@uncutlateralus: It was excellent - I played through like ten times. '

@Pope John Peeps II: You are immediately hearted for that one.

@Belabras: Thirst is brilliant - but is it SF?

@Arken: Jean-Pierre Jeunet is a genius. Too bad his Alien film was complete destroyed by decisions by the producers etc.

@Jeramy Bailey: Evidence please? No credible studies have found permanent brain damage in even heavy users of marijuana.

Now where's the fun in that?

@typica1cat: Aurora Borealis is, if not common, then at least not rare in northern Europe. I've personally seen it many times in Denmark which isn't further north than Nova Scotia. I've also seen it in Donegal in Ireland.

@Howard Blair: A homeless mime perhaps?

Hey - my first approved tip! Weeee!

@Rontourage: It wouldn't be completely crazy to think that that's why the birds were there in the first place.

@ElementalDragon: Whole lotta imagining and doubting going on here...

@deciBels: And how does the rest of the world organize government healthcare?

@Kinowolf:
