I’ve never met anyone from Apollo Astronaut Arrhythmia before. I like how all the initials are "A"s, too.

That’s actually a pretty good phrasing, assuming the one who’s dying is, in fact, a house centipede on your closet wall.

**What would be the negative effects of banning pornography?  
Pleistocene Megafauna Rewilding**

Naturally. I mean, there’s plenty of porn, and when was the last time you saw a mammoth or sabertooth? That’s hardly a mere _coincidence_; ever since cavemen started carving and painting naked people, such animals went on a decline. Obvious cause and effect. Get rid of porn, and the next thing you know there’ll be a giant ground sloth sniffing at your door.

So if I erase that certain external drive, will that bring the sabretooth tiger back? 'Cause if it just brings back a giant ground squirrel or something, I’m not sure it would be worth it.

It probably depends on what’s on the drive. Vanilla porn would presumably have less power than bondage or tentacle porn.
