Jalil: Papa, look, this is Akhenaten and Nefertiti. She died before him-
Alix: She literally didn't.
Jalil: -and Ra made her his goddess.
Alix: He literally wouldn't.
Jalil: Akhenaten offered up a new wife to Ra so his would be brought back to life.
Alix: Dude, Egyptians would be super not into that.
Jalil: This scroll details that very ritual - and only I have deciphered the hieroglyphics!

Alix: PEDDLE YOUR BAD FANFIC SOMEWHERE ELSE!

"The Professor Liskeard," the Countess announced. "He who knows everything about the past and who gave me the valuable hints for the decorations here."
The Archaeologist shuddered slightly.
"If I'd known what you meant to do!" he murmured. "The result is so appalling."
Poirot observed the frescoes more closely. On the wall facing him Orpheus and his jazz band played, while Eurydice looked hopefully towards the grill. On the opposite wall Osiris and Isis seemed to be throwing an Egyptian underworld boating party. On the third wall some bright young people were enjoying mixed bathing in a state of Nature.

Ultros's name comes from Orthros, a two-headed dog in Greek mythology. There's no explaining the mental leap from a dog to a weird purple octopus monster, but one thing's for certain: his name comes from Orthros, but it definitely isn't Orthros. (Guess the memo hasn't reached everyone yet. Sorry, so sorry!)

Olive: By the way, where's Rudolph?
Comet: There's no Rudolph; it's just one of those urban legends.

"Everyone knows something about King Arthur. Whether you watched The Sword in the Stone as a kid, listened to Camelot as an adult, or just existed in a part of the world where Britain was briefly in charge, you know about King Arthur. But if you ever tried to look into King Arthur to try and find some sort of canon for the story, you were probably both confused and disappointed. Maybe you read somewhere that Merlin aged backwards, but then couldn't find any evidence to suppourt that. Maybe you wanted to know about the Holy Grail and ended up reading 50 pages about some Fisher King guy instead. Maybe you wanted to learn the sordid history of Arthur and Morgan Le Fay's secret tryst that famously produced the traitorous Mordred, and were utterly baffled to find zero connection between Mordred and Morgan at all. Whatever the case, while Arthurian mythos is very widespread and most people have at least some knowledge of the basic structure of the story, when you start tugging at the threads, the entire setup starts to lose cohesion. So what is Arthurian canon, and, more importantly, do we actually care?"
