Today’s pet peeve: a piano is not “a harp in a box”.

A piano is a dulcimer in a box.

A harpsichord is a harp in a box.

To be even more pedantic, it’s a hammered dulcimer in a box. Dulcimers are a pretty broad family and not all are, well, hammered.

A piano is the result of a frustrated dulcimerist going “what I really need is to be able to wield more hammers at once. No, more than that. More.”

daisy telling eggsy and harry random facts she knows and the two going “really? i didn’t know that!”

example.

daisy: -petting j.b.- did, um, did! you know that. um, that some dogs don’t. they don’t have…fur!

eggsy and harry: oh, you don’t say?

but sometimes she would say some cryptic stuff that toddlers do sometimes to them and it would be stuck in their heads all day.

example.

daisy: -takes a bite of her banana- this, um, this taste like skin. -pauses; then continues eating it- it’s good skin.

eggsy and harry: …

A fun reminder that Aang was a terrifyingly powerful Avatar.

Most Avatars are informed of their newfound destinies at the age of 16 to begin their training. Because of the approaching war Aang was told of his status at the age of 12. He had already mastered airbending, and in the span of a year he mastered the other three elements, the avatar state, and energybending. He also learned lightning redirection and seismic sense (a technique no previous Avatar had even encountered). In the span of a year.

This child was a terrifying force of nature.

Four roommates are extraterrestrials who have taken human form in the hopes of learning about Earth’s culture. Unfortunately, each alien is from a different planet and believes the other three are normal humans.

I would read this

OH MY GOD

Starring Jack Black, The Rock, Jeff Goldblum and Taika Waititi 

And Mads Mikkelsen, the human neighbour that is weird enough that all the aliens think he’s an alien too.

they all are sure hes an alien and will go talk to him about how hard it is being an alien on earth, will even talk really frankly to him about it, but weirdly no matter what they say hes always like ‘oh yeah i can relate’

It got about a thousand times better than the last time I reblogged this I think.

They find each other because one of them puts up an ad for PERFECLY NORMAL HUMAN ROOMMATES NEEDED and none of them know enough about earth culture to realize how weird that is
