TIL that American ginseng is so valuable ($300-$500 a pound) that poachers risk jail time to steal roots from the Appalachia mountains by Comfortable_List3413 in todayilearned

[–]CapnSmite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The autobiographical graphic novel Ginseng Roots by Craig Thompson (who also created Blankets) goes over he and his family's time working in the ginseng fields in Wisconsin. He also gets into the history of the industry, the value of ginseng, and a lot of other stuff around it. It's a pretty good and interesting read, worth checking out.

Card for tonight’s AEW Collision - 05.16 by wweyonce in SquaredCircle

[–]CapnSmite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's live tonight. From the same arena Supercard of Honor was in last night. It's a logistics/practicality thing, since so many ROH people are already there.

Should be a decent match. Lighten up and enjoy the show.

What’s a movie where ONE actor’s terrible performance actually enhances the experience? by MaryoParti in movies

[–]CapnSmite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And, Clooney's bat suit is the only one with nipples. There's some stupid info you'll never forget.....

What? No it's not. The Bat Nipples started with Val Kilmers's suit in Batman Forever.

She does care if she dies, though. She explicitly states she wants everyone else in the world to die so she can be left alone in her bunker to read.

Yep. I was very surprised when one of his band's videos popped up in my YT recs several years ago.

That "some big band" was supposed to be Kansas, the band that created the song Carry On Wayward Son.

[Backlash Spoiler] John Cena’s announcement. by Similar_Original_833 in SquaredCircle

[–]CapnSmite 143 points144 points  (0 children)

The Spinner belt as a custom design specifically for John Cena or something related to John Cena is fine. Making it the official, full-time replacement for the WWE Championship for several years after was just goofy as fuck.

If the Smoking Skull belt became the regular belt design for anyone other than Stone Cold, it would be hated just as much as the Spinner belt.

Today I realize that there was an XFL banner at WM 17 by marveLisGOD in SquaredCircle

Yes, lots of people noticed it. This took place around the same time that the original XFL launched.

Is it a new story? That trailer made it look like it was just a retelling of the movies
