Slender Man
Slender Man (also spelled Slenderman) is a fictional supernatural character that originated as a creepypasta Internet meme created by Something Awful forum user Eric Knudsen (also known as "Victor Surge") in 2009. He is depicted as a thin, unnaturally tall humanoid with a featureless head and face, wearing a black suit. Stories of the Slender Man commonly feature him stalking, abducting, or traumatizing people, particularly children. The Slender Man has become a pop culture icon, although he is not confined to a single narrative but appears in many disparate works of fiction, typically composed online. Fiction relating to the Slender Man encompasses many media, including literature, art and video series such as ''Marble Hornets'' (2009–2014), wherein he is known as The Operator. The character has appeared in the video game '' Slender: The Eight Pages'' (2012) and its successor '' Slender: The Arrival'' (2013), as well as inspiring the Enderman in ''Minecraft''.

The Eight Pages
''Slender: The Eight Pages'' (originally titled ''Slender'') is a first-person survival horror game based on the Slender Man, an infamous creepypasta (online horror story). It was developed by indie developer Mark J. Hadley with Unity, and released in June 2012 as a beta for Microsoft Windows and OS X by Parsec Productions. In ''Slender: The Eight Pages'', the player must collect eight pages scattered around a dark forest while avoiding the Slender Man, who pursues them throughout the game. It has simple graphics and gameplay limited to walking, running and using a flashlight. ''The Eight Pages'' was largely praised by critics for its effective horror and atmosphere despite its graphics, although several considered the gameplay repetitive. ''The Eight Pages'' became popular through Let's Plays and inspired many fangames based on Slender Man. Parsec Productions and Blue Isle Studios released a sequel called ''Slender: The Arrival'' the following year. Gameplay ''Slender: ...

The Merry Wives Of Windsor
''The Merry Wives of Windsor'' or ''Sir John Falstaff and the Merry Wives of Windsor'' is a comedy by William Shakespeare first published in 1602, though believed to have been written in or before 1597. The Windsor of the play's title is a reference to the town of Windsor, also the location of Windsor Castle, in Berkshire, England. Though nominally set in the reign of Henry IV or early in the reign of Henry V, the play makes no pretence to exist outside contemporary Elizabethan-era English middle-class life. It features the character Sir John Falstaff, the fat knight who had previously been featured in ''Henry IV, Part 1'' and '' Part 2''. It has been adapted for the opera at least ten times. The play is one of Shakespeare's lesser-regarded works among literary critics. Tradition has it that ''The Merry Wives of Windsor'' was written at the request of Queen Elizabeth I. After watching ''Henry IV Part I'', she asked Shakespeare to write a play depicting Falstaff in love. Char ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gracility
Gracility is slenderness, the condition of being gracile, which means slender. It derives from the Latin adjective ''gracilis'' (masculine or feminine), or ''gracile'' ( neuter), which in either form means slender, and when transferred for example to discourse takes the sense of "without ornament", "simple" or various similar connotations. In ''Glossary of Botanic Terms'', B. D. Jackson speaks dismissively of an entry in earlier dictionary of A. A. Crozier as follows: ''Gracilis (Lat.), slender. Crozier has the needless word "gracile"''. However, his objection would be hard to sustain in current usage; apart from the fact that ''gracile'' is a natural and convenient term, it is hardly a neologism. The ''Shorter Oxford English Dictionary'' gives the source date for that usage as 1623 and indicates the word is misused (through association with ''grace'') for Gracefully slender." This misuse is unfortunate at least, because the terms ''gracile'' and ''grace'' are unrelated: the etym ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Slender Group
In mathematics, a slender group is a torsion-free abelian group that is "small" in a sense that is made precise in the definition below. Definition Let ZN denote the Baer–Specker group, that is, the group of all integer sequences, with termwise addition. For each natural number ''n'', let ''e''''n'' be the sequence with ''n''-th term equal to 1 and all other terms 0. A torsion-free abelian group ''G'' is said to be slender if every homomorphism from ZN into ''G'' maps all but finitely many of the ''e''''n'' to the identity element. Examples Every free abelian group is slender. The additive group of rational numbers Q is not slender: any mapping of the ''e''''n'' into Q extends to a homomorphism from the free subgroup generated by the ''e''''n'', and as Q is injective this homomorphism extends over the whole of ZN. Therefore, a slender group must be reduced. Every countable reduced torsion-free abelian group is slender, so every proper subgroup of Q is slender. Proper ...
