    - You're both right. Here's the stat: - Da5id Apr 20, 20:28 2

humm, eating dinner...and a crown falls out. can they reuse it, glue it back or do I need a whole new one? -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 20, 19:41 4
- This happened to Joffrey Lannister as well. nm - Dignan Apr 20, 20:08 1
  - i've never seen the show, but from what I've heard, I would assume the rest of head was still attached to the crown -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 21, 00:22
- If it's a crown, they can just put it back in. Definitely save it--a new one will cost a lot more money. nm - ralph wiggum Apr 20, 19:58

  - Only exists to post on social media. No truer words ever written. -- nm - Qale Apr 20, 19:53
- Do all these people realize that they will have but a half-life, a cursed life, from the moment the drink touches their lips? -- nm - Ender Apr 20, 19:35 5
  - the half-life is just the radioactive stuff they put in to make it purple. -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 19:41
  - But what kind of life, Ender, without ever tasting magic? -- nm - Mop Apr 20, 19:39
  - This is all The New Day's fault. -- nm - Qale Apr 20, 19:39 1
