Short Story of the Month
“You're not listening to again, honey. For the two hundred and thirty-seventh time – sorry, two hundred and thirty-sixth time, because on the twenty-thirteenth of July, at nine o'clock and four minutes, instead of paying attention to your dear wife, you were watching that stupid TV show with the weirdo who keeps going on about aliens taking on human forms to subtly occupy us – I'm telling you that people don't have eidetic memories!”
Being of the Month
For the ancient Greeks, Iris was the embodiment of the rainbow, and as such she served as a messenger, delivering divine messages much like Hermes. Although her lower status meant she did not carry out orders herself, she would occasionally add her own little touches to them. I’ll remain politically correct by not commenting on that...
Other Stuff
Even though Holmes became the patron of all literary detectives that came after him, he didn't consider himself as one. He thought of himself as a higher form of a sleuth.
Quote of the Month
“Come on. Let’s run away.”
“Where to?”
Rincewind sighed. He’d tried to make his basic philosophy clear time and again, and people never got the message.
“Don’t you worry about to,” he said. “In my experience that always takes care of itself. The important word is away.”
— Terry Pratchett. Eric

"Things just happen. What the hell."
Didaktylos*
* Terry Pratchett. Hogfather
Welcome to my world. For the longest time I couldn’t think of right name for this place, so I left it without one. Amongst things you can find here are attempts of science fiction and fantasy stories, my collection of gods, bogeymen and monsters and also articles about things that had me interested, be it for a while or for years. (There is more of this, sadly not in English but in Czech, on www.fext.cz)
