Achilles Heel Epic Cure

By Leave a Comment

An epic cure announced today for you demigods who still rely on a good dip in the River Styx to protect yourself in battle – say goodbye to that annoying and dangerous Achilles heel.

Read about it here. An SOS 99.98% true story in progress…

Un-dipped heels: a big little problem for demigods like Achilles here

It’s a big-little problem experienced by many demigods the world over – the Achilles Heel. That part of your heel where your mom held you as a baby while she dangled the rest of you into the raging, magical waters of the River Styx.

Styx water as everyone knows, offers god-like powers of invulnerability with a single dip, the result of a favor the Goddess Styx once performed for Zeus. After the River Styx goddess stuck up for Zeus, he vowed to honor any oath sworn to her, which naturally put her river in the business of granting wishes.

Well it didn’t take long for moms and dads of demigods to begin taking Zeus up on his offer, dipping their little godlings in the magic river and asking for lifelong protection. It seemed to work except for one little-big thing – the un-dipped spot on the heels where the baby was held. The Achilles Heel.

Achilles’ mom Thetis used just her thumb and one lone finger on one heel to hold baby Achilles and keep him away from the boats and angry drowning people. That’s mom’s story anyway. Yet even that spot was still just big enough that Achilles would eventually take a poison arrow in the heel during battle and become a cautionary tale about the dangers of small weaknesses for all eternity. Not to mention being mocked for all eternity by humans, naming their heel tendons after him. Not nice, humans. Although, hey, it IS a very god-like tendon.

Gods and scientists have been trying ever since to solve the dippy problem of Achilles tendons.  If you armour it up, the hero can’t move. And a hero who can’t move is better known as a sitting duck. But an epic hero with an arrow in his heal is a dead one. What to do?

Epic socks cure Achilles Heel

Well for an epic problem, an epic cure: socks. Epic socks. Epic socks designed by Socrates himself. They’re bullet-proof right where it counts for a busy demigod like you with monsters to defeat. And epic anti-droop tech ensures you won’t be pulling them up during battle.

Your survival is 99.98% guaranteed!

World Greets New God and His Particle

By 8 Comments

(SOS/ASAP/WTF) Move over Zeus, there’s a new god in town today with a massively powerful particle.

Today July 04, 2012, the whole world hails the arrival of a new God of Particles, named Higgs, whose powerful particle, the Higgs Bosun is predicted to revolutionize the world with its come-together powers.

Higgs, like all gods, will henceforth go down in history known by a single name, starting with the name of his particle, the so-called Higgs Particle.

Is there a little Higgs in each of us?

But Higgs, unlike the older, more traditional gods, has declined to go by his first name, which is in fact “Peter” or to permit his particle be known as “Peter’s Particle,” despite the obvious alliterative advantage.

“Well all those old gods were related to each other so they had to use their first names. Besides, Higgs-Boson just has much more gravitas. Or in this case, massivitas. Whatever, it’s just more appropriate for this, the one particle to rule them all,” says one god gawker today.

(Also note, it’s not entirely unheard of for gods and goddesses to use their last names or in fact change their names all together over time. For instance, a little known fact, Jupiter’s first name was actually Dougina until his pantheon demanded that he change it. And really, who can blame them?)

So what does this mean for you and your sub-atomic structure?

Well soon, it may be confirmed there is a little Peter – I mean, HIGGS in each of us, uniting the eleven – no wait, I predict one more particle –  make that twelve, little disciple particles that make up all our atoms. Every atom, in fact, in the universe. Higgs is everywhere.

But until this new god, Peter Higgs and his god particle are properly tested and confirmed at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, mortals are invited to address all exhortations and lamentations to “Higgs, God of Particles” and not “Peter the Particle God.”

Although it’s unclear yet how or if Higgs and his particle will respond.

What would you most like to see added to the Monstrometer next? – UPDATED

By 11 Comments

Hail Survivors,

Recently there have been several new monsters added to the Monstrometer as Graham and I continue to refine the app. Previously we added Angels and Draconians and in the just released 1.3 update we added Ghosts. Now for our next update (1.4) we want to know what you would most like to see next.

Please vote in the poll and leave any comments you have below.

Thanks and keep on keeping on.

Seth

PLEASE NOTE: The poll is now closed. Thanks to everyone who voted. Time Travelers won and will be added to the next update. Demigods and Fairies were a really close second and third so maybe they will be next after we get time travelers in there. Look for more info about the new Monstrometer update coming soon.

As requested by friendly resident cyborg P5t5r, among others,  I have posted preliminary, non-exhaustive findings for each of the proposed Monstrometer additions,  suggested by survivors – thank you! – over the last year.

Please note use of the word “PRELIMINARY,”  because these findings are introductory as in designed to orient or acquaint with a situation before proceeding; “a preliminary investigation.” Once we have decided on the next addition, more thorough research will added.

Meanwhile if you have anything to add to any of the descriptions below? Please message me or post it on the site, I’ll be happy to look into it.
