Didn't someone do the math and determine that, adjusted for inflation, Bob Cratchett was making like $20 / hour, which was so sinfully miserly that God sent spirits to intervene?

Castle of Not

Cursed castle. Everything within it can only be defined by what it is not.

[Players meet the beautiful princess.]

"A hideous prince does not stand before you."

[Players find a chest of gold.]

"You have not found a rotten sack full of live crabs."

Sounds like something that would need to be secured by the Antimemetics Division.

Pretty straightforward misunderstanding.

Or... eight??!

"Sewing dissent against Sauron"

I think we can all agree that, as a team, collectively, the Istari did a great job!

MORP

Jesus, when you put it like that, even if Darla isn't a robot or a paid astroturfer, she's still making the case for unions.

Isaac Asimov, a very intelligent person, wrote a lengthy essay to the effect that he had no idea what intelligence was. He talked about how society would generally consider him more intelligent than the nearly illiterate man who repaired his car, and yet whenever something went wrong with his car he would go to his mechanic and listen to his advice as if it was being handed down from the mountaintop by Moses himself, because Isaac Asimov knew fuck all about car repair. He talked about how he thought that supposedly objective IQ tests were generally a series of gates designed by people already considered intelligent to keep themselves in power, and that they totally disregarded huge swaths of indispensable human knowledge and talent. Isaac Asimov, who has been published in literally every section of the Dewey Decimal System, concluded that he had no firm idea as to what exactly "intelligence" even was.

In short, how could one even define "the dumbest 50%"?

And that's why Thanos should have made everybody half as large as they once were.
