I just freaked out seeing the background of the NGE dvd on my computer. I thought for a second that some sort of viral programm was taking over my machine while I was browsing TV Tropes. Geez.

Why is arachnophobia overrepresented on the Internet?

INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.

What's makes them more frightening than other arthropods, I wonder.

Because they can be lethal, so the people who weren't cautious didn't make it.

Shaving is inconvenient. I wish there was just an option to turn off facial hair in the user preferences.

Also I wish real life had user preferences.

Generation after generation of man would dedicate their lives to trying to discover the admin password.

Winter is never glamorized. Probably for good reason; any time a movie is set in winter it's usually Christmastime.

You know, maybe this is just me, but I think the hype over My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy has gotten a tad ridiculous.

"My condolences" has an air of aloofness to it.

I don't like it. It is detestable to me, if that's actually a word.

you'll then have a grave in the clouds where you won't lie too cramped
