the whole complicated. Basically, I think I had a short in my electrical system, causing my radiator fans to not kick into high speed. I was sicker than hell that day, so I was taking a nap in the passenger side front seat while a co worker was driving. Well, short story is that he didn't see the te...

Welp, looks like I've finally been vindicated for insisting on Russia's threat in the international world. I'm not happy about that.
So.. what to do now?

So, maybeyou knwo it but: Istanbul is currenctly rocked with protests and fightign between police and protesters. The turkish media is blacked-out, showing re-runs of food prep shows instead of news, and people are going nuts.

Orcs as Ambulatory plants?
Ok, so here's a cray idea. Orcs are plants. The greenskinned, somewhat apeish monsters we all know and love? They're actually the ambulatory seed stage of an intelligent race of trees. The tree, the adult, drops seedlings that ripen and get up and roam around. They're carnivorous, though they can al...
