The thing about it is that just last week, Clara left while infected with the sandman thing (which, frankly, I was expecting to have something to do with causing her exit, so this week is an actual surprise).

Faygo stands alongside Arby's as one of those things I used to like when I was a kid, but haven't had in years, and, given the stuff that people write about it, am kinda scared to try it again for fear that my childhood self will be exposed as having terrible taste.

Not Pitt, his dad controlled ingress and egress to the virus. And because Willis interfered, he handed that over to his assistant, the zealot. From the script:

Not quite; it's been some time since I saw the movie, but the way I remember it was that:

That's true, especially since both of those regions were a bunch of mostly tiny, relatively weak states (with a few larger, more powerful ones as well, of course, like Venice in Renaissance Italy and Prussia in 18th-century Germany) for much of their histories. There's a pretty long stretch of time where most of…

France was the power in Europe for a really, really, long time, going back as far as the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), and lasting until the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. That's a really long time—quite a bit longer than the USA has been a superpower in modern times. Especially during Louis XIV's reign, France was the…

Or Twelve Monkeys, where the apocalyptic disaster (!) invents itself.

The thing I was wondering was why she bothered getting all the way down to the ground to test the vibrations when she could have just, you know, turned around and looked behind her.

This one is imperfect, but (IMO at least) amusingly so:

Well, not "easily"—I recall it being like a Hollywood fight scene, so it swings both ways, but the way I remember it, it makes it pretty clear that Beowulf is the more badass of the two. This could be off, though; it's been ages since I read that book.

But isn't that all in the past tense in the terms of the story? IIRC, we find out about that stuff via King Hrothgar telling Beowulf about what Grendel has been doing. The first time Grendel actually shows up in the present tense, it's to get his ass handed to him by Beowulf.

Not to mention that it's a blatant rip-off of "Baby Moses" from Bible Adventures for the NES.

It's been a while since I read that book, but I didn't find Grendel scary at all. From what I remember, his purpose was basically to serve as a formidable enemy for Beowulf to beat the crap out of, in the textual equivalent of a summer blockbuster fight scene, in order to show how awesome and badass Beowulf is. So,…

Take another look at the image I linked and see if you still think the sun is scarier.

But hopefully not in this fire:

Google Translate Nathan integrity stop inpugning. Sure, why not the best translation engines, you can find.

That didn't work out too well that one time.

What the heck? Why isn't this article about Macintosh software updates?

And why on earth did he tell Davros about Gallifrey being back, so the Daleks will now be searching the galaxy for it so they can destroy it again?

Glad I wasn't the only one who thought this. It seems that it was pretty stupid of The Doctor to tell him about that little detail.
