    There's a wormhole in the middle of the kitchen with green poodles coming out of it! I don't think that I-wait, really?!

    So Cynical started a quest to figure out who had supposedly attacked him.

    Can someone please tell me how this thread got so long?

    So, I've never made one of these before. Let's see how this goes.

    The reason I've been somewhat less active for the last few days was because I went on an archeological dig with my dad, who is an archeologist. He currently works for the National Park Service. Whenever any national park or monument needs to build some new building or structure, archeologists need to come out and do some surveys in the area to make sure there are no artifacts or ancient building foundations that would be disturbed.

    We were at a place called Fort Larned in Kansas, which was an old military fort in the 1800's. They are setting up a new septic tank, and needed the area surveyed. My dad was asked to go out, and I came along.

    The nice thing is, my dad is currently listening to the Stormlight Archive. He's in part one of Rhythm of War. So, whenever we were driving anywhere, we would listen to it. He would often pause and we would talk about crazy Cosmere stuff together. I got to hear his theories about the Ghostbloods, Taravangian, Lift, Vasher/Zahel, and a bunch of other stuff. We also made way too many Brandon Sanderson references while we were digging, for example, talking about Hemalurgy when putting spikes in the ground to mark the area we were digging. 

    So yeah. I made a few posts from the devices I brought while I was at the hotel, but was not super active. I got to do something cool and talk a lot about the Cosmere, and I thought it was noteworthy to share.

    So there's the story about the purple squid that lived in the clouds of Saturn! I bet you don't know a weirder story than that! It wasn't me! It was the shovel, I swear!

    I am also a Truthwatcher. The first few times I took the quiz, I got Windrunner, but as I re-took it many times I got Truthwatcher, which honestly matches me better. (I'm a big science nerd.) But I was too attached to me being a Windrunner, so now I'm both. (Four ideals as a Windrunner, but only the first as a Truthwatcher. I don't think the oaths conflict that much....) Shardbuddies are a weird system; basically, you just ask someone (usually someone you've interacted with and made some kind of connection to) if you want to be Shardbuddies, and if they say, yes, then you are Shardbuddies. I was confused about them to when I first came here. Also, I don't know what The Damage Guild is.

    SUDDENLY, pineapples. Again. One of them hit Cynical on the head.

    I am normally not very aware of my eyebrows. (I am now...) I am generally grateful for the functions they perform, and for the little bugs that live in them. Would you rather have a dead Shardblade or a dead set of Shardplate? (If it was living, you would just end up having both. For obvious reasons.)

    This monster had a tendency to force its hosts to not eat lasagna. The No-Lasagna Monster, using Garfield as a host, began trying to escape the Shadow Realm. Meanwhile, the Ghanderflaffle Empire was rising again, as was the newly founded Selffalfrednahg Republic.

    Wonder what a bag of holding is. (What's a bag of holding?) What would you do if you found an unkeyed metalmind in your pocket?

    Now, when the cows come to attack you, just remember that you have a helmet in your backpack. I-excuse me? Have I been falsely accused of something?

    The sky is blue today. No! No respectable human being would ever- wait, I'm being paid in pie...? Let me think about it....

    The sword was also located on a planet orbiting just off the cusp of a black hole's event horizon, making it one of the hardest planets in the thread to land on.

    I am a science nerd, but I am also religious. I think that humans are definitely pushed by biological needs. But if that was our only drive, we would have stopped a long time ago. As for the other two options, both are viable. Our agency, our free will, drives all people forward. Each person's agency is different, of course, but generally, I think humans have agency's that strive for something better. This is what has let us progressed so far. I do think there is a Virtue, but I believe this "external good" as you called it is just as much internal as it is external. The way I see things, the virtue of God that exists externally also exists within every person, to a degree. I believe that as God's children, his divine nature is in each of us. That universal virtue, combined with our free will and our daily biological needs, is what drives us forward to progress and grow. I didn't mean to wax religious there at the end. I realize that not all people will share all my viewpoints, so feel free to share yours or argue against mine below.

    I don't know. Does anyone else think of Hemalurgy when they watch that scene in Frozen where Olaf impales himself accidentally?

    I taught my younger sister about the game. I've lost way too many times since. And I just lost right now, too.

    No, I am currently posting on this thread instead. Then my dad is having us watch Lord of the Rings as an early Father's Day thing. TPBM is also sadly part of the club of people who have not yet been enveloped in Tolkien lore.

    Should we go ask Anybody, whoever they are, if they know what is truly going on?

    Angry Krakitrice began waging a war of complete chaos across the universe. The Selffalfrednahgs, in an attempt to stop them, used their sneezes to blow up the Krakitrice homeworld.

    This perfectly illustrates how time travel REALLY works. Also I broke your 12 hour win.

    Probably Callsign: Bookwyrm. Either that or Nightfire. But I like Bookwyrm better.

    Someone Else went to a planet where the laws said that he could represent himself at his own trial.

    Someone Else was not pleased by this, so they hired a consultant.
