At the wake, one of his (much) older brothers gave him a copy of The Hobbit to read to take his mind off of things. That's how he became such a big Tolkien fan.

What was the massacre committed by Mormons on a wagon train made up of non-Mormons that was passing through their territory?
Yup, Mountain Meadows. Not a subject of popular discussion in these parts. To the church's credit, they do cooperate when historians want to investigate the matter.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
(It should be noted at this point that my default reaction to more or less everything Stephen Colbert-related is "Ohhhh! Let's get him a present!")

although the new 'do really suits her, I can't look at her haircut too long, without going to a Rosemary's Baby sort of place.
It's certainly a striking haircut, I agree. I don't know that I like it on her, though. It makes her look way too angular and gaunt, and sort of like the cult shaved her head when she signed up. I was never fond of her Joey Potter long long long do-nothing hair, but this is a little....extreme.

Changing topics entirely, this is still the necrophilia thread, right?
The defence lawyer of a Wisconsin man charged with having sex with a dead deer is claiming he's innocent of any wrongdoing - because a "crimes against sexual morality" statute prohibits sex with animals, but fails to mention carcasses, The Duluth News Tribune reports.
Bryan James Hathaway, 20, of Superior, was arrested on "a misdemeanour charge of sexual gratification with an animal" after indulging in intercourse with said deceased deer on 11 October.
His attorney, public defender Fredric Anderson, last week filed a motion with a Douglas County court which argued "because the deer was dead, it was not considered an animal and the charge should be dismissed". He wrote: "The statute does not prohibit one from having sex with a carcass."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's been out for a while. I already had it at Christmas last year.
