    To be honest it isn't that bad by cartoon standards; at least, not offensive. I.e. they don't actually say "Christmas is great because Jesus is the son of god" or crud; Orco has no idea what Xmas is so the children go "how can you not know what Xmas is? Well the story is..." and then it cuts to another scene. Which

    This doesn't even sound like...normal foul-mouthed internet posting. They seem to have some specific local slang terms they use a lot ("Trou" is an example, but "tight" is used in all sorts of contexts in this e-mail, stuff like that.

    Varys is Lawful Neutral, not Neutral Good. Well, it depends on whose side he's on....he's the "Order" to contrast with Baelish's "Chaos" — Varys is capable of viscious "Realpolitik", but he only does things he thinks are necessary for the safety of the realm. He *may* have had some hand in Ned Stark's downfall, but

    That is not dead which can eternal lie.

    For the record, regarding "let's talk about guns", when asked his position on gun control in the aftermath of the Newtown shooting on Piers Morgan on CNN, Nelson simply said that he has been hunting all of his life, he's hunted bears, but he has never been in a situation in which he needed to fire literally a hundred

    I'm no expert, but regarding the model in the image you posted above, I'm fairly certain that ovaries are not *the size of cantaloupes* in proportion to the size of the uterus. This woman needs immediate medical attention.

    The main diet of the Gharial is fish...that's why it has a notoriously thin snout, so it can move it around really fast to catch fish. The cat might have been in danger of being bitten, but a gharial - particularly one of that size - really wouldn't have much experience going against a land-animal of that size.

    I couldn't even tell what they were selling.

    Polygny is one thing, but polyandry is unnnatural.

    The pattern is basically a V-shape on one cheek, an upside-down V on the other cheek, and a long strip going up the forehead from nose to hairline.

    You can use facepaint patterns to confuse face-recognition software.

    The Zentradi women instantly fall in love with ANY human male because they don't know what love is until they met humans. It's the ultimate fanboy fantasy; they "fly around space, saving planets, and teaching green skinned alien women about this new human emotion called 'love'..." Don't delude yourselves. Plus,

    February 7th is October 19th?!

    "He's the only Vulcan who shows his pecs and hides his face. What's that about?" The pon farr is shielded with ritual, and customs shrouded in antiquity. You humans have no conception.

    It could work in a "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" kind of way.

    Where soon they will write the greatest novel known to man!

    The thing that amazes me about Anime is that...a lot of the best stuff came before 1990. The Japanese stock market crashed in 1990 and in many ways never truly recovered; the 1990's were the "Lost Decade", but many would say its really been a lost TWO decades. At any rate, back in the 1980's they had so much money

    I actually still have my mother's old Barbara Remington editions of the Hobbit and LOTR....well, except for "The Two Towers". I forget what happened but I think she loaned it to a friend in the late 1970's who never returned it, so around 1999 we just bought a one-off paperback of TTT out of sequence. Frankly I'm

    The big thing to learn is that the world isn't out to get you or something; small children think everyone's out to get them, revenge fantasies, etc. The truth is arguably more horrifying.... people's lives can be destroyed by collective apathy. I mean the point where you realize that teachers who should be

    Fans are usually willing to forgive minor plot contradictions if it's good story. People just like to forget that X-Men Origins: Wolverine ever happened. This fixes many problems.
