I’m sure many of the prattling horde will agree with this sentiment: we love libraries. When I was growing up, we lived within a few blocks of the town library, and I spent many happy hours immersed in that place. Apparently Alan Moore agrees with me.

I have no idea why Death is hovering over Moore’s shoulder. I think it’s part of the atmosphere that follows him everywhere.

I have been disastrously distracted, and the thread to end all threads is overdue for a reset. Contemplate this: a 23 year old Steve Jobs about to appear on television…and he’s nervous.

The battle is over, you godless chattering monkeys, and it wasn’t our reasoned arguments or our ferocious onslaught on religious institutions that finally led to the collapse of Christianity. The War on Religion was won by this video:

The misogyny thread is suffering from bloat, so I’m lancing it and allowing the pus to drain here. Continue your discussion, gentlemen. Any of the topics listed in the title are perfectly acceptable.

Ladies, I recommend you wait outside. While the discussion may revolve entirely around your behavior and access to your ladyparts, your opinions will not be wanted and will be ignored anyway.

No one in the perpetual thread will expect the Inquisition to rise up out of an 80s pop song!

If there are any grad students reading the procrastinative thread…GET BACK TO WORK. Don’t watch this video.
