Here I am doing windshield wipers when a dyel gives me ' good advice ' that it ' s easier if I do it with my legs bent so I only move my knees . Yeah man the whole point is not making it easy . <| sep |> I hate fruit . <| sep |> I used to take the tags off of a cheap ham and staple it to an expensive ham . I would use a little pocket stapler . <| sep |> Thought of one the other day , but I haven ' t written a culture for it yet . I ' d imagine they ' d either be a warrior culture or just hardened folk from harsh lands with a penchant for metallurgy . The couple to be wed both place their right hands upon an altar , one atop the other , and speak their vows to one another , swearing to uphold three virtues , each agreed upon by the pair to be upheld as the foundation of their union Loyalty , courage , and sacrifice , as an example . . As they swear upon these vows , an official , a sort of p r iestalchemistmetallurgist all rolled into one , takes a set of three long , thin metal stakes , formed into the shape of runes , each representing one of the three oaths . These stakes are forged of a unique and sacred metal . The metal is chemically sterile , and is believed to take on magical properties in accordance to the form which it is given . As the virtues are avowed , the official drives each stake through the hands of the wedded couple , into the gaps between the finger bones . The mingling of blood is believed to unite the two souls as one , granting each other their strength , and ensuring their unity in this life as well as the next . Once the ritual is complete , the excess material of the stakes is removed , and the hands are separated . The metal remains embedded in the hand , a permanent reminder of the oaths that were sworn that day , laid bare before the world . The pain of the ritual symbolizes the willingness of the couple to suffer any future hardship as one , to persevere and remain united even in the most dire of times . It is also intended to ensure that the union is one of sincerity , and that it is not an oath to be taken lightly , or one easily forgotten . As one could perhaps imagine , a divorce would be not only emotional agony , but physical as well . It may even prove lethal if not approved and carried out by the proper authorities . Such a death would be seen by most as divine retribution for breaking their sacred vows .
