Only those of us who are idiots (or lazy). Some of us have actually researched our religion and know such things already.   (Random note: I a not a Gardnerian Wiccan, so,   )

+1 Not Garderian Wiccan either :P
Woohoo! Maybe we should start a club here.  :D

38: If you try to walk somewhere, remember what mother fucking road you're supposed to take back so you don't accidentally walk halfway around the mother fucking city by accident. It tends to do nasty things to your feet.

39: Don't mention the word Kitsune around anime fans (the cool animes that are clearly irrelevant to this subject such as Death Note are exceptions). Just. Don't. Trust me on that.

40: People are inherently disposable by default. And by disposable, I mean replaceable. The sooner you learn this, the less random emo shit douchebaggery that is standard part and parcel of said people will bother you and the sooner you can find someone who does the same thing while being less problematic about it. Cold as ice? Ya betcha. Still a necessary life lesson.

My work
The tier system in a nutshell:
[spoiler]Tier 6: A cartographer.
Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.

oh god... that made me think of my friend. He thinks he's all muscle.  :lol He's a comical one.

45. Don't wear short baggy shorts and then attempt to do some stretching post-workout. You'll flash everyone your crotch and then be too embarrassed about it to finish stretching (leading to muscle cramps). :wall

46) Sometimes crying will sound like laughter.

47) When asking your DM if you can take Psionic Contingency, it's best if you hadn't just recovered from a minute long maniacal laugh while looking for powers to learn.

48) Don't read modules you have no intention of running, someone will try to run it for you someday...

49) There are few problems that cannot be solved with either duct tape or WD-40. For these problems, I find gallon sized zip-lock bags are a godsend.

50) If the file looks suspicious, don't download and install it.

51) Bitches be crazy.

52) When using Psionic Dominate, errata is your friend.

55) Anyone who fucks with animals that live in the same house they do, should not have the gall to be surprised when said animal smites them in their sleep.

56) Along the same lines as 55, when a cat is sitting on your lap, you are immune from having to get up.  Other people must move for you.

57) When a cat doesn't want to get up, it doesn't.  Period.

58) Cats may, as a free action, convert their skeletons into fluid. Also, they become heavier the more comfortable they are.
So you end up stuck in an endless loop, unable to act, forever.

In retrospect, much like Keanu Reeves.

I believe that's:
