Didn't know Dr. Monroe had a 24 task.

Also, a bit off topic, but I've been meaning to ask you Direwolf...is your name a Grateful Dead or Game of Thrones reference (or neither)? Just curious.

Grateful Dead. I've never seen Game of Thrones. I've heard great things about it and will most likely watch it in a couple years.

Cool. I'm a huge deadhead (hence my username) so I had to ask. I won't give any spoilers but there are Dire Wolf references in GoT as well...it always cracks me up when they mention it.

Is George RR Martin a Deadhead? Following a long trail of subtle hints, many loyal fans have wondered about the author’s implied fondness for the jam band – and his admiration for the Grateful Dead has now been confirmed by the author.

The Games of Thrones creator told an audience that he was “certainly a fan of the Grateful Dead” in a recent interview, and said he has their lyrics in his head “all the time”.

References to the band have been littered throughout his career: the Dead songs Dire Wolf, Cassidy and Dark Star appear in his work, while he is said to call his home Terrapin Station.

“I have Grateful Dead lyrics rattling around in my head all the time,” he said, when questioned about the references. “Ripple is one of my favourite songs of all time ...

‘There is a road, no simple highway.’”

He added that his wife, Paris, “is perhaps more of a fan of the Grateful Dead than I am”, and went on to say that the band influenced his rock’n’roll novel The Armageddon Rag. According to Billboard, the Weirwood trees in Game of Thrones are named after guitarist Bob Weir.

Big Deadhead here as well. I wish I could go to one (or all!) of the upcoming Fare Thee Well shows. Oh well, the 60 times I saw them before Jerry moved on will have to do.


Edit: I don't have the 24 hour task either.
