About the Thieves' Guild motto: I think, the joke here is that "Whip it quick!" is something a robber might say, i.e. "Quickly, take out your wallet and give me all your money!"

Oh gotcha!  That does make some sense. 

Also @doomspaniels pointed out that the ‘Latatian’ motto doesn’t translate directly into English (from Latin) as ‘Whip it quick’ so I wanted to confess, I got the translation from lspace.org, which while it’s a ‘fan wiki’ type website has been around for-ev-er so I trust it.

Lab/McDonald's/elevator meme: Zim, Loboto and Wheatley.

All right, let’s see...

I’ll be stuck in an elevator with Wheatley, because as annoying as that’ll get, he’s at least not likely to attack me. Can’t say that about the other two

Zim already works at McDonald’s, and while I don’t want him training me in anything much less anything involving hot grease, I can only imagine that watching him try would be hilarious

That leaves Loboto as my lab partner, which sounds absolutely terrifying and probably the worst idea, but maybe he’ll be too distracted trying to make chemicals explode instead of trying to yank out people’s teeth (or brains)

Wait, hold on, somebody actually wrote an in-depth Poirot biography based on little tidbits scattered across the books? Why have I only just found that out?

(The ask is related to this post.) Yes! It was first published in 1990. It’s similar to what Baring-Goulddid for Holmes when he wrote Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street: A Life of the World’s First Consulting Detective (1962).

My copy of Anne Hart’s The Life and Times of Hercule Poirot has a special cover with David Suchet:

The biography covers everything, from details about Poirot’s childhood…

… to what kind of pajamas he wore! :) All aspects of his life and career, relationships, personality and mannerisms, the way he solved crimes, etc, they’re all there.

Anne Hart also wrote The Life and Times of Miss Jane Marple (1985), I’ve got the cover with Geraldine McEwan on it. I warmly recommend both books to any fan or newbie getting acquainted with Christie’s detectives!

А я нашла, где такой фонарик в Москве “живьём” купить. :) Могу адрес дать, если очень надо. (Вы же в Москве, да?)

О, буду признательна! (Я в Москве, да)

That is true! I hadn’t even thought of that

Dib vs. Dipper. (Plot twist: it's an onlne battle on some sort of forum dedicated to the supernatural)

They’re having a flame war over whether it’s pronounced “Bigfoot” or “Bigfeets”

Neither one wins

Wait, IZ move is actually a thing? Not a late April Fools joke? Colour me freaking HYPED!!!

Apparently so! There was a video posted on the Nick youtube channel with Richard’s and Rikki’s voices, and everything
