I don't think that's it, try covering the cross with your finger and keeping your eyes on that (or any other object you want to use), the illusion still seems to work the same.

Let's not forget the 1978 movie where all the Avengers fought KISS!

I don't think this interpretation of The Man in the High Castle is necessarily right:

It seems from the header picture that the artist's fantasy film version of The Man in the High Castle would star Richard Dean Anderson...

Some argue that it would be possible to test the many-worlds interpretation against at least some alternate interpretations by designing a quantum computer that could keep a large complicated system in an isolated quantum superposition for a time, a la Schroedinger's cat, and then later measure its state in enough…

Minor point, but the song Cars came out in 1979, and a number of pages such as this one (see the bottom) say the video came out in 1980. I do agree the aesthetic of Beyond the Black Rainbow looks to be a bit more late 70s than early 80s, but I don't know if it'd really be wholly outdated by 1983, and also the line…

There have been some movies based on the Jewish legend of the golem before (and an X-Files episode!), and Pi incorporated some cool stuff about Kabbalistic numerology...this may be the first movie about "dybbuks" since 1937, though.

I also remember once seeing a documentary that suggested hypoxia (low oxygen) would be a nice way to go, and showed tests of the effects on some people—they just seemed relaxed and out-of-it and showed no interest in putting on an oxygen mask even when told they really needed to by the researchers (apparently this is…

Is that the extent of your argument for why it's irrational? There are plenty of theories that deal with things not experienced in everyday experience (subatomic particles, dark matter, events in the distant past, etc.), but if the theory doesn't predict we should experience them in our everyday life, that's not a…

OK, "irrational" doesn't actually imply a logical contradiction, for example it's irrational but not logically contradictory to believe the world is flat (unless you also believe some other things which logically imply the world is not flat). But if you think it's irrational, do you have an argument for that? Even if…

And they're all morons for thinking that.

I've heard those stories, but as the wiki article says at the end, "What appears to be a head responding to the sound of its name, or to the pain of a pinprick, may be only random muscle twitching or automatic reflex action, with no awareness involved. At worst, it seems that the massive drop in cerebral blood…

It's Weyland corp. that created the David androids—Weyland apparently hasn't merged with Yutani yet.

OK, here is a non-blogspot link discussing the same study (the actual citation is The Lancet, Volume 365, Page 1412, April 16, 2005, and the abstract can be seen on The Lancet's website here). They picked a sample of 49 inmates due to be executed by lethal injection (since they didn't know the outcome in advance I…

It seems like you're using "illogical" when what you really mean is counter-intuitive—"illogical" should technically mean an actual logical contradiction, which would be a paradox. In fact quantum physicists take the idea of multiple parallel worlds coexisting in the same space quite seriously since the basic…

Also, i would guess that lethal injection works just fine for most

I've read that the sudden huge drop in blood pressure would probably cause you to faint almost instantly—there is probably still some measurable brain activity in a person who has fainted, though, so the finding of brain waves in mice wouldn't necessarily mean they were conscious.

In centuries past, beheading was actually preferable to other common forms of execution (such as being burned alive or disemboweled).

Conan is always doing intentionally creepy faces like that, it's part of his schtick

Branching timelines may get confusing, but it doesn't lead to actual paradoxes like the idea of a single timeline that can be "changed". When you say "ill logic", do you think there are any paradoxes there? If so, can you give an example?
