Ghetto Fighter: keepin' it real on the fantasy dwarf tip, yo.

You know, I'm not religious. But this thing has a kind of "slow night in Science Fiction and Fantasy Land, gotta spend time with the significant other, can't think of anything else to say, so I'll stir the pot and pander to the atheists in the crowd" feel to it.

Perhaps they will be pairing it with old reruns of The Colber Repor.

This might be a dumb question, but: "200 degrees west longitude"? How do you decided where to start that on a new world? Does Ganymede already have a Greenwich England to start counting from?

Okay, I know I found a dopey way to phrase that, but it's still a legitimate question, I figure.

Maybe there's hope we'll see Jaxxon in the upcoming Stars Wars films, then.

I just finished it, and I believe it could easily replace every motivational bestseller ever. It is an awe-inspiring tribute to the power of believing in your dreams. Even if, in fact, your dreams are INSANE. I now have a weird respect for the Juggernaut that is Wiseau that I didn't before.

Hey, is that Fry from Futurama in GotG too? Woo hoo, sign me up!

Awesome (adj): to make lots of money despite poor quality.

First io9 runs "Who's the coolest group of friends who save the world together?" and now THIS, and not once a mention of Buckaroo Banzai. Oh, the shame.

(shrug) No more than usual on a quiet Tuesday night.

You're right of course. I'm here to convert the world to believing in astrology, and I'm going to do it in the comments section on an io9 piece. :)

Hasn't the tropical zodiac been in use since at least Ptolemy, who came several hundred years before ibn Hayyan?

Actually, that's one of the arguments against astrology that never impresses anyone familiar with astrology. Skeptics who use that particular argument to shoot down astrology have not actually paid any attention to how astrology is done.

11) Never skimp on the hair styling products.

  1. Truly, astrologers are able to determine the time of birth based on the date and place, by looking at past events in your life. It's called a "rectification." Presumably one could also be done without knowing the date or place, but that would involve a gigantic amount of work.

Makes sense to me. And just in case anyone was worried when I first posted this question... Holocaust Deniers totally *suck*. :)

5.4 million people died in the Holocaust? Why does that number keep changing so much? Last time I looked it was more like 10 million.

Will your Mom be my friend?

It's obviously deliberate on the part of The Droid Manufacturing Cartel. You need a translator for your astromech droid because that way you have to buy TWO droids. It's like how hotdogs come in 10 per pack but hotdog buns come in packs of 12. It's just greed. Unchecked greed, that's all.

Good. One can only eat so much "Sharktopus" before going insane and smashing the TV with a hammer.
