No, it's scientific language. It's bad science to say that one's study has 'proved' its hypothesis, as there is always the possibility of a research error or an even better hypothesis waiting to be discovered in future.

But Ilium was great! I enjoyed the hell out of it, anyway.

Ooh! I'm adding this to my 'to read' list for sure. Which is already incredibly long, but I'm sure one more can't hurt, right?

Fascinating. It would be interesting if research or the right kind of selection pressure eventually could result in some kind of cognition resembling ours.

Truly shocking. And to think it was only a few thousand years ago that people just knew that it was women who were always thinking about sex due to being more emotional and concerned with the flesh, while men were concerned with higher, intellectual pursuits.

Yes, I remember that. I loved that book.

Oh man I was in the city just yesterday, I totally could have visited it!

Agreed. I haven't yet had the pleasure of watching Mystery Science Theatre 3000, so I actually discovered that gem from watching late night television a few days before Christmas as a teenager with my siblings.

Oh no, you've ruined my dream! I guess I'll just have keep on having to choose between not looking like a dork and being able to see underwater like the rest of you plebs.

My god I've had this same idea for ages!I can't believe it hasn't been invented yet.

Not just braces, but jaw-lengthening surgery involving bone breaking and titanium bolts which are in my jaw to this day. My jaws swelled up to the point where I couldn't brush my teeth for two weeks.

Yes, I always wondered about that. Wouldn't he just go out and get some new boards that were grafitti free?

I was under the impression that Rogue eventually gained control over her power. So no problems with nakedness!

Sounds like my kind of festival, it's a pity I'm on the other side of the world.

As an Australian I have to say dude, not cool.

I think a possible answer is less exposure to germs as children in recent generations. There seems to be an excessive emphasis on sterilising every surface as if it's somehow healthy, to the point where I have to search the supermarket for ages to just find a cleaner that only breaks up grease instead of also…

Yeah me too, it would also be great to have a herb and veggie garden on the roof also. All the delicious fresh food!

Interesting, it kind of reminds me of the design work of the artist/architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser.

I had that same thought! Maybe Rex's immortality isn't quite as permanent as Jack's...

But I love Matt Smith! His Doctor is oftentimes a really a great callback to some of the earlier portrayals of the Doctor. Reminds me of the first and second in particular.
