I'm wondering if the cremation thing isn't just a ruse from the Master/Cybermen to get more people to leave their bodies to the care of 3W (i.e. cyberconversion). Cremation would certainly spoil any plans to use human wetware

It strikes me that any definition that lumps big lumps of rock in the same category as gas giants, but in a different category from other big lumps of rock is always going to be flawed.

Is the Einstellung Effect the best explanation for observations around creativity and expertise? Or is it simply a good one?

So she called the exterminator in to remove unwanted pests from her spare room

A few years ago I watched Fight Club, Identity and Secret Window for the first time within the space of about a week. I wanted to throw the TV…

It's Saturday here and I'm home with my unwell daughter. She made me watch the Hunger Games and I made her watch Gremlins. And we're both happy with each other's choices.

I never understood the fascination people have with the Usual Suspects. The "twist" is practically screaming at you from a few minutes into the movie

"But on a small scale ... this could be huge"

Our choice was technology or absolution
