Wait, wait, wait, I thought all kids got their implants out by the time they were 6 or 7? Ender had his longer, that was part of the start because they didn't know how he'd react, if it was more dangerous to remove the implant with him having it longer. So, I didn't think that the implant was an active part of their…

365 days, 365+ characters possible (some days with multiple characters) and I get PataPataPeppy from Hello Kitty . . .

I was saddened to go to Wikipedia and look up Earth, only to find that "Mostly Harmless" doesn't show up anywhere on the page at all . . . I would have thought someone would have at least been able to sneak that into a sentence somewhere on the page.

Well stated...and now I'm hungry...

We went for the sunrise, first day on the island figuring we were still on Mountain time and it wouldn't be too bad getting up that early. Unfortunately there was a lot of cloud cover so we didn't get as spectacular of a show as others, but it was still pretty cool.

"The problem got so bad that after multiple accidents and fatalities the National Park Service banned commercial bike tours in Haleakala National Park."

Good point, didn't think of that...unfortunately won't like me edit the post, but I'll make sure to do that in the future.

Only if I can play as Beric Dondarrion, and get to come back to life infinitely.

I know he was talking about Dr. Horrible 2, but this is Joss Whedon we're talking about . . . his main signature is that no one is safe, he'll kill a character that you're very connected with and invested in.

More ominously, he says, "you can expect the death of someone you love." - Joss Whedon

Tecnically, Branson doesn't "rejuvinate" himself like "The Lazarus Experiment" episode of Doctor Who, it's pretty clearly labeled a Time Machine on the glass door and he comes out with a vinyl LP and 70's garb (along with being younger, of course). Of course, the obvious connection would be David Tennant in anything…

I'm re-reading the 2nd book to job my memory of the scenes before I watch, and I just got that scene late last week with Theon trying to get Asha (said she was the shipwright's pregnant wife) into bed, and loved that reveal. Really showed how much of a dick Theon is, and how he just doesn't get how things really work…

Ah, that makes sense given that guy's history of being a lying prick. Would certainly explain why none of his "pictures" had him in them.

and they couldn't find and kick out Paul "douchebag" Chistoforo . . . of course, he didn't drop trou in the middle of a panel either

I've used my Motorola S9 headphones at the gym for years, and I love them. I'd broken a few wired headsets over the years, catching it on something walking by or the like. I've never used the S9 for calls, though, so I can't attest to that functionality and sound, but for music and audiobooks at the gym they work…

Or, "I thought you'd be taller..."

What I want to know is if there's anyone there dressed as that douche PR guy who got in the fight with Gabe...

"Here is the macabre tale of the journeys taken by Lincoln's corpse over the decades before 1901, when at last it came to rest in a ten foot block made of cement and steel."

I'm right there with you. Not a medical oncologist, but my wife and I have been battling breast cancer since Dec. 2008, so I think I have a bit of experience with it as well. In our case, it was already Stage 2 when it was found, reclassified as Stage 3 during the surgery I think because it was found to have spread to…

We got caught in that one too down in Gilbert - I was at home and my car was in the garage so it was ok, but my wife was at the dentist at the time and we wound up with about $2k worth of damage to her car. Had another hailstorm just a couple weeks ago, but it was really just pebble-sized and didn't cause any…
