I also successfully set up a "three times a week" running program and typically run 5km each time and sometimes 10km on the weekend. Today I completed Year 2, Week 52, Run 3. So I'm feeling pretty good about that. >I'

Screenwriters for "Conan the Barbarian" (1982) might have got it from Part 2, Chapter XI of "Genghis Khan The Emperor Of All Men" by H. Lamb (1936). https://archive.org/details/genghiskhantheem035122

Have you read "Cheats, Charlatans, and Chicanery: More Outrageous Tales of Skulduggery" by Andreas Schroeder? I don't know how well that book has stood the test of time. But I really liked it back when it came out. https:&#x

Personally, my "go to" list for movie rankings is http://www.phi-phenomenon.org/ which is a labor of love project attempting to generate a forced ranking of all-time best movies. The main downside of it is that it

If you haven't seen it, the "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" meta-trailer is a real treat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbGNcoB2Y4I The movie itself was so-so, but the trailer? Outstanding.
