Wait a minute. There's been a sighting of another weekday. **Munches on a banana**

On a side note, I received the film "Robot and Frank" from Netflix, and I think I will watch it tomorrow...

Triple posting. **Munches on a banana**


In case you've ever wanted to know how and why cockroaches (and some other insects) groom themselves, and see some great video of it in action. Thanks to NPR's "Science Friday."

Not much activity in here.

[AndyDufresne]

That's why I posted about roaches. To drive up the activity. **Munches on a banana**

Gili, Mcshanester.

So I've still got my Scotland game going pretty strong. Still aching to take over England, but luckily my nephew in my Dyansty is the heir to the throne, since I had the prince of England in my court some years ago, so stinks for his dynasty coming to end. I'm curious to see how it all turns out. Also, I wanted to mention that the Kingdom of Sweden in my game has been eliminated from map essentially. The tiny republic of Gotland has taken over their kingdom, haha. And Iberia, and even portion of southern France, is all Islamic.

I also setup another game to play around in. This time, I'm the Emir of Tunis I think, a nice little sheikdom in North Africa. My goal is to reunite the North African counties and duchies into kingdom of Africa. Playing as an Islamic dynasty is interesting...the did a pretty good job mixing up the dynamic. I have so many wives, and so many children, but I have to manage "decadence" or take some penalties and risk assassination attempts. But with so many wives, I produce a lot of Princesses. Which means I have a large number of diplomatic relations which is nice, especially being so close to the Crusades area and the Papacy in the Med. I'm fostering relations nicely with Cairo, since they are big and strong. And a neighbor of mine in northern Algeria. I'm definitely more in the mix of action now, than being in the far north in Scotland.

A much cooler video proves that roaches run head first into walls.

I am thinking about starting in Scotlan as well but will wait for a bit more. For the record never convert to Waldensian everything goes to crap until you die and one of your heirs can fix it

Yeah, converting to a heresy is difficult---especially if the main religion has a strong moral authority. However, if the moral authority has been weakened down to the 30's or below, a lot of heresies start to pop-up! I'd like to make a heretic ruler sometime.

In other news, I purchased some potatoes yesterday. I feel like making some scalloped potatoes this weekend. With a side of banana pudding.
