Re Jake's request that writers pay more attention to population dynamics and economics.
Be careful what you wish for, every writer world building like Robert Jordon and the Wheel of Time? No one wants that.
Stephen Donaldson's Gap series was based on the Ring cycle, blame Wagner

Anything for you dahling...
Emma from earlier
Sounds like a fun game. Not sure how productive it would be, but I am willing to give it a try. Now, I'll just need to get me a maid...

The Highlander (movie) sequels are really really bad

"...so it turns out Jesus had an evil twin..."
You could start your own cult based on this

Don't mention the Da Vinci Code
The only reason I finished this (and yes it did get thrown across the room with a cry of "For fucks sake!") was to see if there was going to be an evil twin. It was the only hackneyed plot device in the history of the english language that was missed.

Hey, you started generalising in the first place
Pride and Extreme Prejudice?

I've found the problem
Ploughing my way through an English degree I've read many the classics
If you have to read it then it won't be fun. There is nothing wrong with Robinson Crusoe that a good editing wouldn't fix e.g. Crusoe swims naked to the wreck then fills his pockets with biscuits.
On LOTR, didn't C.S. Lewis say something on the line of "Oh god, not another f*cking elf!"?

I have no tattoos; had a number of ideas of what I'd like to get tattoos of over the years. But eventually came to the conclusion that I'd grow out of any symbol I found meaningful enough to get inked into my skin. The permanent thing doesn't work for me, so I use jewellery instead.
My mother had no such problems, and got a tattoo for her 50th birthday.As far as stigma goes, now its a far cry from my adoptive parents reaction of polite horror to any tattoos. Done with style and artistry they are pretty much accepted and enthused over.
