    My laptop is being sent in for repairs this week :(

      I hope it's not anything to bad.

      Does this mean you can't be on the shard?

    Just started re-reading "Guns, Germs, and Steel" for a class in college, and I realized one of the worse things the book implies about human prehistory: It's likely that the Giant Ground Sloth would have been DOMESTICATED by Amerindians if it hadn't been killed off by the Clovis hunters they descended from. This is one of history's greatest tragedies.

      Just imagine it. Tame Ground Sloths. TAME GROUND SLOTHS!

      Hasn't the Blitzkrieg Hypothesis been discredited over time, though, implying the ground sloth would have gone extinct anyway?

      Regardless, that's still an awesome thought. :D

      Eh. Jared Diamond disagrees. Megafaunal extinctions in North America and elsewhere correlate so well with Clovis settlement that he thinks there's probably some relationship.

      But yeah. It's likely that taming megafauna like Ground Sloths could've made Amerindians more resistant to disease and lead to faster development. North America lacked good crops and animals to domesticate, which held it back considerably.

    Alright, I'm back. Time to get cracking on those RP's.

    Oh! Uh... by the way, I'm kind of permanently AFK until July 10th-ish. I'm saying this because I just know that my witty comments and bon mots will be sorely missed until then

      Welcome back, I missed your witty comments and bon mots.

    Just noticed that there's a town in the Johto Region named "Blackthorn City." Which starter do you think he chose?

      Whatever you're thinking... Probably anything, really. I'm thinking... Machoke?

      I thought of Totodile >> Not sure if serious or projecting...

      Not serious :P. Next time I play that game, though, I'm totally naming my character "Dalinar" in honor of that one city.
