I remember eating honeyed locusts and roasted neeps with mine nuncle when it happened. He couldn't help but vomit when he heard the horrible news. I however was but a stripling boy, so I knew little and less of the significance.

Ask me ASOIAF physics questions and I will answer them for twenty cents. An extra ten cents if you want diagrams. I'm literally living in a box in the goddamned gutter in downtown Salt Lake City. I am hoping to upgrade to a one-man tent by the end of this year. edit: This is the most shameful loving thing in the world. I could have been a stripper to pay for my college, but I guess I'll have to settle for ASOIAF-Physics instead. edit edit: Also, I'm not actually planning to ever get paid for (I'm not a spambot, I promise.)

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:The Children of the Forest did 9/11. Open your eyes Sheeple. There ARE no dragons. The Lannisters just want you to blame the Targaryen's because they have heard rumors from across the Sea! It's an excuse to militarize and attack their loyal subjects in the north, all in the guise of "defending" the Weirwood. If there were dragons, where are the fields of fire? Don't you think its a bit suspicious that the ONLY things that were burned were those 2 trees? I mean, fire didn't even HIT that third weirwood... They said that burning debris knocked it over... but if you look closely, it has AXE Marks on it! I think we ALL know that the weirdwood know secrets... and were participating in an ongoing investigation into the parentage of Jon Snow... something the privy council doesn't want the rest of Westeros to know. Jon Snow is actually a Targaryen and the weirwoods had the proof. With Ned gone - who else would know the truth? Howland Reed & the Weirwoods. Howland is in hiding for his life, and the weirwoods have been burned and destroyed north of the wall. Don't even get me started on the Iron Bank! Joffrey may have shot the bolt that killed that poor beggar.. but it is Bravos who winds the crossbow!

(assume Harranhal was made from Granite) -The Wall is 700 feet high, yet wildlings at the base are able to deliver arrows to the top with killing force. Assuming an arrow weighs 500 grains, how much force would be required to launch an arrow from the bottom of the wall to the top? Bonus question: How many wildlings would it take to pull the bow?

The arms wouldn't add all that much strength, as it's the pecs and whatever the muscle group is in the back opposite the pecs that really controls the force with which a (one-handed, anyway) swing occurs. That's why you never get in a fight with cowboys despite them looking like string beans.

Oh lordy, I love The Wall fight questions because there's no goddamn way in hell you'd ever launch an arrow up that high with a killing force let alone properly aim at people on top of it  George has no sense of scale.I'll work on the Harrenhal one tonight when I get back from work.

Went over a buddies house this past weekend to start watching season 2, DVRed. Got up to halfway through episode 3. Good christ, but this show sucks. The poo poo they changed for no logical reason, the poo poo they added for no logical/redeeming reason. - Jon follows Crastor into the woods and witnesses the offering of the infant, Crastor bonking Jon on the head... WTF? - Extended reinforcement of brothel story line, complete with whore having drooling semen wiped off and then soul kissing a client, followed by a 15 minute calming threat for a whore to stop crying about something that happened in a scene earlier in the show? What. The. gently caress. Honestly, are these things that Gurm would have changed if he could go back in time and do rewrites?

Based on ADWD, yes. If he wrote the trilogy, there would have been tons of whores and jizz everywhere. More proof he never wrote the trilogy.

Seriously, I grew up in Tacoma. A place most known for the phrase "the aroma of Tacoma" where the smell of saw mills and lovely docks come together in a Avengers-esque team up of olfactory offense. I drove through SLC last year on a road trip, didn't even STOP and I was just dumbfounded by how loving TERRIBLE that city smells. I refuse to believe human beings can live there.

Try it out yourself, try to open a door by pushing near the hinges, then try by pushing the knob. The later is much easier to do.

Contra Calculus, the wall is the rough equivalent of a 50 floor building (213 meters) so.. why didn't the black brothers just throw smooth stones (4 oz./ 100 grams +) at the wildlings?. Bonus points for estimating the minimum weight of an object to kill from that height taking into account wind resistance. Bonus bonus points for calculating if a returning arrow would kill the archer who send it.

If you poo poo off the wall does it freeze on the way down, and if so, would the crystalline shitspray be able to kill a man, like pierce his heart?

Okay, I didn't want to interrupt the Subway n' buttplugs discussion but we have no spoiler thread anymore. This chick can't be Myranda Royce; it's two seasons too soon and her chest isn't big enough anyway. She is only 5'3" though, so maybe she's Meera and they're pointlessly changing her name?
