The central hypothesis of the mythical astronomy theory is that many of the ancient legends of Westeros and the rest of the “Planetos” are actually telling us about the global cataclysm which is known as the Long Night through the use of symbolism and metaphor. The reoccurring turns of phrase that we find throughout the Game of Thrones books create a tapestry of symbolism which is remarkably consistent, and I would suggest, meaningful.

Analysis of GRRM word count per book

The Winds of Winter: Targeted for a 1,500 manuscript page book - but is 1,500 enough? How can TWOW fit into such a book?

Several times in Game of Thrones Tyrion attempts to tell a joke about walking into a brothel with honeycomb and a jackass but the story always gets interrupted before the joke is finished.
Well someone has guessed the rest of the joke and the punchline

Season 1


Season 5 (@ 3:50 )


Tyrion walks into a brothel with a honeycomb and a jackass.

Madame:
What can we do for you?

Tyrion:
I need a woman to lay with, for mine has left me.

Madame:
Whatever for? And what's with the honeycomb and the mule?

Tyrion:
My woman found a genie in a bottle, and he granted her three wishes.
The first was for a house fit for a queen, so he gave her this damn honeycomb.
The second wish was that she have the nicest ass in all the land, so he gave her this damn donkey...

Madame:
And what about the third wish?

Tyrion:
Well... she asked the genie to make my cock hang down past my knee.

Madame:
Well that one's not so bad eh?

Tyrion:
Not so bad!? I used to be six foot three!
