I have not heard of this before, but go BU for doing the right thing.

Maybe we should make a case for plagiarism in fashion since people can't fathom that the designers who create the patterns on the fabric deserve the same protection as any other artist.

@dumdumgirl: but man would that be warm.

The thing about fairy tale weddings is that they're the ending of the fairy tale (originally told at a time when the only way women could acquire security was through an advantageous marriage). Before you get to the wedding you have to be nice to the old beggar woman, help the eagle, remember which of the witch's…

There should be an orange at the bottom of the stocking. Anything else is whatever, although in my family it is a gift-card for make-up, candy, a bottle of soda, other small gifty items, and always a toothbrush. The non-negotiables here are a toothbrush and an orange.

@Seven06Renault: Well not only does it expand the places where extraterrestrial life can exist, it also changes our basic understanding and assumptions of the building blocks of life and our planet and what is possible. It's comparable to when we first split the atom and found out that atoms are made up of smaller…

I'm just sad that this was started the year after I graduated from college, and that Harvard won.

I do not wear trousers, but for that plaid in number 6 I would make an exception. I have a crush on tartan and tweeds.

@CassandraSays: To maybe answer your question about why there aren't more period dramas based upon American Literature: There aren't as many classic American books that deal with same faintly romantic (and classed based) subject matter as English novels from the same period. When Cranford was published we had just…

@Tippi Hedren: Okay, I refuse to watch that show because Julia Stiles's Kat was my role model in high school.

@piratejennie: As do Catholics all over the world (but as it's fairly well documented, they first make certain that the "possessed" isn't really just suffering from an earthly ailment).

Flashback to Carl Ruck's Greek Myth class — aka 'sex, drugs, and mushrooms' only everything was mushrooms.

@lavenderstain:I’m going to guess that there are movies being made in India, Israel, Japan, France, Korea and in other countries where characters go off to the US to find themselves. Or similar story lines to Sex and the City but with actors of the ethnic majority of that region or country. It’s kind of like…

@Tiger_Eye: Well, i hoped to imply that he was not ashamed because he put them in his year book and not his older sister. sorry for the fail.

@Schrodinger's Cat: My neighbor's little brother loved Pretty Pretty Princess! We also have pictures. He put them in his senior year book.

@CynicalPink: Ooooh, my sister and I had that. Considering that my dad's a feminist there was no way we ever felt that that was where we belonged.

@Diziet_Sma: A slip?

@DonnaPirana: obviously, someone is going to be killed in their sleep...

@thePrototype: The best thing about fat orange cats? You pick them up and go "omg, you're just fluff!"

@bluebears: I was thinking that, but I don’t think it’s an equal situation – Charlotte’s feeling of being a loser comes from being unable to connect with anyone. She’s a newly wed but her husband’s ignoring her, her friends and family half-a-world away think that it’s soooo awesome that she’s in Tokyo so she doesn’t…
