What's he weirdest thing you've ever looked up while researching a story?

How big is a snake's butt.

*looks at bottle of Pepsi next to me* Dare I drink the rest of it so I can crank out this little idea that is bouncing in my head? I want to write it, but....I dunno! It's a good idea too.

I don't even know. I look up a lot that's like how long would it take to fly from here to here?. But I don't really remember otherwise.

You definitely should.

Hey guys, I've rewritten sowm of chapter two for War of Kings. Thoughts?

"How long we will be in this thing?" Spencer asked again.
"About fifteen hours or so. Calm down, Spence, we aren't gonna crash." Toby said, like he was scolding a small child. Spencer huffed and reached across Toby to the pull the window blind down.
"Why don't you watch a movie? I'm sure they have something you like." Toby suggested. Another huff. "Fine then, Spence, but I'm gonna sleep."

Mack desperately wanted some quiet. The last time she'd been on a plane was when she came home from Afghanistan, without her best friend Riley. She didn't enjoy flying, nor did she enjoy listening to some kid rattle on about the history of Egypt.
"And Egyptian women had equal rights. They could-" He was interrupted by Mack.
"Look kid, I really don't care. I'm sorry, but I have no interest in history."
"I'm not a kid, I'm twenty two. And my name's Desmond. Not kid." He didn't seem offended by the rest of the statement. "And you're Miss Williams?" He asked, after reading the name on her dog tags.
Mack lifted her hand to touch the cold metal. "No. Mackenzie."
Desmond seemed to - thankfully - understand without explanation. "I'm sorry." The words sounded almost mechanical from him, like he'd long forgotten the emotion that went with them.
"It's fine." Now her words were sounding mechanical too.

They were saved from any more awkward conversation by turbulence.

Toby had just began to doze off when Spencer woke him up.
"Toby make it stop!" The Irish boy was frantically whispering to him. Toby sighed and sat up.
"It'll be fine, Spence. Look, you can ask one of the flight attendants." Toby suggested.

The woman that Spencer asked didn't even look like a flight attendant; she was wearing an orange floral tank top, Star Spangled Banner boxer shorts, and sandals. The only thing that identified her as a flight attendant was written across her forehead in marker. It said "My name is FLIGHT ATTENDANT."
Spencer asked her, "Are we gonna crash?" She looked at her nonexistent watch.
"Not yet."

probably all the colors of fire. That combined with color psychology. I was trying to write about a phoenix who changed color with moods ((It didn't work out))

*Glances at Afflated Artist and snickers*

I'm not entierly sure...Haven't really looked up weird things yet. I did once get to reading through Doctor Who wiki pages while researching Arthurian legends though...
Do tattoo ideas count? I was really hoping Mum wouldn't walk in in that one. XD

Heh. Heh.....I can't actually sayyyyy because of what it was so I will just not say it.
But in reality, my searches have been so normal to so crazy weird that I would not be surprised if I ended up on a watch list, tbh. I research anything and everything that I think of. Makes for some pretty interesting google history.

I think all my creative juices have been squeezed dry. I'm on chapter four of my NaNo story *yawns*

What's he weirdest thing you've ever looked up while researching a story?
Hmm...I've probably looked up weirder, but at the moment, all I can think of is "high schools in Seattle". Oh yeah, and "what is a cat person called". Was trying to find a term that wasn't neko...I also looked up how long a light year was in miles.

By the way, I updated New Blood last night after writing for nano.

[NyxxofStars]

Ahaha one time I looked up literally everything there is to know about that one volcanic island right between africa and Europe, but I can't remember the name of it now. (It was going to be a secret lab facility)

[calliopë]

Now i kind of regret it tbh

[dove.]
