Reply to after ASOIAF and kingkiller I dont dare to start reading unfinished series, I wonder statistically how much people are same and if it sffects other authors? by [deleted]
I’m the same with tv series that don’t get released all at once. I generally wait until I can watch all the episodes over the course of a few days or a week rather than watching on episode a week when it comes out because I forget things, lose momentum, etc.

Not what I thought they meant when I first read “sexual combat”

Reply to TIL that the Hemlock Water Dropwort is the most poisonous plant in the UK. Its poison constricts the muscles, causing death by asphyxia, which also causes a rictus like death grin. Use of this plant in Phoenician Sardinia for executions is the origin of the term "Sardonic Grin". by AspireAgain
COOL. I wonder if this has anything to do with the origins of the “grinning man” horror trope.
