Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.

Comment preview: The M60 was turning a blind corner on a very narrow road. The road was on a hill where the turning side for the M60 was a shear wall with a very small dirt path. As the M60 turned, the girls were on the dirt path against the wall. The driver could not se ....


Comment preview: I agree. Idon't think it was the job of the film to focus more in depth on the role of the CIA in propping up the Shah which eventually led to the Iranian Revolution and the hostage crisis. It would be like criticizing Zero Dark Thirty for not having a sep ....


Comment preview: The way that I interpret this has to do with Razor and Visage. Razor and Visage are wardens of the Narrow Maze, which is the portal to the dead world. When razor and visage meet in game they sometimes express concern that no one is guarding the maze. When ....


Comment preview: In fairness to Air Canada, they didn't lose the dog in the sense of lost luggage. The greyhound escaped whilst he was being walked. Last year when I was walking my 6 month old corgi puppy I slipped on some ice and lost my grip on the leash. The pup took ....


Comment preview: Hi there! Clinical psychology doctoral student here. Just some ideas I thought you might find interesting: 1) People with Aspergers syndrome tend to have social deficits. This being the case, a lot of people with this condition socialize a lot less than t ....


Comment preview: I love stories like this. We had an Irish names problem on one of our systems, and it turned out that only people with Irish names - O'Dowd and O'Donnegan - were affected. Knowing the nature of the system, the bug may have been that they weren't charged fo ....


Comment preview: Did you read the article? Here's some quotes: >subjected the young woman to **three years** of gratuitous sexual violence >and ended in 2009 only when she managed to **escape** >following an **overdose** which nearly proved fatal. >and threw he ....


Comment preview: Why is inconceivable to say that the crime is because of cultural values? It is perfectly tolerable to point out that blacks are better at sports, and that their high performance comes from their cultural millieu. People agree that they have different cult ....


Comment preview: I'm a biker. I haven't owned a car in over 25 years, and I have over 18 years experience in California doing a LOT of lane-splitting. It is safer than the alternatives - by a lot. Reason #1 is that we are far less likely to get slammed into from behind. ....


Comment preview: When I was hiking in Utah and Arizona with my dad a few years ago, the thing wanted to do most was hike through one of those really narrow slot canyons. Somewhere like [Peekaboo Canyon](http://www.utahoutside.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/DSC00637-640x480 ....


Comment preview: I've been in this situation before. Bitches only see movement, so as long as he remains still he'll be fine. But so much as a whimper and they'll tear him limb from limb. In life or death situations like this, you've got to keep a cool head. At this moment ....


Comment preview: If you line the original Cic up the cockpit and airlock on the exterior of the ship, the main room of the cic is way too wide to fit in the ship. The same goes for the war room. The lift is also placed way too much towards the front, making it impossible t ....


Comment preview: Saying "Nirvana is overly simplistic" displays an ignorance about pop music composition, or at the very least a very narrow-minded approach to what constitutes musical complexity. As one quick example, Nirvana used modal mixture in a lot of their songs, r ....


Comment preview: The Countdown to Death: First of all, a disclaimer, this idea is not my own, but its been so long I forget where I got it from. I've run it exactly once, and it was perfect. Deep in the dungeon, the players find a room filled with magical darkness. As soon ....


Comment preview: Basically the officer has to beleive that the person committed a felony, is armed, and is attempting to escape. They have to attempt to make the arrest, or have reason to believe that the person poses an immediate threat to their safety/the safety of other ....


Comment preview: About 10 years back I was introduced to weed by a few friends. One of them was named George (not really name for obvious reasons). George and I smoked together a few more times at his house with little to no problems, but one night it all changed. We both ....


Comment preview: It's a common thing in my part of the world. You can see stranded passenger cars parked awkwardly near the highway with a person probably holding a child and waving frantically for help. Anyone who stopped to see or help usually ends up being surrounded by ....


Comment preview: When I drink alcohol, I am the king of the party. I'm hilarious, a ladykiller, a great friend who's got your back, a mischief maker, and a wild card. When I'm sober at a party, I'm quiet and I want to leave or have a meaningful conversation with someone. ....


Comment preview: I will try to keep my terms generic, so people who have never played LoL can understand my explanation. The red team is trying to catch a member of the blue team before he finishes his "return to base" spell. The blue character realizes he's not going to m ....


Comment preview: My girlfriend pulled her car over on a narrow, country highway during a torrential rain downpour at night because she couldn't see the front of the car. Stressing that she might get rammed from behind by another car after a couple of near misses, she start ....


Comment preview: Part of the Wikipedia article: After the initial torpedo strike, the commander of U-123, Kapit nleutnant Reinhard Hardegen, surfaced his boat to finish the stricken tanker. In doing so he realised that they were close to the highly illuminated and populate ....


Comment preview: >But humans aren't static; we can be upgraded . . . It's not perfect but we're making incremental changes towards it. Man believes this in every age, until war, when the savagery and base nature of our species is revealed. >Yet the belief persists th ....


Comment preview: **PEOPLE THAT CAME FROM R/ALL** Credit to /u/RyanW1019 I will try to keep my terms generic, so people who have never played LoL can understand my explanation. The red team is trying to catch a member of the blue team before he finishes his "return to base" ....


Comment preview: Most champions that aren't picked competitively fall into at least 1 of 3 of the following categories: 1. Champion is narrow. The champ will have only a few outlets of strategic deviation and that makes the champion generally unfavorable compared to others ....


Comment preview: Herpetologist here! Short answer: yes. Unless damaged (occasionally you'll find wild snakes missing parts of their tail from a narrow escape from a predator), they have the same number of vertebrae all their life. Different species vary in the number of ve ....
