The Radiolab episode talked about what happened when a radio station in Ecuador broadcasted their version of it—not only did it happen again but everyone went completely batshit insane (i.e. setting the radio station on fire.) I'd be curious if that rates a mention on this show.

Derek Jacobi was Norrell when I was reading it.

"Dune"-era Sting

1) The part in "Ju-On" with the ghost lady crawling up from underneath the covers.
2) The part in "2001" when Frank gets his oxygen cut off.

That'd be a nice trick since it was actually Fred Astaire that did it.

He stuck the rubber ball in his armpit to block his brachial artery so as not to have a pulse. Some stills have suggested that some

One of the guys (can't remember which) was talking about the problems involved with writing for readers that may have read superhero comics as kids but then were wanting more "mature" storylines when they got older. In my opinion, what's wrong

I've become strangely hooked on Pocoyo just because Stephen Fry narrates it.

Just wait until the Screaming Anime Children stage hits…

Word Girl is still on!

Exactly. Couple of reasons why the "private sector" doesn't compare is—-
1) Believe it or not, there actually are still plenty of households that don't have cable TV. (Oh, yeah, and aren't libertarian jerks always bitching about poor people spending their welfare money to pay for cable? So which is it supposed to be,

TWELVE-SIDED DIED

I at least hope it's going to be some real hardcore knitting—sport weight yarn on about 5 DPNs with a bunch of color changes in it, none of this 2 skeins of Jiffy on a Knifty Knitter bullshit…
