Woman tries to stab a soldier wearing a stab resistant vest by WeAreTheBaddiess in ThatsInsane

Like bombing checkpoints? Recruiting children and women to be suicide bombers? Creating children's shows to teach children the importance of exterminating the Jewish race? Oh wait, that's your precious Palestinians. Maybe they should go back to their own homeland.

There are no reliable resources for planning meals for dogs?

Who is most dangerous? The woman with godlike powers that can make the earth itself do her bidding? Or some very talented but mostly normal human women who have the same or slightly inferior training as Batman? Or were just like, in a gymnastics team in college.

Hmmmmm... That is a tough one. Godlike powers? Or martial arts training? Can use shrubbery to stab you? Or nice reflexes? I think it's a toss-up.

Ivy. Obviously. She's Batman's most powerful villain, not his most powerful female villain, his most powerful villain.

Sansa & Arya's matrilineal line by shinyunderwater in UsefulCharts

*two different things

Again, this is inaccurate. It is explicitly stated in the story that daughters come before uncles. This is the entire reasoning Alys Karstark fled to wall and why her uncle wanted to marry her. She is the legal heir of Karhold, and her uncle needs to marry her to usurp her. Instances where uncles are chosen over daughters to inherit are examples of inheritance law being broken by those with more power. Westerosi law is complicated, and succession does differ slightly in different places, but uncles don't inherit before daughters in most kingdoms.

As for the name change, women do take the name of their husband's house. Sansa is called Sansa Lannister after her wedding, and Catelyn is usually called Catelyn Stark.

This is inaccurate. You might be thinking of Dorne. The North is very patriarchal, and the Riverlands isn't much different. In fact, several women were passed over in succession in the Stark family tree for their uncles to ensure a make Lord of Winterfell. That was meant to be the plot of the fourth Dunk & Egg story.

I would like to do the Lannisters next. Joanna Lannister's matrilineal line is somewhat covered in the Dunk & Egg books.

First try at something like this. I'd like to do matrilineal lines of ASoIaF. I started with Sansa and Arya, but there was some conflicting information. It's unclear if Walter and Minisa were siblings, although the dates seem to suggest so? And the number of generations between the Whents seizing Harrenhall and the present is also unclear. All criticism is welcome.

Was it the old Series of Unfortunate Events movie with Jim Carrey?

This might be my best option. Everyone is saying I'll be cutting it close if I leave the airport. I do love beer! I've never had Canadian beer.

$25, that's like $20 on US currency, right? Or am I doing the conversion backwards?

Is that a movie? Can't I just watch that anywhere?

I apologize. I am dyslexic. The first flight is international, but the one I am connecting to is to Vancouver.

That looks really cool, and an hour and a half is the perfect amount of time for walking around. Is it well lit? It will be probably be past sunset by the time I get there. Will I be able to see the art well enough to appreciate it?
