Is it possible for a game to read two mice separately? Sure. It's not common, but it's possible.

The game "Lemmings" was ported everywhere in the early 1990s, but the original Amiga version supported two mice at the same time (two mice, two players, two cursors).

That's a rare example of a game that designed in some support for two mice, and that support was specific to one platform.

RHCP = Rocky Horror Chilli Peppers?

(your points are all good, I just found the abbreviations amusing)

My hot water bottle betrayed me!

Woke up this morning feeling a bit damp but didn't connect the dots until the water had soaked through a couple of layers all the way to the mattress. Bum.

I guess I didn't seal the lid properly or something.

The German TV show "Dark" featured a (nostalgic?) dish called Toast Hawaii. I think it's just ham and cheese on toast plus a pineapple ring.

Now that I check, Wikipedia says it also had a cherry on top. Wild.

Is "Bea Wolf" on your radar?

It's an illustrated children's book about a children's party in a treehouse.

But apparently somehow it's an adaptation of the ancient epic?

Is it still true that posting a picture of your boarding pass on social media is enough to let strangers get your passport number and phone number from the Qantas website?
