The church’s answer to the question “We are not allowed “men at arms”?

I’m from Germany and I had to look it up to understand what you meant. But you will always have some stupid names and abreviations. For example I always wonder what you Americans think when I see that somebody refered to the Secret Service as the SS. The same with some other stuff. Different generations and different…

Yes, obvious nonsense in a technical description or "hand-wavium" usually takes away from the story. If your spaceship is at the other end of the solar system and 5 minutes later back home without any explanation, or if it's accelerateing to c and back to full stop within seconds that's on of those moments for me…

And while SHIELD loses one Carrier after another, Fury complains about damage to Coulsons plane ...

the teeth are to small for an ork ...remember: Teeth are money

Romeo & Juliet

there was a very interesting lecture about motivation on coursera. It was part of a course about gamification but a short summary would be:

me neither

I think Terry Pratchett wrote about this article / book in his new novel "Snuff" :)

and he only "disfigured" an image of it ... the actual bill is undamaged

it's ok ... but the youtube clip next to it is from "the fifth element"

Well ... whatever many other people say, I liked it. I especially liked that many things which are only mentioned in the book, are shown in the movie. It's not just about Bilbos journey.
