Anybody taking friction into account? I always wondered how they managed to push on coins obliquely when the coins rested on a smooth surface, ie paving stones. Wouldn't that just shoot the coin sideways across the ground?

condemned some sans-culottes Vive la Revolution! (the French one, specifically)

Definitely Marsh is Batman. Kelsier can have his own. (and no, I'm not biased or anything...)

Then the pillbugs

I think the best part is re-reading the book and seeing all the little details that you didn't even notice the first time (his annotations help, of course).

Who was the first?

into something else

Do you actually talk like that, or are you trying to convince us that you fit the standart Texas stereotype?

Losing stuff. Happens on a daily basis.

And by Trollocs, do you mean the administrators? I thought they were Koloss.

Everything Windrunner said. Especially the cool magic.

I'm thinking Harry Potter versus Moraine would be good. They both have relatively open-ended magics, so the main thing is whether one can block the other. That'll decide things.

Here. Enough said.

I really disliked Hunger Games. It had so much potential, plotwise and all, but I was simply horrified at the graphic violence. I never read the second, but I hear it gets worse. And I garuantee the movie will be more bloody than the book, because Hollywood is just like that.

Wow, such heavy recipes; how about some cookies for dessert? I'll tell you the best thing that ever happened to Betty Crocker's cake mixes (or any brand, for that matter). In a mixing bowl, combine: 1 cake mix in the flavor of your choice (strawberry, chocolate, and spice are particularly good, but anything works) 2 eggs 1/3 cup vegetable oil Stir well, roll into medium-size balls, and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Eat cookies as soon as they're cool enough to not burn you (although I must say, they are still pretty darn good cold). Milk is optional. PS: That's an original recipe, created by my mother.

Now searching award lists... and nearly everything I can find is either secret or requires living in UTAH. (okay, there are a few that don't...)

We know that Shu Dereth is being controlled by Skaze, which are presumably splinters of Dominion.

Throw rocks.

Ahhh, I hadn't figured that out. How ridiculous of me.

I just finished Elantris for the first time, and one unanswered question in the book stood out to me. Raoden wonders why the Aon Rii (wealth) is scattered with seemingly random dots. I think these stand for gold mines or something similar. Could somebody in Utah ask Brandon, please?

Is it even possible to take up a splintered Shard? I thought I read somewhere that it's not...
