In late 1803, the British captured the small island of Diamond Rock near Martinique, and after hoisting cannons onto the top of it, officially commissioned it as a ship, naming it HMS Diamond Rock. This is where the term "stone frigate" comes from.

There is no standardized pattern for the dimensions of The Elder Scrolls game guides. Starting off with my paperback copies, while The Daggerfall Chronicles and The Redguard Companion each have a vertical height of 23.5cm, this pattern is soon interrupted by the original edition of The Morrowind Prophecies, at only 22.8cm in height. However, the second edition of The Morrowind Prophecies, the first edition of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Official Game Guide, The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Official Game Guide, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year Official Game Guide, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Legendary Edition Official Game Guide stand at a whopping 27.5cm each. However, the official novels The Infernal City and Lord of Souls fall very short at just 20.8cm tall. Ridiculous!
Things remain inconsistent when you look at the hardcover books, too. The Art of Skyrim is approximately 30.7cm high, while The Elder Scrolls Online Ruled Insights Journal measures to 21.3cm. They at least manage to remain uniform in height with The Skyrim Library and Tales of Tamriel book series, which all reach 26.0cm. However, they soon go back to inconsistency with The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind Game Guide, which possesses the unusual height of 28.4cm. Don't even get me started on The Hero's Guides to The Elder Scrolls Online (39.5cm) and The (Improved) Emperor's Guide to Tamriel (22.3cm)—the latter is actually much wider than it is tall! This is admittedly an incomplete dataset, as I am missing the Codex Scientia from the first game, Arena, some obscure editions of the Oblivion and Skyrim guides, and a few other miscellaneous items, but it only goes to show how horribly indecisive Bethesda is with their books.

I'm IP banned from the Interguild, the old Interguild, and IceCaves.net (but not livio.com) on my home internet due to nobody's fault but my own, and the proxy I use doesn't cooperate with phpbb's search function.

White LEDs are actually blue LEDs with a phosphorus cover, so that part of the blue light emitted makes the cover emitted yellow, green and red lights, which makes it look white to the human eye

Pterodactyls aren't dinosaurs, they're flying reptiles. THE SCIENTISTS say that "dinosaur" is restricted to reptiles descended from the last common ancestor of the groups Saurischia and Ornithischia (clade Dinosauria), which exclude pterosaurs. |

Shos gets into a lot of debt with the Israeli mafia and joins the Yakuza for protection
Can you feel your heart burning?
Can you feel the struggle within?
The fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make, you cannot kill me in a way that matters |
