Patriots' New Super Bowl Rings Cause Fingers To Shrivel Up, Turn Black

[southwest1]

Before I read it I thought it may be real. I had a few rings in the past that stained my fingers lol. Certain metals etc.

Yeah, I know what you mean Jules. I've seen some friends of mine have discolored fingers over cheap as metal jewelry before too. The photo in "The Onion" kind of lets the audience know it's a joke though. I see what you're driving at though. 

 

Sometimes, it doesn't mean the ring is poorly made though. It might just mean your skin reacts badly to certain minerals etc. etc.

BB should be Voldemont since the article is a Voldemort reference

 I never got into the "Harry Potter" phenomenon personally. I won't slam the craze because it motivated millions of kids to read books which is always a good thing. 

 

Yeah, I agree though CS the Voldemont comparison works well though. JRR Tolkien will always be the true master of illusion, fantasy, & creating a whole other unrivaled universe of imagination to me. 

 

Author J. K. Rowling doesn't even come close to what JRR Tolkien created. I know I'm biased here. I guess it just depends on which author you grew up on as a kid.

I enjoyed the HP books probably as much as I enjoyed the LOTR series (The Hobbit is a different story... the Hobbit is one of the best books every written).

 

But there a lot of great authors out there.  One of the best modern day is David Weber, his Honor Harrington series is the best space sci/fi series out there.  And his Roger McClintock series combines SyFy and fantasy and the best developed world I have ever read.

 

Anyway back on topic, funny article.

Good point CD. This isn't my author is tougher than your author.  Beautifully stated. As long as people enjoy reading, the author in question doesn't really matter all that much. Point taken.

I also thought the Hobbit was much better than LOTR series
