are you sure? doesn't 3G suck battery like a motherfucker?

Now you REALLY have to tell us how this happened

If he's had 8000 years to do it, he's had time to turn quite a few babies

I don't think so, I thought that was clear in the books, and clearer in the show

Those were two downloaded mp3, who knows where they came from. I got checked twice last year (2 years after my post, I might add) and my hearing's just fine for my age :)

I find the lack of Starburns in Zardoz costume gifs in the comments... disturbing

I saw what you did there.
It's either that, or Muphry's Law

I don't remember where I read it, but the opposite sounds like more unlikely to me, because pretty much every quality of life factor is linked with a higher IQ. I'd be interesting to see what happened the last few years, with recession etc

Edit: WP says this is called the Flynn effect, I'm not going to pretend that I…

And yet IQ tests have to be adjusted every year to keep 100 as the average instead of it rising and rising

As for off-world penal colonies, it would be a lot cheaper to alleviate the conditions that typically drive young people to commit crimes, from lack of health recreational activities to parents incarcerated for minor drug offenses and so on.

In my experience, academics don't have these arguments because they never talk to people who think the superiority of (Science/Humanities) is obvious. But when they do, they do have them.
