Created the heavens and the earth in 7 days, dawg.

Like magic sky-men and psychic powers or terraforming?

I like this. It kind of gets back to the roots of science fiction : Actually out to provoke thought and debate. Look at this thing that totally changes our understanding of existence. What do we do now? Don't see a lot of stories like that anymore.

I mean the alternative is being an adult, so that's right out.

F-Word was a great show.

dicing without the horizontal cuts gets you larger pieces towards the sides of the half you're working on, and doesn't really affect the interior. Knowing that, I score about an inch deep on either side before I dice if I care.

That will become an important plot point when they inevitably make a movie about this.

I’m pretty sure SyFy had a movie based on this plot.

Only if it's a Queen cover band.

“I think we’ll find there’s rich data to be mined for years to come.”

If Mercury is especially carbon rich, data's not the only thing they'll be mining.

It's fine, but you'll want to leave the panel van at home this time.

Lord the first 10 minutes of UP was a gut-punch.

What do you mean, all four tires are properly inflated, we're good to go!

At least, until he meets Lucille.

It looks to me like the Mercedes was tracking back onto the road when it hit the truck. It got bounced off the curb, but it's more the constable's timing that saved him, and the curb that kept the truck from plowing him instead.

"Qu’ils mangent de la brioche."

The more you tighten your grip, the more shows will slip through your fingers.

There had better be some Ben Franklin fucking superscience, and monstrously evil redcoats, and a heroic sacrifice.

Much as I love AWD, It’s not something you want or should get in a first car. Its handling is counter-intuitive at the limits, as many, many former WRX drivers learned the hard way via backing into poles and trees at 80mph.
