Reply to TIL about the only double barrel cannon in the world. When it was its first tested during the American Civil War, the chain snapped immediately and one ball tore into a nearby cabin, knocking down its chimney; the other spun off erratically and struck a nearby cow, killing it instantly. by ExpertPreference8481

I feel like there's something hilarious about pointing a weapon "to warn against Northern aggression" when the weapon in question is one you know catastrophically doesn't work.

Honestly if that's not the most Confederate thing I've ever heard I'm not sure what is.

"Consensual Reality" is possibly my favorite concept out of Mage: the Ascension.

Literally anybody who has read Greek mythology knows: DON'T FUCK WITH PROPHECY.

Now watch as the king's prejudice, dismissing the Chosen One solely because he is young -- despite the weight of prophecy! -- leads to his soldiers getting killed to the last man...

Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] After Mana invaded Earth, many things changed. Most devastating of all was the creation of several thousand divinities out of the local faith. This sadly includes you, even if you only know two things about yourself: you are suffering a massive headache and you are the new Divinity Of Atheism. by MC0013

Reminds me of a web comic I read years ago called "The Gods of Arr-Kelaan." One of the main characters was this balding middle-aged dude named Ronson, who became the god of alcohol and apathy. He would grant his clerics powers so long as they never actually bothered him about anything.
