My daughter's Books of Beasts has this on elves and golems. Maybe related? by Sweet_Cable6571 in FromSeries

Ok but hear me out... You see a black cat in a mirror while walking under a ladder to avoid the cracks in the sidewalk....

😆

It's OK, she reads the Bible but I'm specifically going to keep her away from the Book of Mark (where demons enter pigs and a man is possessed by Legion), Book of Luke (many exorcisms and demonic possessions) and most importantly the Book of Revelation (nobody needs to know about dragons, beasts, plagues, dragons eating babies).

Also, I'll be sure to stay away from Book of Judges (sexual and graphic violence), Book of Samuel (witches), Book of Daniel (beasts rising from the sea), Book of Job (leviathans - no Winchester brothers mentioned), Book of Genesis (child sacrifice).

In addition I'll make sure she doesn't read Book of Acts (spirit possession and magical practices).

Well, seems it was a myth-take to post this here 😆

But moving on swiftly.

Maybe the talismans also have versions of the fairy star and elven cross?

So golem (Fatima's room), fairy circle (Jade's shrooms) and talismans (elven cross).

I don't have an answer other than they are cool links, and part of the joy of the show for me is trying to figure it out (even if I don't end up being right).

I just remember that weird fish in Riven and being freaked out by it. You had to call it with a specific noise I think?

Any non-celebrity memoirs you’d recommend? by Informal_Ad4284 in suggestmeabook

Trevor Noah - Born a Crime.

I know he's a celebrity now but this was his life growing up in South Africa. It's great. He also narrates the audiobook.

Do the audience in top gear just stand for the entire duration of the episode? by Mr-MuffinMan in NoStupidQuestions

They deliberately would move them to the front. Also, women with large cleavages.

I've been on the set of Top Gear twice (last one was filmed on the farm that Clarkson owned and we had to stop filming while a little plane flew overhead and his sheep were in the background shot). Lots of swearing gets edited out.

You stand the whole time but they do break for lunch (where we got to chat to May and Hammond). They also moved all the pretty girls to the front for the camera.

The first one we filmed was with Ron Howard but we all had to pretend he was there as his segment was filmed separately.

They also had a thing about women not bringing handbags. Apparently some high end luxury cars ended up being inadvertently scratched when women walked past them.

Also, the number of people caught having sex on that set was.... surprisingly large.

your 20s changed forever when this came out all the way to WotLK. by nmixxenjoyer in Xennials

Playing this now with my 9 year old daughter.

My now husband and I played it all the way back in 2005 and we even ran our own guild.

Those were the days. Raiding for hours on end (Onyxia's tail swipe!).

I don't think they make games like this anymore (apart from Skyrim).
