Gauntlet was originally an arcade game made in the early 80's. It was one of the first "top-down" view role playing games, in which you could control one of four types of player classes. The objective of the game was to find keys and kill enemies and proceed to new rooms. Has seen many incarnations on various systems over time.

Get the gauntlet mug.A diet pioneered by Dr. Atkins, in which he emphasizes an extreme reduction in carbohydrates in one's principal diet to lose weight. The person on the diet is required to eat a certain amount of protein a day to help with repairs in musicle mass.
Critics painstakingly try to debunk the Atkins diet as being ridiculous and lame, but the science behind the diet doesn't lie. Since carbohydrates are your body's primary energy source, significantly reducing them causes your body to start burning it's second natural energy source: stored fat. When your body starts doing this, it's in a state called "ketosis." (Not to be confused with ketoacidosis, a dangerous conditions that diabetics can slip into if a certain blood-sugar level isn't maintained.)
Objective studies have shown that, over time, this diet is just as effective as any other diet.
Contrary to what the morons say on here, you ARE restricted in what types of proteins you consume, and you don't TOTALLY eliminate carbohydrates. You're simply eliminating the types that have a high impact on your blood-sugar level.
Furthermore, critics like to argue that consumption of high amounts of proteins and cholesterol while on this program have a detrimental effect on your health. This is almost always untrue. Since you no longer have excess sugar to burn (from your own consumption), your body changes over from a sugar-burning metabolism to a fat-burning metabolism. The excess fat and cholesterol consumed by you is simply burned away.

Get the Atkins diet mug.A person who repeatedly uses an AI glitch in a video game to their advantage. This is seen most often on sports titles, with Madden NFL Football and NCAA Football having some of the biggest known glitches.
These "glitches" are nearly impossible to defend against, since they are a flaw in the programming of the application.

This bastard throws a Hail Mary on every play and completes the pass 85% of the time. In real life, this does not happen.

Get the glitch gamer mug.A group of people who are Christians but place great importance in the Book of Mormon, for which there is little evidence for.
The Book of Mormon claims that there was vast civilizations all along the east coast of America.
Too bad we haven't even found a pot to support that claim.
