THIS WEEK on Game of Thrones: “What is Dead May Never Die”
“What is Dead May Never Die” is the pledge of the men of the Iron Islands. When they undergo this ‘baptism’ by saltwater in their adolescence, they are ‘drowned’ in the waters in homage to the old tradition — Ironmen were literally drowned, then resuscitated, and having suffered that little ‘death’, they style themselves as dead men, unable to be killed on the battlefield.
Theon Greyjoy bathed in saltwaters at the climax of Sunday’s episode of Game of Thrones, and made the choice to betray the North, and his foster brother, Robb Stark.

Brazilian CANNIBALS Make Empanadas With Human Meat. Yum-Yum Time.
Man. At a local joint that the Mrs and I frequent, I often snag the corn and black bean empanadas. My one usual complaint is that there ain’t any meat in them, though I don’t think this is the sort of shizz I’m looking to ingest.
Daniel Craig: Bond Not So Emo In ‘SKYFALL’. Good. Plus! Pics.
Daniel Craig is flapping those sultry lips, dropping some info about Skyfall. The most encouraging detail he’s let fly out of those grizzled yet interestingly warm kissing-pistons is that Jimmy Bond ain’t going to be frowning so much in the next flick. Good!
