Actually I tried to look the episode up on YouTube and couldn't find it but I'm sure I remember it being in an episode?! Unless they said he's sometimes referred to as Adam.

The idea that "the Antichrist" is a thing that is in the Bible. It's not, people. The phrase "The Antichrist" is never used in the Bible. Yes, the words "anti-Christ are used, but as a concept, like "anti-abortion" or "anti-Obama." Not as the name of somebody.
Being a spelling pedant is one of my favorite things about LoL. I once saw someone spell smite with 8 letters. I can't even try to replicate it. In the meantime, I'm a Casopia main.Chairman Miaow said:

Depends on the armour...in any case it is going to be annoyingly heavy.dunam said:
As for guns...people getting knocked backwards when they are shot. Not only is that impossible, it's also not what you want. Staying perfectly still, except for a fist sized chunk of your chest jumping 6 feet away is much worse than being knocked 6 feet.
I always assume that the viscera/mucous is so sticky that it stuck together again once the blade had passed by.Batou667 said:
On a different note, Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-four is not about a society where you're watched constantly, it's where te government has the possibility to Watch you constantly but you can't be sure when they are.
In fact, now that I think about it I'm not sure they had cameras absolutely everywhere, either.
People who don't know the difference between poison and venom and then go on to use them interchangeably.
Simply put, if it bites you and you die it's venomous, if you bite it and you die it's poisonous.
