Nah, people in the Paleolithic were significantly more health than later agriculturalists. But that is because they ate a wide variety of foods, unlike agriculturalists who depended on one (wheat, rice, corn, etc). The trick is just to eat a health variety of different foods.

I liked Book of Eli!

INTEGRITY OF GAME

It is kind of a pity he is going back to acoustic folk stuff. Don't get me wrong his folk stuff is great and I'm sure the album will be too, but I was hoping he would continue in whatever weird direction Age of Adz was.

But it is so much easier to pretend that persistent racism in the country is the fault of marginalized rural populations that talk funny!

Fighting religious bigotry with class bigotry. ur a hero

At least from what I have seen, a lot of his psychopathic tendencies stem from pretty severe PTSD. Apparently it hits snipers very badly because they actually need to watch their handiwork.

That could actually make a pretty decent heartstring puller show.

I always thought calling WWN a "parody" cheapens it—it is its own, wonderfully demented thing.

I was kind one wondering what the over/under on the top comment being an Archer joke was.

Well…well alright then. Er…just watch your ass, I've got my eye on you!

Also I'm going to level an implied attack against Bush for…

You know what I think would be better? Just fuck it. Fuck all the ideas of continuity. Everybody goes on about how comic books are a form of mythology, well let's just pull out the breaks and let creative people do with the characters whatever they want without impacting what other creative people do. I mean, can you…

That scene had no business working as well as it did.

I can second this as Cruise at his finest. His natural charm and charisma adds enormously to his portrayal of a cool and confident hitman. It would be difficult to strike the balance neccesary, but he does. Fox also does well, but he could play this sort of everyman role in his sleep.

Alright! Forum memes, here I come!
