Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

There's every chance the vows will include "I don't make suggestions, Mr. Baltar. If I want to toss a baby out of an airlock, I'd say so."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

100 cupcakes with game themes. Can you guess them all?

There were some here I couldn't tell WTF is on the cupcake and some games I have never ever heard of.

I think there were about 35 I didn't get, mostly because I didn't know the game at all (most were computer games I assume). And I couldn't remember the name of Simon.

Loved the old-school videogame ones!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I loved the Tempest cupcake. But that was my game, back in the day.

I was so happy to see Tempest. Is Pigmania also called Pass the Pigs? I missed 30 or so.

I missed 5. I may have a predictable hobby.

Speaking of old-school video games you can play Atari Adventure as a Flash game.
