All right, it was amusing to read about Chopin killing a dungeoneer.

Indeed, Chopin was "some musician" if you don't know who he is, I feel sorry for you and the rockBilbo saw that the moment had come when he must do something. He could not get up at the brutes and he had nothing to shoot with; but looking about he saw that in this place there were many stones lying in what appeared to be a now dry little watercourse. Bilbo was a pretty fair shot with a stone, and it did not take him long to find a nice smooth egg-shaped one that fitted his hand cosily. As a boy he used to practise throwing stones at things, until rabbits and squirrels, and even birds, got out of his way as quick as lightning if they saw him stoop; and even grownup he had still spent a deal of his time at quoits, dart-throwing, shooting at the wand, bowls, ninepins and other quiet games of the aiming and throwing sort - indeed he could do lots of things, besides blowing smoke-rings, asking riddles and cooking, that I haven't time to tell you about. There is no time now. While he was picking up stones, the spider had reached Bombur, and soon he would have been dead. At that moment Bilbo threw. The stone struck the spider plunk on the head, and it dropped senseless off the tree, flop to the ground, with all its legs curled up. [ The Hobbit, by J.R.R.

It's great. It would make more sense if the song title was in English. Marche Funebre means "Funeral March", a traditional song played at (gasp) funerals, which was written by Chopin.

Errmmm... you really need to get a little more contact with other languages and cultures. Come on!... March(e) Funebre/ral, it's sort of trivial!

I thought the joke was that even though he was getting attacked, when he prayed to CromWarily Conan scanned his surroundings, all of his senses alert for signs of possible danger. Off in the distance, he could see the familiar shapes of the Camp of the Duali tribe. Suddenly, the hairs on his neck stand on end as he detects the aura of evil magic in the air. Without thought, he readies his weapon, and mutters under his breath: "By Crom, there will be blood spilt today." [ Conan the Avenger by Robert E. Howard, Bjorn Nyberg, and L.

Uh, the hezrou"Hezrou" is the common name for the type II demon. It is among the weaker of demons, but still quite formidable.

They are capable of using weapons and magic, and it is even rumored that the Wizard of Yendor is a member of this species.

Some went to and fro bearing cups and pouring drinks; others brought food on heaped plates and dishes. "This is poor fare," they said to the hobbits; "for we are lodging in the greenwood far from our halls. If ever you are our guests at home, we will treat you better." "It seems to me good enough for a birthday-party," said Frodo. Pippin afterwards recalled little of either food or drink, for his mind was filled with the light upon the elf-faces, and the sound of voices so various and so beautiful that he felt in a waking dream. [...] Sam could never describe in words, nor picture clearly to himself, what he felt or thought that night, though it remained in his memory as one of the chief events of his life. The nearest he ever got was to say: "Well, sir, if I could grow apples like that, I would call myself a gardener. But it was the singing that went to my heart, if you know what I mean."

Excellent. Also, I've suddenly gained a desire to listen to Chopin.

I can't believe it took me so long to find out about this site! This one's great because it has two jokes right after another. It also made me think of the episode of The Tick with 'Octopaganini', who is Paganini as a super villain and with eight arms.

At Grognor and everybody, Right. The joke is that Dudley is about to die, so he prays as a last-ditch effort. Instead of doing something useful, such as restoring him to full HP, CromWarily Conan scanned his surroundings, all of his senses alert for signs of possible danger. Off in the distance, he could see the familiar shapes of the Camp of the Duali tribe. Suddenly, the hairs on his neck stand on end as he detects the aura of evil magic in the air.
