If the groom and groom were balls-deep in each OTHER it would also represent an extraordinary display of penile flexibility. Tying the knot indeed.

Late reply, I know, but if people were commenting on a six year old review a year ago then I guess it doesn't matter*: Angier didn't have to trick any duplicate the first time he performed the act on stage, because there WAS no duplicate before the machine was turned on; he himself knows that he is going to die, but…

My two favorite Star Wars books were the ones with the blueprints and technical details of all the weapons and vehicles. E-Wing, represent!

Well, I'm English, and I would take issue with the suggestion that we've 'been taught to hate him' - he's just a historical personage like many others, the whole Bonfire Night thing is just a fun if slightly goofy old tradition.

I think they're actually asking [url=http://www.youtube.com/watc…]"Who raped my Mexican son?"[/url] It's a pretty dark song when you really listen to the lyrics.

"Do You Realize??" would be my absolute first choice too - such a beautiful song, exactly the right mixture of tragic and uplifting, and the couplet "you realize the sun doesn't go down / it's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round" is one of the great works of Western philosophy.

But both you and I know that there is no film in this 'camera'!

Lotta goodness in this here post - first mentions for both Scooby Snacks and, even more surprisingly, Flaming Moes! There are some tasty cough sirups out there…

Well, you're right in principle, but let's be clear here. The press didn't say he beat up a black kid - he definitely, actually shot a black kid, shot him dead. A huge difference there, and glossing over it seriously damages your argument, which is still a fair one.

Jamaica? No, she did it voluntarily!

It is weird, the massive disjoint between what dubstep "actually" is (i.e. originally was), pretty much pared-down UK garage, and what the music press and some musicians themselves now refer to as dubstep, basically just straight-up club electro. Like, when I first read that dubstep was taking off in the States I…

Does anyone else find that that Ferris Bueller intro gives off a huge American Psycho vibe? And not just ’cos of the chainsaw, more the whole inner-monologue/speaking-to-camera thing. "Don’t touch that stereo." Dude even looks a little like Christian Bale. Now there's a show I would've watched - Young American Psycho.

I always liked "pre-Madonna" for primadonna, as if Madonna represented some sort of watershed in the history of female behavior. Which I suppose she sort of does. Just not in that way.

Pretty much, yeah. The first places of education were church- or guild-based, i.e. with specific membership criteria. (Or of course there were private home tutors.) A 'public' school was, on the other hand, open to anyone who could pay the fees. Don't think there's much difference nowadays between the terms 'public…

Sorry Ledge, you can't play Finchley Road in the first third if the West End hasn't been properly developed. (I assume we're keeping to the original North African rulebook.) Suppose we could let it stand if you're willing to spend the next over in Spoon - in which case I would counter with St John's Wood.

"My neighbor's step-aunt?" "My NEIGHBOR'S…? STEP-aunt?" That slays me. I know it's just spam, but still, somebody has to actually write the original text, right? And we know what the ulterior motives of ads like this are, right? So someone out there must've thought "neighbor's step-aunt" was in some way more…

Autistic Licence?

^ Utterly brilliant.
