@notrejardin and cliffy There is some evidence that volatile compounds like sodium hypochlorite can cause immunoderangement (there was a recent study in Pediatrics that showed children who swim in chlorinated pools more than 1000 hrs before the age of 14 are at higher risk for asthma and allergies). In addition,…

One-at-a-time shots are a bad idea due to the shots and boosters needing to be administered within optimal time frames in order for the immune system to develop the appropriate response. Switching to a "modified schedule" of one-off shots increases the likelihood that a child will develop incomplete immunity.

In King Worm @ about 7 minutes in, the Finn in the mirror is not just nose Finn, he also has a robotic arm. Not only that, but he also has a weird strap across his midsection as nose Finn and mirror Finn.

Yeah, well… George Lucas can be called on that BS because of the whole Luke-and-Leia-kiss thing. Obviously, he didn't know at that point he was going to make them be brother and sister.

The reason they cracked up, and it's a fairly good reason, is because you mixed "voices" in one short phrase — the "Boy, sir" is very earnest and polite, and the "dog shits" is very vulgar and crass.

I hate Glee!
I don't understand it's appeal at all.

To be fair, like 99% of animalia are descendants of a single type of worm. Humans are just fancy worms (and so are cats, dogs, monkeys, ants, snakes, birds, etc). So, it's not too far out of the realm of possibility that, if you seeded life on other planets with a successful progenitor like our "mother worm", you'd…

ToddG, you watch TNG on your phone in the gym, too?!

I agree that Princess and the Frog was pretty awful. This, on the other hand, was entertaining and fun. Maybe not an instant classic, but I thoroughly enjoyed it (whereas I was inwardly groaning through much of Princess and the Frog). Hell, I even needed the 3D glasses at the end to mask the…uh, something that got…

I read all the books the day they came out (does that qualify me enough for fandom?), but I liked some parts of the books and didn't really like others. If this movie is true to the first half of the last book, then I agree with Tasha's review, because DAMN that half was dull. I'm glad she gave it a "C" — that's…

I totally hope it was. What is George R R Martin doing with his time, anyway? Did he discover internet porn five years ago or something?

Oh, I totally thought you were making a subtle jab at Piller, Zack.

Yeah, when he decides to kill Fajo and there's no emotion or anything in his face, it's just perfectly pacifistic…shudder. Better than the Terminator.

Billy, that's my order too. Or:

Oh good lord, the memory of those corpses sitting up is so scary — I wonder how it'll play when I rewatch?

The original plan was to make the Borg remove one of Picard's arms for the cybernetic arm, which would later need to be replaced with a prosthesis.

For shure, Data's got language processors instead of a UT. So…that would mean that he can speak and understand every known language (I think? Though I think he only speaks Klingon and French that we see), but doesn't have access to the "mind information" the UT usually provides? I guess that would make it a little…

steph5555, good point. I guess the political process is one in which you can't depict a lot of reset button pushing without being pretty unrealistic.

Good point! I'd even go so far as to argue that most native speakers don't know the literal meaning/etymology of the idioms they use, since we learn the idiomatic meanings first/only.
