It was because you could get cramps while swimming and then drown. This seems ridiculous (and it is) but I saw one of those "educational" school film strips where some kids died because they didn't wait 30 minutes after eating before going for a swim.

Why would you be filing a missing persons report after 3 hours unless it was a child or a person that was otherwise unable to take care of themselves (elderly/mentally handicapped)?

My daughter loves Totoro. And also things that are kind of creepy. So this would pretty much be the perfect Christmas gift.

You probably weren't invited to the other one.

It might be worth mentioning that the Amazon Fire TV Stick is already backordered all the way to Christmas. I ordered one this morning and the expected arrival date was Dec. 24.

1) It was, in fact, a very small jar of water.

If it's your first time at ATL or your first time in a large, international airport, then it can be confusing (edit: maybe 'intimidating' is a better word than 'confusing'). But if you take a second to pay attention to what's going on, you notice that all the terminals are arranged in a straight line and the trains…

I've got an anecdote that might one-up you. I bought a souvenir for my son at the airport and it wasn't allowed through security. It was one of those stupid little 'tornado-in-a-jar' things. More than 4oz of liquid, I guess.

Oh, god, yes. KCI is terrible. I almost forgot about that little slice of hell. You're packed into your gate like sardines. I have terrible memories of literally pushing my way through the crowd to reach the men's restroom at which there was a line because there were only three stalls. And since the security…

ATL's really not that bad once you figure out how to use their train (which isn't difficult at all). It's one of the biggest airports in the country but I can get from one side all the way to the other in 5-10 minutes. And there's a pretty good restaurant selection. Granted, the terminals can get super crowded if…

Let me preface this by saying that I own an iPhone and several Android tablets. I'm pretty platform agnostic.

A main character in a Star Wars story has to have some reason for traveling from planet to planet. That character can start off as a normal everyman (like Luke) but will eventually have to be swept up into the bigger picture in order to maintain the motivation to travel from planet to planet (again, like Luke). In the…

I would watch a buddy-cop TV series about them.

What's most appealing though—especially for photographers—is that built-in SD card slot. Combined with the battery power, you can transfer all your photos or videos without the annoyance of taking out your computer and hooking up the drive.

"The manganese powder gives our cigarettes a smooth flavor doctors prefer!"

People tend to forget now, but the point of the original Star Wars was to be a pastiche of sci-fi/space opera tropes. For a decade or two, sci-fi had been super serious. Stuff like Logan's Run, 2001, and Planet of the Apes. Star Wars was old school pulpy goodness. It wasn't supposed to be "original".

I don't think that'd be necessary. This is augmented reality, not virtual reality. AR is generally about layering graphics and info over what you're already seeing. Having a bunch of graphics or info in your peripheral vision sounds more annoying than practical.

Dawn of Justice ——> Dawn of the Justice League

Wow. Even with the sound effects I got bored with that scene halfway through. If your protagonist is an unstoppable badass your fight scenes will have no tension. Without tension all you're left with is a very well choreographed dance. Granted, the choreography here is great but it doesn't engage me in any real way.

So my biggest problem with the whole "Lady Thor" thing is that it's obviously not going to be permanent. These changes (almost) never are. Especially since there's a successful movie franchise starring Man Thor.
