Well, "champion" indicates you put those viewpoints above all others. There's only one champion. Which would, logically, imply inequality of interest.

I have lived my entire life in flyover country. I visited NYC for the first time in 2009, at the age of 40. It's not the only city in the world, but it is not hard to see that it is a fertile breeding ground for culture (and cockroaches and rats…). I have no illusions that my hometown of Kansas City is going to be the…

I was 10 or maybe 11 when I first saw this here in the States. I believe it was my first Who story, and it's probably why I still watch the show over 30 years later. I had never heard of the Daleks before I saw Genesis. Wasn't it supposed to be a sort of reintroduction of the Daleks for a new generation when it was…

*sniffle* You made me think of Liz Sladen! Meanie!

Didn't RTD write somewhere that the events of Genesis were what eventually led to the Time War? The Daleks were rather annoyed at the attempted genocide. So, there is your tie-in. The Daleks and the Time Lords both end up sort-of annihilated.

@avclub-d7f43e1fb2d4977c86163d9b0cb07814:disqus It was a relevant response, and thanks for pointing it out, although I don't know how much the Kimberly Process actually affects price. However, Global Witness seems to think it's not working properly. If that's correct, the process is worse than useless: it's a…

@Scrawler2:disqus Yeah, this is one of the first things I found:

Shaun O'Kneel is on a secret mission to Parmistan. I can't give you details, but it involves "snarkata".

O-Nealbot is just biding his time until he returns to defeat the Fire Nation.

He's not out of town. Shawn O'Neil is getting his hydraulic fluid changed.

Unless you peel them, bell peppers give some people (e.g. me) a good case of the green-apple two-step. Best way for me to eat them is roasted, which allows for easy peeling.

Only if you attend the University of Pittsburgh.

Have you ever heard a 5-year-old try to talk about monetary policy? It's pathetic. Damn kids.

Diamonds are not made from compacted coal, although they sometimes contain carbon from organic sources that has been subducted due to plate tectonics. They are/were coughed up (in a rare form of volcanism) from the earth's mantle. They form at a depth of about 150 km, usually below the thickest, oldest part of…

@avclub-d7f43e1fb2d4977c86163d9b0cb07814:disqus : are there any diamonds that were not made cheaper because of human exploitation?

It was checked off, right? That implies a lot of work (and at least one unusual adoption).

The whole saga was just a setup for the "Soon-Yi a family" item on Jenna's sexual walkabout checklist last night on 30 Rock. It was worth it.

Enos or GTFO!

That's Not Yogurt!

Korra fever is what's gotme. What's gotye?
