there's a masochist here?
Sadism and masochism were named after their first practitioners!
If you've ever wondered where these words came from, well, there were two real people knowns as Donatien Alphonse Francois, Marquis de Sade and Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. Their sexual conduct so shocked the world that they got their own name.
Sade was well known for his libertine sexuality. He was accused of a number of sexual crimes like imprisoning a prostitute and poisoning another one. He would even write erotic works describing his practices.
Leopold von Sacher-Masoch was a writer renowned for his romantic stories of Galician life. He had a thing for dominating women in furs. In fact, he entered a contract with a women to become her slave for 6 months, with the stipulation that she wear furs as often as possible, especially when she was in a cruel mood.

NO MTG TALK! so, dinos you say?
The word dinosaur comes from the Greek language and means terrible lizard. The word was coined by English paleontologist Richard Owen in 1842 and was meant to refer to Dinosaurs impressive size rather than their scary appearance.
Dinosaurs ruled the Earth for over 160 million years, from the Triassic period around 230 million years ago through the Jurassic period and until the end of the Cretaceous period around 65 million years ago.
The time period from 250 million years ago until around 65 million years ago is known as the Mesozoic Era. It is often referred to as the Age of the Dinosaurs because most dinosaurs developed and became extinct during this time.
It is believed that dinosaurs lived on Earth until around 65 million years ago when a mass extinction occurred.
Scientists believe that the event leading to the extinction may have been a massive asteroid impact or huge volcanic activity. Events such as these could have blocked out sunlight and significantly changed the Earths ecology.
The first dinosaur to be formally named was the Megalosaurus, back in 1824.
A person who studies dinosaurs is known as a paleontologist.
Rather than being carnivores (meat eaters), the largest dinosaurs such as the Brachiosaurus and Apatosaurus were actually herbivores (plant eaters).
To help fight meat eaters such as the Allosaurus or Spinosaurus, many plant eaters had natural weapons at their disposal. Examples of this include the spikes on the tail of the Stegosaurus and the three horns attached to the front of the Triceratopss head shield.
Pterodactyls are not dinosaurs, they were flying reptiles that lived during the age of dinosaurs but by definition they do not fall into the same category. The same goes for water based reptiles such as Plesiosaurs.
Birds descended from a type of dinosaurs known as theropods.
Despite being long extinct, dinosaurs are frequently featured in the media. One of the more memorable examples of this is Michael Crichtons 1990 book Jurassic Park. Adapted to movie in 1993, the story features cloned dinosaurs brought to life with the help of DNA found in mosquitoes trapped in amber.
I'm sorry. (kinda, not really)

April 3, 2015 12:46 a.m.
Well I think I've just missed like ten pages but there's no way i'm reading five hundred posts to catch up. That's definitely the downside to these fifty post pages, it feels freaking tedious to get through them, where as the twenty post pages felt great.
Anyway, anyone else besides me super excited for esper control being awesome again in standard? Because i'm pumped. Anticipate's great, narset's great, ult price is great, silumgar's scorn is overpowered as fuck, and we get to use control centric dragons as a win con. Standard control just got much better and much more forgiving, it's awesome.
