[WP] We think that we have incredibly advanced technology, but we're wrong. Every device is, in fact a mimic. Dryers feast on socks, blenders eat the food inside of them, and you don't want to know what computers do. You've just figured this out after seeing your dryer trying to hide its teeth.	15
[WP] You are a crow, sitting in your nest. Suddenly, you find yourself standing before a cat wearing wizard robes and wielding a staff, performing the ancient rite that allows one to summon a familiar. Both you and the cat are equally scandalized by this turn of events.	14
[WP] You're set with the task of entertaining your little sister, and for fun you hide your hand while projecting a shadow onto the wall. When she looks unimpressed at your trick, you ask her why. She frowns. "What's so special about that? My shadow does it all the time."	13
[WP] The villain is so incompetent that he always triggers the traps he makes to kill the heroes himself. He always survives, however, which is a testament to his horrible trap-making ability.	13
[WP] Once upon a time, there was a brave knight. The problem? The world was at peace, all hostile monsters had been gotten rid of, and the monarchy had been eliminated to get rid of any evil kings.	12
[WP] The set of powers people call magic were actually the result of a parasite that slowly took control of hosts' bodies and minds. The ancients found a way to kill these parasites, resulting in the lack of magic today. People all over the world have begun to develop magic powers.	12
[WP] The villain is so incompetent that he always triggers the traps he makes to kill the heroes himself. He always survives, however, which is a testament to his horrible trap-making ability.	11
[WP] It was a great mystery as to how dragons, which are mostly peaceful creatures, have such large hordes. When the world found out that dragons' shed scales turned into precious metals and jewels, it caused problems -- both for the dragons and the creatures who tried to take them and their hordes.	11
[WP] In your world, where superpowers are real, you've heard the stories of townsfolk suddenly treating a powerless citizen as a super-hero or villain. Well, that's happened to you except you are being treated as both a super-hero and a super-villain. Simultaneously.	9
[WP] People tend to view vampires as semi-invulnerable beasts of legend. In reality, they're dying out. Why? All that "blood sucking" has given most of them nasty diseases.	8
