Not quite.
Houdini was backstage being visited by some college student fans. He was reclining (as he had injured his ankle a week earlier) when the topic of Houdini's legendary ability to take a punch to the stomach came up. One of the students asked if he could throw some punches to test this out and Houdini obliged…

Well, crap. Hoist on my own snarktard.
That'll teach me to demand things be accurate!

"less widely beloved"?
Houdini was in the middle of a sold-out tour when he died. If you're gonna be snarky, at least be factually correct.

Food processor! Pfffft. Simplify, man!

I have no idea why the article specifies knuckles. I just use my finger. And no, you won't burn yourself doing that. But it does take some practice to learn the proper feel of when a steak is cooked to your preference.
I wouldn't recommend cutting a steak in half to tell if it's done because if it's not, it might not…

Heck, I don't even know what happened to the little plastic cleaning tool that came with my grill. I use hot soapy water and a sponge, almost as if it were no different then anything else I use to cook.

I don't have a George Foreman brand indoor grill so maybe all these complaints about it are true. But I do have a Cuisinart brand indoor grill which seems like pretty much the same machine to me and it's fucking fantastic. I use it at least once a week. Salmon filets in particular come out perfect every time. I've…

Yeah, I used to pronounce my personal subjective taste as absolute fact ("That band sucks") but as I've gotten older and (I hope) wiser I've realized how ridiculous that is. Now when people ask me "What's your opinion of _____" and it's something I don't personally enjoy, I sincerely reply along the lines of, "I…

I truly don't understand why filmmakers and actors haven't figured out that with but a few exceptions, any accent other than an actor's natural one is a bad choice and pulls people out of their immersion in a film. I mean, moviegoers have only been pointing this out for, oh, like a century now. I actually use this…

Yeah, I pieced it together from other comments downthread but I appreciate the reply/explanation. Sure is goofy, though given Kang is an Avengers villain and obviously doesn't need to also be Rama-Tut (and just as obviously was not intended to be when first introduced. Let this be a lesson to future ret-conners!)

Not doubting you but why would they have Kang?

I wouldn't call gender a "made-up thing" although I get your point.
Like so many things in the universe, I think of gender as a spectrum.

For the record, I didn't quote Urban Dictionary as an authority on anything, I just thought it was funny.
Heck, I don't even agree it proves someone is stupid. Not only do we all make mistakes, we all probably misspell words which we've heard but maybe not seen (often) in print.
My criticism is really about the lack of…

I think it's fair to make a distinction between amateurs commenting and professionals publishing content. The lack of editing on this site is truly dreadful and has caused me to stop reading quite a few articles. Why they don't seem to care about how badly this reflects on themselves remains a mystery.

My criterion for whether I'm gonna listen to someone or not is if they have a ridiculous litmus test for judging other people based on something completely subjective and personal.

If it's a joke, I don't get it.

Swaray? SWARAY!?

I do when I'm talking to my neighbor, Mr. Potahto.
He's a potato farmer.

Wait . . . this ISN'T a MENSA meeting?
Sorry, my mistake. Didn't mean to bolden you.

Judging by your infantile responses and how you use the word "chill", I'm guessing I've been reading comics since before you were born. But if you'd rather discuss particle physics, I'm game. What's your favorite lepton?
