Hmmm, Makit & Bakit was owned by CPG/Kenner for a long time. Hasbro only bothered selling it off in 2006 or so!
This would explain why it had its own version of the Easy-Bake Oven, and how they were able to offer a Care Bears suncatcher kit with it at launch (Kenner already had the license).
I wouldn't classify Alexander the Great as "evil". Dude was a warrior and conqueror, and the way to go about doing this isn't by playing chess. As for Machiavelli, I know nothing about him except about his moral ambiguity. Did he actually do anything evil?
#4's picture alone is the stuff of nightmares though
Concerning the differences and similarities in Machiavelli's advice to ruthless and tyrannical princes in The Prince and his more republican exhortations in Discourses on Livy, many have concluded that The Prince although written in the form of advice for a monarchical prince, contains arguments for the superiority of republican regimes, similar to those found in theDiscourses. In the 18th century the work was even called a satire, for example by Jean-Jacques Rousseau.[8][9] More recently, commentators such as Leo Strauss and Harvey Mansfield have agreed that the Prince can be read as having a deliberate comical irony.[citation needed] Among commentators who have not seen the work as ironic, many still agree that the Prince is republican to some extent.[citation needed]
And, completely by accident, I seem to have found the "real" Hall of Justice from Superfriends: Cincinnati's Union Terminal. That was one of the things I was obsessed about when I was little; if I'd known that when I was, oh, 7, I would have been so excited.

You know what always bugged me? How the Hall of Doom looks like Darth Vader
Keith Jarrett (born May 8, 1945 in Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA) is an Americanpianist and composer. He is considered one of the most important jazz pianists, renowned for his elaborate solo improvisations.
He began piano lessons at the age of two and played for the first time on stage at the age of seven. In 1962 he played a self-composed two-hour concert, without the benefit of any prior formal instruction in orchestration or composition. After working with a wide variety of musicians, including Chet Baker, Lee Konitz and Art Blakey, he founded his own band in 1968 with Charlie Haden and Paul Motian. In 1971-1976 Dewey Redman (saxophone) joined the group and they played under the name the American Quartet. His work with Miles Davis between 1969 and 1971 gave his career an additional boost and the oportunity to play solo concerts such as the “Köln Concert” (1975, Cologne, Germany), honoured by Time Magazine as Album of the year.

I have a recurring fantasy in which I drive down to Cincinnati Union Terminal and pick up a certain person who took a train from Denver's Union Station.
I hug him tightly then we go and find someplace to eat, though what that place is depends entirely on what time of day it is and what's open.
i get so angry sometimes i just punch plankton --Klinotaxis
^^I'd imagine that differs from person to person. Some people (gay-or-straight) are thicker skinned than others, what they've had to deal with in the past may not always change that depending on the person.
im writing a story thats mainly about a guy who is kind of autistic and really into noise. it will end in the most ridiculous deus ex machina possible.
i dont know what the point in any of it is, however im really enjoying writing this. but its entirely possible that im only enjoying it because i get to namedrop prurient and the gerogerigegege a lot
The British army broke the Taliban in Helmand because they charged with bayonets.
Well yeah
Leading a charge like that is some 19th century shit, Rommel saw this sort of thing in WWI and even he was shaking his head. The days of trench and attrition warfare are long gone but the bayonet still has its applications, such as in the close combat you see in urban terrain. Also running out of ammo is still a very real problem in modern warfare, and it's better to have that one thing to fall back on than nothing at all.
For those who didn't watch the debate, the conversation essentially went like this
Romney: We really can't afford to do all the budget cuts on the military that the President's planning. I mean, look at our navy! It's freaking tiny compared to other nations!
Obama: Well, Romney, we have less ships because that's not the way technological development's going right now. Same reason that we use less horses and bayonets than we did back in the 1700s.
And then that became the only part of the debate that anyone cared about, since the only reason that anybody watches the debates is to find memes.
The entire thing is dumb, really. Obama was making a point and I think he made it, regardless of whether or not you agree with it. There was really no need for everyone to go BUT LOL BAYONETS.
Actually it's pretty telling that that's all anyone got out of the debate.

This is also depressingly true.
Also, the people involved with the Weird Twitter thing are tools. On a wholly unrelated note.

The USMC (a part of the US Navy) is trimming itself down simply because the majority of the action in the middle east is over with and the Marines pride themselves on being a trim and tiny force. As for the US Navy as a whole, I don't know what to say about this. AFAIK the only navy comparable (or larger, I'm not sure) is the UK's. Russia's is rusting in dock and China has long way to go to catch up to our's.
