Do not read this post if you do not like violence or gore. Skip to the ones below.




(When watching a documentary about Vlad the Impaler. He is said to be the man Bram Stoker's Dracula is based on. He killed people by impaling them on large wooden stakes, and then raising the poles to display the bodies. Most people were killed by their own weight forcing the poles further in when they were displayed. One instance created a 'forest of bodies' to scare away an invading army.)




M - I wonder if this is where scarecrows came from.




(We would all be intrigued to know.)

C - I don't get it.



A - There are three 'd's. And they are three dimensional.



C - But why are there three 'd's? And why is one small and two big?



D - It's just to make it more complex. And probably to stop someone from saying 'triple D'.



C - Oh. I still don't get it.

It's a horrible STD

(When watching Catchphrase.)



Blue blood! That's from the royal family, right? They all had sex together and it made their blood turn blue.
