Beautiful art. reminds me of Brian Aldiss' "The Long Afternoon of Earth" when humans and insects kind of converge is size.

Actually (and I can't believe I am first with this), I think Orci is referring to the second pilot episod of ST:TOS, "Where no man has gone before" where new mutant Gary Mitchell (him of the glowy eyes) admits to hooking Kirk up with a yeoman at the Academy in order to distract "the pile of books with legs" who was…

I think not, though they have offered to donate it to anyone (organization, that is) who will take care of it. So far, no takers.

I like Aliens, but only because Alien gave me nightmares for months. I had been following the lead-in to Alien in Heavy Metal for a couple of months and thought, "Wow, this is going to be cool. Space truckers! A grittier, more realistic space movie!"

Pretty amazing shots. I was particularly interested to see the Sea Shadow (second row on right), the stealth ship the Navy played around with back in the 1980s. That baby, and the barge that houses her, is an amazing piece of history.

Very cool. The "love" part was probably cause by his dance number in the suit, though.

Nice piece. Thank you very much.

Sorry, but Superman creates his own foes (usually by accident or inheritance). Batman's foes are mirror images of TDK, created through similar misfortune, but responding to the challenge (unlike Wayne) in a negative fashion.

Yeah, and lose the robe, huh? People want "edgy and dark" not "old guy in a dress."

Hey, it worked real well in Australia! Can you say Bunnies?

Actually, they are competitor species and when it comes to direct confrontation, the Argentine ants (through greater ability to intercolonate and cooperate) usually win.

The first rule of Fireworks Boxing is, you don't talk about Fireworks Boxing.

I know Pluto has been demoted, but Charon is over half the diameter of its parent minor planet.

To be fair, many early experimenters and scientists were, in fact, clinically insane due to their casual self-exposure to noxious gases and elements. Some of the things those folks played around with (mercury, silver iodide, chlorine, phosphorus, etc.) we now understand to be toxic, and to have serious psychological…

Flame of Udun!

I would like to add: "Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very very very much."

I have a particular gesture I would like to make in response to this idiocy, but as I am in a civil society, I shall refrain.
