Reading Notes: Epified Mahabharata Section D

Source: Epified TV

In this section of the Epified videos, I found myself drawn to the story of Arjuna exiling himself after retrieving his bow from his brother and wife's chambers. This story is very strange to me. For one, the whole 'only one can be married to Draupadi at a time' thing is odd. Another is why Arjuna left his bow in the chambers in the first place if he knew he could not enter for a year.

I think a parody of this story could be really fun and entertaining. It would be fun to make Arjuna seem melodramatic and have him try and constantly inflict ridiculous sentences on himself, only for his brothers to roll their eyes and tell him he's being silly.

This could be a light-hearted and funny story that would feel similar to the Krishna parody I wrote a few weeks back. I think this would be really fun to right and just as fun to read.

Introduction to a Mechanical Engineering Major

My name is Callum Maguire, and I am a senior majoring in Mechanical Engineering. The coolest class I took last semester was AC Systems, which explored how air conditioning systems work and how they cool down rooms. Get it? Coolest class? Jokes aside, it was a very interesting course that opened my eyes to how complex a system the air conditioning in a building is, as even a single room can be a lot to deal with as far as calculations go. I was raised on Star Wars and Tolkien, so they happen to be some of my favorite works, however I'm also very fond of superhero movies, sitcoms like Community and IT Crowd, as well as sci-fi and fantasy novels. Long story short, I'm a nerd. Best movie I've seen recently is The Last Jedi, which is something of a controversial opinion I guess, but I don't care. I enjoyed it, and that's all there is to it. I recently re-read one of my childhood favorite novels, Redwall, which was a nice trip down memory lane. It was clear that it wasn

Week 7 Story: Demon Days

Long ago, in the land of Midor, there lived a humble man by the name of Shakiro. He was a simple man, and he led a simple life. One day, when Shakiro was wandering about the forest, searching for food, he encountered a a creature that had become trapped by some kind of strange apparatus. When he approached the odd creature, he was surprised to hear the creature speak to him! "Hello there, human. I was trapped here, unable to escape my bindings without assistance from a human... I don't imagine you'd be willing to help, so just run away now like the rest of your kind." This perplexed Shakiro, as he couldn't figure out why the creature would just assume he wouldn't help out. If Shakiro was anything, he was generous! He looked the creature up and down and decided he seemed harmless enough. "I will not run away!" Exclaimed Shakiro, "I'm going to free you, my friend." He took care to break the chains that held the creatu
