News:

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

The magpie steals shiny objects for its nest, which seems to give it some reproductive advantage.

I'd say that in western culture, "individualism" is such a shiny thing - a meaningless token that can get you laid.

Eh, when I think of subject I always think of "subject of the Queen" (or King depending on time and country).

Which, I'd say (when you ask "subject to what?") means subject to the will of the Queen (or whatever ruler you pick).

It's not trolling, it's just satire.

It makes me think of whatever suckers agreed to be part of the psych experiment I'm reading about at the moment.
