In 2015, Fred Durst stated his interest in obtaining a Russian passport and spending half of the year in Crimea.[40] He wrote a letter in which he stated that Vladimir Putin is "a great guy with clear moral principles and a nice person."[41] Following that, Durst was banned by the Security Service of Ukraine from entering Ukraine for five years "in the interests of guaranteeing the security" of the country.

Tactical battles, which may or may not be open to the public,[34] are fought like real battles with each side devising strategies and tactics to defeat their opponent(s). They have no script, a basic set of agreed-upon rules (physical boundaries, time limit, victory conditions, etc.), and onsite judges or referees, and so could be considered a form of live action role-playing game. Tactical battles might also be considered a form of experimental archaeology.[35]

A study in the US found that 17% of food-related asphyxiations among children younger than 10 years of age were caused by hot dogs[40] - though this did not weight the prevalence of hot dogs in their diets relative to other foods. This risk of a hot dog being caught in a young child's windpipe can be reduced by cutting it into small pieces or lengthwise strips before serving. It is suggested that redesign of size, shape and texture would reduce the risk,[41]but this would be another form of prepared meat, not a hot dog as it is known.

Three primary musical themes were played throughout Todd's evolution. The original Todd theme, from 1993 to 1996, encompassed Todd's rape of Marty and his early misdeeds. The second theme was heard throughout 1998 and 2000, and the third theme was first heard in 2001. The Todd and Marty rape scene was aided primarily by rock songs. Heard at a low volume in the background, hard rock songs assist moments building up to the rape; they intensify the otherwise implicitly tense, aggressive atmosphere, and set a chilling tone for viewers.[18] When Todd is certain that he will rape Marty, the volume of a song in the background ("Head Like a Hole") is increased, which emphasizes the lyrics: "I'd rather die/Than give you control." This use of background music allowed Todd's motivation for the rape to significantly register with viewers.[18]

Meteoric Iron and Legendary Weapons[edit]

I was always curious why men would attribute supernatural properties to the weapons of certain heroes. A little studying here on Wikipedia has allowed me to come up with a satisfying hypothesis.

Mythic weapons such as Lugh's spear and Nuada's Claiomh Solais might have been made of meteoric iron. Various accounts claim that the Tuatha De Danaan had knowledge of occult magics that allowed them to create these mighty weapons -- access to meteoric iron and the know-how to forge it into weaponry would be a sufficiently advanced technology indistinguishable from magic to other cultures and the common man. In fact, wasn't Damascus steel thought to be magically derived, since it was unparalleled for strength and sharpness in its time?

And at least one such mythic weapon, Mjollnir, WAS said to have been "a fallen star."

Most of the magical abilities of these mythic weapons might have their explainations in the superior luster of iron to stone or bronze, the superior strength of meteoric iron to bronze, and the overall divine air that a weapon made from a fallen star would have. "A gift from the gods." The strength and skill of the champions who wielded these iron weapons would also add to the majesty associated with them. And from that start, human storytelling began weaving tall tales, as it tends to do. I need only point out the legends of Pecos Bill and Paul Bunyan for the kinds of over-the-top fiction mankind can come up with using a kernel of truth. --Sunder the Gold

it's well established that people in antiquity knew about meteoric iron and knew where it came from. king tut was buried with a meteoric iron dagger. there's probably no way to prove what that guy's saying but it seems pretty obvious, if a little overblown

This book, for many readers, is described as either the worst or best of Koji Suzuki's novels from the Ring trilogy and series. Many did not like the technical, pseudo-scientific language he layers into the novel, while others are dissatisfied with the ending. Despite the success of Ringu and Ringu 2, they never decided to make Loop, which would have been Ringu 3. This is an odd choice to make because they did make a version of the 4th book Birthday. Suzuki has professed, however, that Loop was his favorite novel in the series. Out of all 4 books Suzuki made for the series, this is only one that was never turned into a film.

Romero's long hair has been a source of both admiration and derision for his fans. John guest-answered Planet Quake's "Dear Mynx" column, in which a female fan asked for hair care tips.[32]

Romero cut his hair short in 2002 and donated it to Locks of Love.[33] Discussion boards such as Doomworld and BeyondUnreal had threads discussing his new look at the time, although in recent years Romero has grown it back to full length.
