The Great A'Tuin

Or you can just plan to have the house on wheels from the get-go.

I don't want the bible taken literally, I don't want the bible to be used at all, but if you base your religion off the bible, then you need to accept that the bible is true and if you only accept that parts of the bible is true then you can't act surprised/hurt/rejected/angry that other people think that the parts…

I think what Yardoz is trying to get at is that while there are parts of the bible that are interpretable (be that parables, or psalms, or whatever), there ARE parts of the bible that are edicts, or rules, that are clearly stated, and not subject to interpretation.

He should have just used parts from his plane to build a new one.

I actually liked Man of Steel, but it had big flaws - and the biggest of them is not even in this video. Am I the only one who found it unbelievably badly paced? Between the Arctic rescue and the final battle with Zod, the movies just grind to an halt and plod for a good hour before starting again. Like a majority of…

You wanna know what more needs to be said here? Absolutely nothing.

My hair is so poofy and curly, I wish it could be better.

I can't tell you how much I needed this post. Though my particular fascination with making penicillin is not so much a zombie apocalypse scenario as a time travel one. I often find myself thinking about what I could contribute if I were send back in time. Feeding a fuckload of cherries to people with gout etc. But…

Which all seem to me to be semantic issues that I that I'm sure would be dismissed as irrelevant by most cognitive scientists. If it looks like a duck and quacks like duck we can be reasonably sure it's likely to be a duck.

Oh, is this the one where Superman takes on JJ Abrams?

Clarke also believed till his death in cold fusion and eugenics, thought women shouldn't be astronauts because of their distracting breast jiggling and "predicted" artificial satellites would be bigger than the ISS and manned.

good god, this is why male genital autonomists get pissed off! its the same fucking thing! its a baby, not giving consent to a brutal procedure that removes over two thirds of his penile nerves and half his skin! that pinkie nail scrap on a newborn translates into a huge piece of skin in an adult male. if you take the…

Great Article and fun critters! I loved that big lumpsucker (you can get some cute little ones for acquariums!)

MBARI had a great video on the various sorts of locomotion that creatures use in the deep that's positively mesmerizing.

The Power of Love?!!!!!! A flaming katana that bursts from your chest. Come on! Some props for that!

Death's sword from the Discworld series. Sharing the traits of his scythe blade, it is quite possibly (one of the two) sharpest blades in the universe, it is "capable of slicing air, shadows and even time. Most importantly, it is designed to sever souls from their mortal shells. The blade is almost transparent, but…

They looked down at Captain Carrot's sword. It was short, sharp and plain. It was a working sword. It had no runes on it. No mystic gleam twinkled on its edge.
