Congratulations! And thanks for the answer.

I have taken a class on the New Testament and was surprised when the professor said the oldest manuscripts of Mark we have end at 16:8 with the women fleeing Jesus' tomb and telling no one of the angel or the resurrection. I thought that ending(and apparently so did later scribes) was...

Would you recommend Ingress? I was considering downloading it on my iphone but all the one star reviews turned me away.

I have not played Ingress so I don't know what to expect, but I'll probably end up chasing a pikachu I can only see on my phone in public.

This one on Egyptian history convinced me that the twelfth dynasty is the most underrated dynasty.

Thanks for the recommendations. I think I'll get his Dreamsong compilation since these stories are included in it.

George RR Martin was a screenwriter before he started writing ASOIAF and I bet he had it in mind that it would someday be adapted into TV. I think he occasionally slips into a literary mode like in Brienne's "Broken Man" chapter. I've also heard his short stories are more literary but I haven't...

Food for thought. Mullets are associated with rednecks yet if you have a decent one your neck should be protected from the sun's harmful rays.

Everyone that says Jon is dead and gone please remember the scene where Sam said "Jon always comes back" then smiled and winked at the camera. Ok, Sam didn't do that last part but the showrunners are about as subtle as a gynecologist wearing a gas mask.

They did not. Some Pharaohs are referred to as the Great Shepherd and the shepherd's crook was used as a symbol of authority.

No Shireen was brought to the Wall, I remember her meeting Wun Wun. She nor Selyse or Melisandre went to march on Winterfell though. Dragonstone was also taken by Loras in the books after Stannis left.

Yeah I'm still expecting it to go down in the books but just later than where the show is.

Well Stannis the Mannis stock is falling, better invest everything in the Night King.

I'm confused though. Wikipedia says William wanted to disinherit his oldest son completely and giving him Normandy was a compromise. Is it wrong, or was William unable disinherit him?
