Also, using g and the view of Azeroth from Shadowmoon Valley in Outland I performed some elementary calculations of the size of Azeroth (R = 10.25 km) and its density (4.43×10^6 kg / m^3) http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=4822672480&postId=61356263956&sid=1#212 Hi, I thought you might enjoy ‘fun with the minimap’

Good karma bonus for it being "unadulterated." @Bissrok: Almost as weird as using a modern piece of telecommunications gear to pretend that you're a pre-industrial, fantasy elf, troll, warrior, etc. @Amber: 2 points for admitting snark.

There seems to be a 200 year gap in between the two practices. Still, it's damn hard to find clothes made with joy nowdays. And $13 for a pair of one-piece underwear?! I'd have to go to confession afterwards, 'cause that's a steal! I find it amazing that they wear homemade, pastel prairie-style dresses… and run a website that sells them on the side.

I think the reason it interested me, is that it's another example of somebody's 15 minutes of fame being exploited for all its worth. The comparisons to judgement jammies and chastity bracelets were just pure unadulterated snark. Guilty of “reaching” as charged.

These are cute, sensible kids clothes geared towards people with reasonable, though no longer mainstream, opinions on what it's ok for children to wear. I would have accepted any of these items as a gift for my son when he was little (gender appropriateness taken into consideration, of course). I call “reaching.”
