I wanna make a creature that has eyeballs on its fingers but can't seem to figure out how to do that. It wouldn't lemme put the eyeballs on the fingers.
The way I'd hack that is to use the split appendage feature. Make an appendage, hold CTRL, click and hold on a limb to break off.

So, you'd have to make a hand 'by hand', so to speak, then add an eye at the end of each finger.

These are my guys.

Carrell talks about pretending to be intelligent, because pretending is as close as he'll ever come.

But you know, Gervais would never get his chest waxed and yell out "AAAHHH KELLY CLARKSON!!".

The thing with Terry Pratchett is that his narrative voice is ridiculously strong. So one is not only reading a story about characters, the story-teller is a character; one who we have come to know and love in that simultaneously more intimate yet standoffish way we love writers.

For many, Pratchett is that lovable uncle who carries a small flask of whiskey, spouts witticisms under his breath when the overbearing grandmother is on a tirade, and is... [more]

Ok, just to be all contrarian and stuff, this guy, who makes a series of books about car reliabilities and whatnot, always seems to rank Buicks quite high in reliability. This is coming from someone who thinks Consumer Reports is an industry shill.

So basically, I completely believe that Buicks are reliable. Now, why anyone would want to buy one... That's a different matter.
