The second one (w/ the chickens) reminds me quite a bit of this Perry Bible Fellowship strip.
The Mouth of Sauron - LOTR extended scene
>> ^Mikus_Aurelius:
This scene was better in the book.
I do like this scene, mainly because it offers an improvement on the theatrical cut (which cannot be said of the majority of the extended scenes in ROTK, unlike the first two films) in that the Fellowship now believe Frodo to be dead, adding weight to their decision to fight on regardless. So in the films, it works. But like much of what merely "works" in the films (and don't misunderstand, I love these films), it would have been much better if they'd gone with how events played out in the book.
So as I remember it from the book, the Mouth of Sauron is a Númenorean (like Aragorn) and an officer in Sauron's army, not some hideously deformed monster. In fact he tried to bargain with the Fellowship, telling them that although Frodo was still alive, all of his posessions had been turned over to Sauron. He says that in exchange for the safe return of Frodo and Sam, the peoples of Middle-earth would be enslaved rather than destroyed, and would have to pay taxes to Mordor. But the reason I like this scene in the book is because of Gandalf's surprising response to the offer: that the two hobbits are not worth the price.
Friendly traffic cop says your ass will be violated

The fact that rape in prison has so casually become a standard of our judicial system disgusts me.
This group is doing something about it. Don't dismiss it simply because they are religious. They are serious and proactive about stopping prison rape.

Also, Norway's prisons are way more humane than the USA. Prison rape is much less common there. Blame socialism.

More specifically (for those who wish to skip past the religious aspects of the site), this is their resource page on prison rape:

Beard-toting dudes of the world, unite! Let the sticky goo of ... uh ... marshmallow paste bind us together in fellowship.
How the Lord of the Rings Should Have Ended.

Should *quality cost 2 Power Points instead of 1? (User Poll by lucky760)
>> ^Throbbin:
Just thought I would also draw attention to my comment in the other thread...
"I'd prefer to leave it how it is. BUT, if it does have to be changed, you could require a quality invocation to be seconded by another (suitably qualified) member (like the dupe function), at the cost of a power point each. That spreads the burden around, and is more likely to ensure only real quality items are qualitied."
I thought it was rather ingenious.
Great idea-sounds good here as well! A bit of team work always makes for better fellowship-
Building a Cello
Since you're so curious, Schmawy, it's called "free plate tuning", and it was developed by the recently departed Carleen Hutchins...
SoutceInteresting anecdote about her is that she once stole a piece of perfect maple from a university phonebooth, replacing it with a replica. Cool lady.
Anyway, nice Sift there schawmy, keep up the good work.

The Christian Trinity
Biblicism at its finest. The narrator failed to mention that the Trinitarian doctrine took a few hundred years to coalesce (something he was very eager to point out) because the Bible in its current form took a few hundreds years to be put together. During the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd centuries there were still just different collections of the Synoptics, Pauline epistles, and various other letters. No one could really come together and meet to decide what was canonical and what wasn't until Constantine legalized Christianity and they could come out into the open.
As for the trinity in Scripture how about the Great Commission "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" or the words of Paul "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."

or if you would rather read it
No, my fair cousin;
If we are marked to die, we are enough
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honor.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is called the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbors,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian.'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day.'
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
Be in their flowing cups freshly remembered.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

Wow, I love the Perry Bible Fellowship too.
