A geologist and archaeologist by training, a nerd by inclination - books, films, fossils, comics, rocks, games, folklore, and, generally, the rum and uncanny… Let’s have it!

That’s really good news - we need more topic specific instances.
It’s made some news clips on social media - the second fly over and one I just found of the dog bounding down the side of the pyramid (he’s done that before).
They flew over the following day and the dog had gone, so he presumably got bored and wandered off.
Just looking for bones, which is Pharoah enough.
I’ve declined the opportunity to Mod a community on lemmy.ml, which is really not like me.
Doctors have to get familiar with human anatomy before they start cutting into live patients. I’d rather they took a few practice runs on corpse dong than their first time being when they need to do delicate surgery on the old trouser snake.
Experts also believe the dolphin may be sexually frustrated following reports in other incidents that it attempted to press its genitals against its victims.
Given the fact that cetaceans have prehensile penises, this is a horror story in it’s own right.
And now you know are you up for the challenge?
Asking for a friend?
experts had considered it not necessary
I can kind of see their point - a fire alarm is there to get the attention of someone who would summon the firemen. However, a fire station should have a few of them knocking about who could be relied on to put out a fire or two.
You’ve got to admire his spunk.
And you get your name on a paper in a medical journal before graduating.
Anywhere you apply to go will have an entertaining interview process where you know the questions.
They aren’t counting the ones you steal from other people.
Penises for the Penis Man and foreskins for his throne!

It claims to be the only place in the area offering the exclusive champagne menu “by the glass”.
In Newcastle? You don’t say!
Definitely.
Halo Jones is from his fun time at 2000AD that also gave us DR and Quinch. If you are looking at his earlier work (which tends to be less metafictional) then try his series at Warrior like V for Vendetta (presumably didn’t make the list as it was later published at DC), Marvelman and The Bojeffries Saga (Axel Pressbutton has yet to be collected).
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is probably your next stop as that is his big recentish work.
From Hell is a mighty tome and some may find it heavy going but it is excellent. Same could be said for Big Numbers but it isn’t as… big.
WildC.A.T.s is tricky to recommend as it is part of a larger series in a big fictional universe but solid enough.
Providence is part of his exploration of Lovecraft’s work and does require a familiarity with it. I am familiar but Providence left me cold, where The Courtyard was good. It felt like diminishing returns.
Promethea is his exploration of magic and might be one to save for later.
1963 has yet to be collected but I’ll post more on that shortly.
No need to apologise if you are right.
