I don’t know who first spelled the name as “Guinevere,” but I’m forever thankful that it’s the form in most common use, because other options include “Guanhumara” “Guennuuar” “Gahunmare” and “Wenneuereia

thanks to whichever medieval person decided it was time to stop calling the queen by random horse noises

Older forms of English kept Latin’s gender-specific suffixes -tor and -trix;  tor is for men and trix is for women. So a male pilot is an aviator, a female pilot is an aviatrix. A male fighter is a gladiator, a female fighter is a gladiatrix.

This contrasts with the modern system, where tor is for both men and women, and trix are for kids.

Gotham newbie, just moved here a few weeks ago. I was chilling on my apartment roof stargazing and Red Robin comes sprinting along and trips over me. Full speed faceplanted onto the roof. I asked if he was okay and he just kinda goes “Not again” and runs off. Is this a common occurrence???? #onlyingotham #Ihopehesokay

That’s what you get for trying to stargaze in the middle of a city, especially one known for its perpetual cloud cover. 😐

Day 14 of living with my friends: We put orbeez in grape juice

From left to right: orbeez grown in grape juice only, orbeez moved from grape juice to water once we noticed they weren’t going to get any bigger, and orbeez grown in water (control group)

Results: obviously the grape juice ones absorbed the color and didn’t grow to full size, but the half-and-half ones grew bigger than I’ve ever seen orbeez grow. They’re also a little duller in color than normal orbeez

Additional results: they smell like musty grape juice and taste super sour and gross, according to @deathbygummybears. She also says the regular orbeez just “kinda taste like I just put plastic in my mouth, cause I did.”

New challenger approaches

The milk orbeez (morbeez) are the brightest orbeez we’ve seen yet. They’re bigger than grape juice orbeez but still smaller than normal ones. They’re also very soft for their size.

According to Lena (braver than ANY us marine) they taste pretty much the same as normal orbeez.

Final conclusion: 2% milk has a higher water content than 100% grape juice.
