Wow... implications for spidersilk-growing facilities? Though spidersilk strength depends on the species of spider...

Is it just me or does the witch-turned-werewolf have a penis?

I can see that, it's like how many types of humorist just don't really work especially well on most people. In his day he was a very popular poet though and I doubt any poet would sincerely call him a bad technician except for the purposes of trying to start something; and the mode of appreciation in which his…

I won't deny detesting Byron a bit, but he certainly deserves a lot more benefit of the doubt for his work than seems to be present in this board. I get the feeling I am being introduced to a long-standing counternarrative about Byron harbored in the scientific community.

He's the sadistic mog heart at the centre of the story that keeps going on, mirroring us…

I think the problem with translating Book Joffrey to Television Joffrey is that we are all a bit Book Joffrey for watching the show in the first place. You have to have a bit more distinction.

I didn't think this was that much of an issue, in the sense that it is a movie after all, and it isn't going to get the science right this early on — they might just have invented some sort of innovative state allowing for the necessary plethora of interactions in-dream as a control that prevents the defences/targets…
