I was tempted to spell her surname 'Viagra'.

What is it with these Latina actresses, anyway? They seem to age more slowly than us mere mortals.

He may have specialized in old school carpentry with wooden dowels because of his iron allergy
Nails predate dowel joinery by about four centuries, so nails
are old school.

I honestly don't understand the kerfuffle over Sydney Sweeny's sports book advert. I've watched it six times and I'm not offended yet.

I’m legitimately surprised that the percentage of Black LDS members is 12%. That’s a shockingly high number, considering how much of its history the Mormon church spent insisting that people of African descent weren’t quite ‘people’.

It's interesting how the "thumb" part of a bat wing doesn't have a proper name for other mythical creatures or humanoids with bat-like wings. Calling it a thumb really only works for the bat who uses its wings as arms to move along the ground or like some dragons who might do the same, but a humanoid with arms not attached to the wings in that way wouldn't.
Guess I might have to get creative or just go this route:
Folded up as they were, basically out of sight except for the sharp pointed parts behind his head that on another animal would be its thumbs.
