Every day. While I miss the quality and flavor of NYC water, I'm perfectly happy to drink town water where I live now. Cheap, clean and fewer plastic bottles.

Okay, I'm hooked. I'll watch it as soon as I can.

Can it really have been that much worse than the FF movies that did get released? I'll bet Doom sucked less, at any rate.

So let me get this straight. A guy who made a famous run of misogynistic movies back when, and more recently suggested that cunnilingus gave him cancer, and then divorced his wife, has been offered the role of comicdom's most famous abusive husband?

I can't tell whether Marvel is getting its fantasies fulfilled or…

I read the Oz books from about 6-7, and have since read a few aloud to my son. They're a great, unpretentious exercise in imagination, deliberately American in imagery rather than borrowing from Europe. Perfect for helping a child look at the world and say, "Hey, I can make up stories about this stuff."

First, because every kid deserves a grounding in the classics.

I realize that for many people, Trevor was the Jar Jar Binks of the Iron Man franchise. I'm not one of them, and hope he sticks around in whatever capacity. But really I just came here to compare him to Jar Jar.

Buit I'd love it if the Comedy Central people had the Rock stand in for an episode. Or maybe until the first commercial break.

Or, failing that, discovering that if you try to time-travel by slingshotting around a star, you have to get the math juuuuust right ...

The earth around the sun doth go
And causeth Galileo woe.

Yup. My first thought as well. Somebody, someday, will want to create an app that records data from one of these — how long it takes to do its job, what level of stimulation works best for you personally, or things even more revealing than that — and uploads it, for some reason that will (almost) make sense at the…

The French did just that, in 1066. And although the impact on English culture was vast, it's pretty easy to discern a continuous sense of English national identity.

Great choice. I mean, it's not obscure or anything — people read it at the time, and Jack Knight has shown up once or twice since then, as a side player in stories about Courtney Whitmore. But I never hear it talked about in the sort of awestruck tones I think it deserves.

I just don't think the adultery law is that weird. Out of step with the times, sure, but not in the same class as Arizona's restrictions on dildo ownership.

As a drunken sot so memorably put it:

It is a little misleading to say that there's nothing in the story of Cain and Abel to suggest a difference between the two offerings. There's just very little.

What Gen. 4:3-4 says is "Cain brought an offering ... but Abel brought the choicest of the firstlings of his flock." There is a notable emphasis on the…

Wait — he invented Bender? (#5, I mean) So why does Iron Man never tell people to bite his shiny metal anything? It would practically be in character.

I graduated from college almost 30 years ago. Brace yourself for a lot of dreams ...

So I'd be dressed up as the ... the building where my college anthropology final was going to be held. The class I'd forgotten I was enrolled in, and couldn't actually find.

Yup. Terrifying.
