@Behaviour That surprised me.

@Behaviour Getting yelled at and still remaining calm! Being called a Nazi! Having to handle users who will insult anyone in a 5 mile radius, while simultaneously trying not to rip your keyboard in half! ... yeah, it's not all fun and games. :P

History of S&M is getting renamed as Historia Philosophiae Naturalis et Mathematicae. But not really.

user259867

I really should come up with some questions to ask there. The site is a good idea, but lacks questions... Wikipedia covers popular topics well, and to ask something more specialized one has to study the thing first.

Braiam

@Behaviour History of S&M = History of Sadism and Masochism? WTH?

user259867

Just a little joke, but coming from real life. At my school, a college division is "Natural Sciences and Mathematics", and the abbreviation gets used in phrases like "S&M chairs meeting".

Femme fatale

A femme fatale (/ˌfæm fəˈtɑːl/ or /ˌfɛm fəˈtɑːl/; French: [fam fatal]) is a stock character of a mysterious and seductive woman whose charms ensnare her lovers, often leading them into compromising, dangerous, and deadly situations. She is an archetype of literature and art. Her ability to entrance and hypnotise her victim with a spell was in the earliest stories seen as being literally supernatural; hence, the femme fatale today is still often described as having a power akin to an enchantress, seductress, vampire, witch, or demon, having power over men. The phrase is French for "fatal woman"...
