I was just thinking about that scene the whole time, and how Scotty somehow didn't realize he had just completed a time loop by inventing transparent aluminum. But the compound required to make this stuff is "rare" so can it even be made on a large enough scale for us?

Amazingly well said, Weed. Thing is, I totally understand why the Bible was necessary, up until about a hundred years ago. Most places had little to no legal code, so it provided that, though it contradicts itself alarmingly often. Says not to kill, then lists dozens of offenses deserving death.

Leviticus in particular…

Or they're really into psychological research. The teenage brain is not prepared for the extremely intense emotional bond created by sex, nor are they usually responsible enough to do it without taking the proper precautions. Countless times, teenagers have sex, she gets pregnant, then they feel like they have to get…

I've been led to believe, in previous articles, that there is a critical difference between the kind of adult stem cells already being made, and genuine embryonic stem cells. There were certain things they couldn't do without the embryonic variety, which were still better in some ways. I am very pleased with this.

Aw, but you were so great in Cowboy Bebop!

Really, I find that people who hate themselves are the best people, because we already feel so bad about ourselves that we're terrified of having any more reason to feel guilt, so we're always on our best behavior.

Still, this article is specifically about those times when we…

This phenomenon is not at all a conscious process. People confuse that a lot, assuming that we choose our perspectives or feelings, but we don't. This is all much deeper than anything we can control.

The human mind hates chaos, inherently. Deep inside our brains, we're still apes in the wilderness, afraid of darkness,…

I, for one, welcome our new cicada overlords.

When a failure of a particular personal responsibility results in loss of life, that is where we draw the line and limit or remove that personal freedom. The Second Amendment is clearly not immune to intensive regulation, so it applies to Americans as much as anyone else.

I did not get the final battle I wanted. That seemed very anticlimactic.

Totally looks like what that little sample of Clayface did when zapped by electricity in the Batcave, at the end of Clayface's first appearance.

Aw, you got it before I could get this screwy system to accept my post.

A sound lesson in object permanence, but... why didn't they freak out at all or bother searching after the first time?

You don't know the Eradicator? It was a Kryptonian android that looked almost exactly like Superman with a yellow visor. Same basic costume and everything, since it was sort of the standard Kryptonian uniform.

Turned out to be a pretty decent guy, for a robot.

The existence of any god cannot be scientifically proven or disproved, hence, does not belong in a science class. Science is about the physical properties of the universe, not any spiritual properties. Ideas with no evidence to back them up are pure speculation, and not scientific. The separation of church and state…

There is only one side to the situation. There is science, with evidence, and there is religion, with an old book insisting its contents are true. Science class is teaching kids the physical properties of the physical world, not spiritual matters. That should be in a totally different class, or preferably, in a…

Unfortunately, they pretty certainly have some mental illnesses themselves, just to have these delusions and take their actions so far. The very lab they attacked was working to cure these fanatics.

I was so hoping this was a version of Lady Nocturne: A Tek Jansen Adventure. Not bad, though. Sounds a little like R.I.P.D.

Wait, wait, the Franklin Power Plant is located "Somewhere in the USA?" Seriously? How can we let that go? I need information, here.

My favorite remake, and the one I think everyone should take as the primary example for ever doing a remake, is John Carpenter's the Thing. He took an obscure 1950s black and white B horror flick with a good setting and the makings of a good concept, and added the great new twist of shape-shifting (apologies for the…

Isn't this why we should stop listening to futurists? I mean, if they make a few dozen predictions, one or two could be interpreted in a way that sounds close to something real, but fortune tellers work the same way.
