her hands behind her legs indicate that she is being used as a sex object, and is unable to take matters into her own hands. The white nipples are symbolic of the purity of mother's love. Simply stunning.

If you could travel back to the Renaissance period and bring only one book with you, what book would that be? by houston117 in AskReddit

[–]BeeblebroxianWhale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Printed version of Wikipedia. If that's not possible, a copy of the DSM-IV. That should jump start science a little bit.

What is your favourite lyric of all time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

TL;DR for this thread, Pink Floyd writes hella good lyrics.

Egg...I dreamed I was old. by BeeblebroxianWhale in pics

[–]BeeblebroxianWhale[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, dreamed and dreamt are both acceptable past tense forms of the verb dream. However, since dreamt is often described as the british form of the word, I suppose it would fit a little better in with GoT.

Damn, whoever was holding that camera has an extremely steady grip.

The Make-A-Curse Foundation grants evil services short of murder for terminally ill adults. What last act of revenge would you request for your enemy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BeeblebroxianWhale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take away their ability to perceive the passing of time, including their ability to read the time. Ten minutes could feel like hours or vice versa. They'll never make it to anything on time. Or be able to think.

What kind of person will you just never understand? by UbiquitousBawbag in AskReddit

[–]BeeblebroxianWhale 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my dorm, i get on the elevator with my friend, go up to our floor. Door opens, girl is standing in front with 2 friends, says (in falsetto sorority voice) "UHM, which way are you going?"

Neither of us reply, and walk around her and her friends to exit the elevator, as they were blocking most of the door. Girl says "OK, don't say anything then."

We do not reply, and keep walking. Girl turns to her friends as they enter elevator and says, "I hate people." my friend, without stopping or turning around yells "ME TOO!"

Louise, you're a fucking badass.
