They're a little trashy, but well paced and fun enough for a good read, with a few thought-provoking ideas thrown in for good measure. They're not as "adult" as SOIAF but not too kiddie-ish either (they'll make for big-audience PG-13 movies), and move too quick for one to notice all the other fantasy and sci-fi stuff…

Yeah, I sorta regret I started this, but your density estimate is off (think—your figure of .11 lb/ft^3 is equivalent to the weight of one and a half twinkies, when it should be more like 192 (using your figures) in a cubic foot. The density according to your numbers should be 15.38 lb/ft^3; otherwise, your…

Love the quote, but it's always at that point in the movie that my stupid math brain insists on noting that a 35 foot twinkie would weigh waaay more than 600 pounds, and that Egon, out of anyone, would know this.

Please tell me you had to look that up.

That was the strangest sensation—I was saying, "Christ, they need a Coulier cameo in this thing!" and NOT 20 SECONDS LATER!!!…

Excellent uninformed opinion.  Phineas and Ferb is extremely entertaining (I have not associated children to blame my viewing on) and has made me reject my knee-jerk rejection of the Disney channel, although I still find the need to change the channel during commercials (even brief viewings of Selena Gomez vehicles…

Thanks for taking the bullet. I'm getting sick of being that guy. (Oh, yeah—they're mustelids, as are minks and badgers (and wolverines, for that matter).)
