I didn't see this anywhere else so I thought I would add it to this thread since Jacket Tag is mentioned. Taken from the Amazon site.

Who is the Hero of Ages?

To end the Final Empire and restore freedom, Vin killed the Lord Ruler. But as a result, the Deepness---the lethal form of the ubiquitous mists---is back, along with increasingly heavy ashfalls and ever more powerful earthquakes. Humanity appears to be doomed.

Having escaped death at the climax of The Well of Ascension only by becoming a Mistborn himself, Emperor Elend Venture hopes to find clues left behind by the Lord Ruler that will allow him to save the world. Vin is consumed with guilt at having been tricked into releasing the mystic force known as Ruin from the Well. Ruin wants to end the world, and its near omniscience and ability to warp reality make stopping it seem impossible. She can’t even discuss it with Elend lest Ruin learn their plans!

The conclusion of the Mistborn trilogy fulfills all the promise of the first two books. Revelations abound, connections rooted in early chapters of the series click into place, and surprises, as satisfying as they are stunning, blossom like fireworks to dazzle and delight. It all leads up to a finale unmatched for originality and audacity that will leave readers rubbing their eyes in wonder, as if awaking from an amazing dream.

That's awesome - I'm going to add one to my desktop too! 

What are you doing online on a server though!  lol

I was doing some system maintenance and couldn't help but visit timewastersguide in the downtimes.

I have mixed feelings about Warbreaker. There were some things I really liked about the book and others that still have me scratching my head. 

Spoiler partially hidden for those that haven't read.
I mean, Vasher spends all that time investigating the secret entrance and then just takes the window instead? And what's with the whole Susebron as James Bond bit? "Take him below to kill later when I won't be watching. Oh and put him within arms reach of the one person that can ruin all our plans."

Yeah, I wasn't disagreeing with Reaves. Merely pointing out that advancement of civilization plays a big part in it too. Recent changes in marriage laws in the US came about mostly because of statistics showing that women getting married earlier had a tendency to forego education and got divorced sooner (leading to other issues). Life expectancy played a minor role in these decisions, whereas welfare concerns played a bigger part.

lol thats what i've been thinking since the minute i read this topic, but i didn't want to be rude enough to say so xD

Guilt by association. Why do you have to be so rude? :evilgrin:

I just want to know if people with tongue rings are worried about acid eating away their hemalurgic abilities.

If I recall correctly, saliva is just slightly acidic, but not enough to make much difference in the digestion process. That is done mostly by the enzymes that VegasDev was talking about.

I was just joking, I'm a programmer not a scientist although I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night. Back in the day I did play alot of bar trivia and I seem to recall that saliva is more of an alkaline base, which is essentially the opposite of an acid.
