This article dares to ask what I feel is one of the most pertinent and chronically underasked questions in all of Harry Potter-dom:

if the Weasley twins had the Marauder's Map in their possession for *years* before they gave it to Harry, didn't they find it, oh, I don't know, STRANGE that their preteen brother was crawling into bed with some man named Peter night after night after night?

I mean, REALLY. Forget about the elder wand and the hallows and whatever other mysteries you're still hung up on after all these years--I need to know why more people don't care about this!!!

So on the street just now a spectacularly inebriated man tried to grab me around the waist. Then he asked me if my ancestors came from 'County Canteloupes' while cupping his hands in front of his chest in the internationally recognized gesture for 'douchebag'.

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present: St. Patrick's Day in NYC.
