    While it may be easier to study crow intelligence, I'm more worried about cephalapod intelligence — as even this article says, mammal and crow intelligence developed in the pallium region of a common ancestor's brain, which later differentiated and turned into intelligence centers or moved around, then developed

    "We now know that humans and cats are historically tied together by food," she said.

    As I read this I left my chicken sandwich unguarded, and turned around to find my cat stealing it. Darn her.

    Jaime Lannister's betrayal of his Kingsguard vow, when he killed King Aerys II Targaryen

    The best part is that the books (and TV series) build it up for two installments (seasons/books) building it up as this unforgivable, self-serving betrayal.

    Jaime's point to Brienne is that he's just stopped arguing back against

    That's the *point*: President Clarke ironically accuses everyone else of being traitors when he *himself* betrayed the Earth Alliance: he *assassinated* the previous president to seize office and turn Earth into a fascist police-state.

    Moreover....what's truly disturbing is how gullible people in the story were,

    I imagine that a 30 year old Neanderthal, or Cro-Magnam, was badly weathered by a harsh life to the point that he *looked* 60. I mean, even look at old artwork from a few centuries ago - a hard life of physical labor wears you out pretty quickly. A 25 year old Cro-Magnon didn't look like Miley Cyrus.

    Better concept: the dinosaur is standing outside of the fence. It's some crazy planet where the dinosaurs are the masters and the humans the chattel livestock!

    All of the youtube clips actually using footage of Sarandon herself have been blocked: society must be protected.

    Hamilton acted with her eyes very well, and her silent innocence amidst suffering and fear drove home the brutality of this crazy other planet where apes are the masters and humans the slaves.

    Not a movie.

    Well you know they say life is about the journey and not the destination...

    This happened very fast in the Season 4 finale: what exactly happened in the darkest timeline? Evil Abed briefly explained that he stopped being evil and that Evil Jeff took over society. They had multiple flashovers to the Evil Timeline for 30 second teasers throughout the seasons so it was hard to tell — i.e.

    You can't live life for the thrill!

    I remember an episode of Stargate:Atlantis where they're on a planet and a volcano eruption is going off nearby - as they're trying to free a crashed Ancient ship.

    The team asks Dr. McKay if they can't just evacuate to another continent on the planet; his explicit comparison is that this isn't "a volcano" like Mt. St.

    Actually what I want them to do is skip ahead to Romana IV, and then retroactively reveal that Romana III wasn't a nice person at all (similar to the audio books), but that the Doctor can't kill Romana III without sacrificing Romana IV.

    "I hasten to add that since each man will be expected to do prodigious service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics, which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature."

    "I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea there, doctor."

    He wasn't really all that evil, so much as "tragic monster in a world not of his own making" — the problem was that the Rossum Corporation who made him were *themselves* so evil, greedy, and despicable that it was hard not to sympathize with the guy waging a one man war against them.

    He was the least evil man in an entire universe of evil - how does that apply?

    Up until his ego got so bloated that he started making careless errors.

    Start laughing at your enemy after you're certain they're dead, after you fool! Not seconds before!

    He can't even play a piano well.
