Curse you wee DX!!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Done. Beat ya, Jon.

Neener...

The tinyurl for Asher Lev brought me to The Chosen (by the same author). I fixed them all up.

What does "pigpile" mean? Is it a new word for anyone else?

(Yeah, that's all I got. Well, not really, but really I don't have anything to say that would be of any use whatsoever, so I'm hoping to at least enhance my vocabulary.)

Whoops.

I also thought you'd just turn the book announcements into the links, but either way is fine.

Thanks a lot, guys.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

What does "pigpile" mean? Is it a new word for anyone else?

I assume it's like a dogpile...with pigs.

I've never heard "dogpile" used to describe social behavior either, though.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I assume it's like "pile-on," but using animals as a metaphor.

What is even happening?

Lyra, it's sort of like ganging up. Imagine one person tackling another. Now imagine a bunch of people throwing themselves on top, until there's a pile of people. It's a term used in some children's games.
