Well, that's partially true. We currently measure years by the Earth's orbit around the sun. However, before our "ancients" discovered astronomy, they measured time based on more down-to-earth methods. For instance, time was based on growing crops- when to plant, when to harvest, etc.

Been there, done that:

I wish they would stop doing it in my backyard...

It seems quite simple to me. A reboot is when a franchise or story line is started over again fresh, rather than built off of the other entries in the series. The Amazing Spider-man series vs. the Sam Raimi Spider-man series for example. Same franchise, same story, but they started all over again with a fresh…

It took me forever to even realize what the London logo was supposed to be. Just awful.

I think the point was that racist propaganda was par for the course during the War years. It was a common method of unifying a nation against a foreign adversary. This was a different war than the type we engage in these days. We didn't need to win over the "hearts and minds" of the people of Japan like we…

What's the mystery? Consider: What do people generally put ketchup on? Hamburgers, fries and hot dogs. What do people generally put mustard on? Hamburgers and hot dogs. What do people generally put steak sauce on? Steak. What do people generally put mayo on? Hoagies, BLTs, club sandwiches, bologna sandwiches,…

It's science fiction, not history. : )

"The snow... it... it... got hungry."

So... what happened to the balloon?

The only side effect is that you end up looking like Brent Spiner.

"Amazingly prescient in its grasp of the directions of technology?" I don't see that. According to Star Trek, by now we would have already perfected cryonics, fought a war against genetically engineered supermen, and we would have developed nuclear powered space ships as a "standard interplanetary transport". This…

What amazes me is that you need a foot of snow to cancel school in Santa Fe, NM. I guess I know less about the weather there than I thought.

The Mercer Museum in Doylestown PA. It's a reinforced concrete castle built in 1904 by an eccentric, wealthy archaeologist (if you can believe that) who amassed an enormous collection of pre-industrial craft tools and implements and wanted to build a place to house them all. A concrete castle was the obvious choice.…

That was a freaky one. This one was pretty creepy too:

Boogeyman from the Real Ghostbusters. Creepy when you're 10.

I've never seen so many electric jellyfish in all my life!

You know, I always hated that line in the movie. Nature didn't select them for extinction like it was some sort of conscious act. It was a big friggin' asteroid.
