Short story that started out promising but really let me down. It's on Medium, a site that tracks how many times you've visited because they want to charge for their content and...well, don't blame me if this burns up one of your free articles. I should have translated the title first, Mors Pullum--a real tragedy. But at least the author pays attention to myths! "One of the roosters was seen laying an egg, and a snake had gotten to it before they could do anything." Scandalous!
Video clip from Delicious in Dungeon on TV Tropes. I feel as if we've arrived!
A friendly resident decoration and probably the main attraction for me at Wizards Den Cafe, a place reviewed in the Nottingham Post. I almost called it "Wizard's Den" or "Wizards' Den" but...there's no apostrophe. Curious. Sounds like they could also use some egg work: "...the eggs could have done with a little longer." It looks like a place that would rank a few steps higher than Willy's Chocolate Experience, and perhaps shares a similar attitude towards intellectual property.
If I went there I'd try to bring one of my own spoons. How do I know it's mine? Pictures!
T-shirts cropping up again, this time with artwork I haven't seen before. The design is a bit too small in my opinion. If you're going to have a logo or image on clothing, why make it dinky?
A 3d printed model of a giant cockatrice carrying off a bovine from NecroTech Prints. I occasionally wondered whatever happened to Brontes...
And a much more cuddly basilisk, Magtus from Jazwares collectibles. Sort of a soft, squishy pillow...they make a few others, called Squishmallows.
Perhaps of interest to those who enjoy baking: this set of Cookie Cutters from Loot Cave Co. which inclues several types of dragons along with a cockatrice. Might skip it for myself since the cockatrice cookies appear as if they'd be...too complicated. Neat idea, perhaps a rough execution.
SciFiPulse reviews a periodical I hadn't seen before, Forgotten Runes. This came up because of Wizard's Cult 3, involving a wizard who has sworn an oath to watch over a cockatrice egg until it hatches. Sounds like my kind of guy! Though I think he's also responsible for the egg needing someone to watch over it in the first place. At least he's stepping up and taking responsibility!
That's all for this month. I'm looking forward to the semester wrapping up, I'll tell ya.

Reminds me a little of platypuses!
