During freshman orientation in college, another dude and I were paired up for trust falls. Now, more than a decade later, he's one of my closest friends.

On a similarly vaguely related note, I worked at a homeless shelter for a few years after college. One night, while this guy was telling me how he just got out of the hospital after having a seizure in a store, he started having another seizure. Like you said, I pretty much just tried to keep him from falling skull…

Promethe-them?

That is the first thing I've seen that's actually tempted to me to bother getting a smart phone.

You beat me to it. It's kind of funny that almost everything on my Kindle comes from there; I'm using a 21st gadget to read stuff from before modern computers were invented.

RE: Albert Einstein: You can tell it's a Con, because it's related to the fairy storyline. And Sookie was in the scene.

I like how we assume it's the real moon that's upside down, and not the fictional space station.

Or if they have a slower orbit, in the range of decades, like Jupiter and Saturn, it would take as at least that long to notice them. A lot of the planets we've discovered outside out solar system orbit their stars in days or weeks, so they're easier to spot, since they cross their stars so often; I'd imagine for…

In the interview, it looks like the interviewer said something like "Lucas isn't hungry to do another Indiana Jones movie?" Then, Marshall responded "No, he isn't." So, when this post quoted Marshall saying "he isn't," it had to include explain who isn't what. Since Marshall didn't actually speak the words "hungry…

Ha ha, yeah, what the hell did I mean by "big?" Guess that's what happens with too much coffee and too little sleep.

Batman/Grendel is definitely good; anything written and illustrated by Matt Wagner is probably a safe bet.

I think will.I.spin is referring the score that was made specifically for the film, then never used. The music in that clip is a piece of music that already existed, and Kubrick decided to use it, instead.

Wow. How can anyone say or think anything negative about Joel McHale? I believe cable television exists for the sole purpose of giving him stuff to make fun of.

"Planet" used to mean, more or less, "big thing in the sky," so the moon and sun were both called "planets." Of course, that was when the Earth wasn't called a planet, because folks still thought the Earth was at the center.

If those pictures bother you, you should definitely avoid the movie "Melancholia." (It's a really good movie, though.)

"...falls hopelessly in love with a woman who seems to be a reincarnation of his dead wife"

I never understand how the recap makes the show sound so much more entertaining than it actually was.

I remember reading about exactly that somewhere. I don't recall exact details, but there were identifiable levels of prescription drugs, particularly anti-depressants and other mood/psychological related drugs, in some city's water.

How about Hephaestus / Iron Man? God of metal and technology, with a physical impairment, sounds about right. (I remember equating a bunch of Greco-Roman gods to Marvel superheroes years ago, but that's the only one I can remember now.)
