That post has brought me from my almost permanent reader status to actually make a post. How are those Bruce statistics creepy? They simply coincide with the creation and popularity of Batman comics. This seems totally reasonable to me given the way popular culture affects baby names in...

I'm not sure the inappropriateness of this is limited to weddings.

Unpredictable.

Though I haven't posted in here often, I can definitely reassert that this sub-forum has its own culture and user-base. Anyways the weekly discussion idea sounds good, as it would allow amateurs like myself to post without significant knowledge.

If I remember correctly, they have one of those in Call Of Duty Finest Hour on Remagen Bridge. That might have been my favorite game ever. My favorite weapon would be the Pike. I find it really interesting that in Europe it all but disapeared for 1000+ years from shortly after the...
