Koko remembers and still discusses her first kitten that died, so a human who dies is something I thing she probably understands. Ethics do not come into play, she remembered him and his visit as well as having tapes she watches of visits she has had. Death as we understand it in human terms may not mean the same…

They show middle aged men being competent fixing things and getting themselves out of a tight spot. Isn't the whole point of Viagra to get INTO a tight spot?? Am I right or?? Thank you you've been a lovely audience, be sure and tip your waitress, thank you and goodnight!

Well now I have to go watch War of the Copraphages episode of the X Files for more cyber cockroach fun..

I was going to say the same thing, he was really the one who got this ball rolling by having his "research" appear on Unsolved Mysteries in the early 90's. He created an algorithmic calendar using the I Ching which mysteriously (his idea) dropped off on December 21, 2012. Because that lined up (how who knows) with the…

I'm a huge fan of dystopian and post apocalyptic fiction and I think the real reason people are drawn to it is the lack of responsibility. There is something highly attractive about a world where you no longer have to worry about those bills, your credit rating and following rules. You aren't driven by the idea that…

They get wolf DNA from fecal samples so maybe it's a safer albeit smellier way to collect DNA.

Time travel, if the infinite universe theory is correct would be self encapsulating. If you went back and killed Hitler (or better yet why not steal him as an infant and have him raised by people would hopefully teach him tolerance) that would create a new timeline, from which other timelines would then split off…

The Buffy episode "The Body" was significant because it took a "horror/fantasy" genre show with fun sort of scary characters to another level. Joyce was well established as a character and with her death and how it was dealt with on the show it took the show from fantasy death (poofy dusty vamp death) to actual…

The reason that Blade Runner had so much visual depth came from the fact that the art department got to work through a writers strike during the films developement. The art department used the extra time to "flesh out" the small details that they ordinarily wouldn't have had the time or budget for. So we can thank a…

Despite what Whedon said about Anya's death I think it did have meaning. Anya as a character had gone back and forth whether she was good or evil. She caused the death of her friend Halfrec by her ambivelence, being a vengence demon, then human, then a demon, then wanting it all returned back to normal and wanting to…

Reminds me of quite a few science fiction stories I've read about a public relying on pills to keep from getting sick but at what cost and controlled by what agency.

In light of three movies coming out in quick succession that feature archery I would think that archery will take an upswing in popularity. Doesn't hurt that if you are going to feature something in a movie it look as technically correct as possible but most movies don't bother. It'll be interesting to compare the…
