A lot of times people who probably died of suicide or drug overdoses get listed as 'fan death' because the shame it would bring to have such a death.

That can't be real.

That is a very good point. It's not like I think Batman Beyond is apocryphal because it doesn't take current Batman story into account. I just love that's it's awesome Batman.

I love the original Stargate movie enough that at first the idea of a sequel with original actors actually excited me (who doesn't get excited for Kurt Russell, that man is gold). But really, when it gets to the expanding the world stuff, I mean hell, the world is expanded, I don't have those questions anymore. …

"Recent criticism of the use of myriad as a noun, both in the plural form myriads and in the phrase a myriad of, seems to reflect a mistaken belief that the word was originally and is still properly only an adjective. As the entries here show, however, the noun is in fact the older form, dating to the 16th century. "

Does anyone know a place you can buy that "Albion Ale" poster as a print?

One not weird theory. Pack of swimming otters mistaken for a single creature.

Leaving very little to the imagination.

That is a very good point. Though, it is important to note that the splinter of many of the contemporary hunter-gather societies from the line of humans that lived in Çatalhöyük happened, for the most part, LONG before Çatalhöyük itself. So, theoretically, those cultural traits should have developed before the split…

Very little about Pompeii is arbitrary. The evidence in Pompeii is for the most part unambiguous and straight forward. We even know the kind of things they wrote on the walls at night when they were drunk - [www.pompeiana.org]

They have found evidence that people lived, cooked, died, etc in their houses. There is also evidence that they practiced agriculture (tools and such), but as far as I know, they have no idea where (but it had to be pretty well outside the 'city' as there was not even room in the 'city' for roads. Whatever work they…

Çatalhöyük has always been strange for a lot of reasons. Oftentimes we try to not even call it a village or a city because people in cities and villages have work and jobs in the city, but not there. They seemed, at least last time I heard, to just live there. It is a whole community made only of living quarters…

I have a dream that this will start a franchise of films staring Simon Pegg and Jeremy Renner sans Tom Cruise.

"Those hoping for a Guy Gardner Green Lantern movie... you probably do have long to wait."

Did I miss the part of the reboot where they all reverted to being 17-year-olds? I seriously thought this was a Teen Titan line up (and not just because Cyborg is there).

You forgot Henry V, that one is all over the place -

When they say 10% are overweight is that just slightly above what they should be, or are in they in a dangerous zone? Because it shouldn't be about "oh no, we might have more fat people in the future" it should be about making sure that kids are healthy. Linking it to adult obesity is not the right approach at all. …

My mom's advice was very simple "Don't be with someone who makes you unhappy."

There are actually people out their collecting poop and trying to get labs to test it. There was a episode of the podcast MonsterTalk that talked about it.

Man I love The 13th Warrior. I might go home tonight and watch it.
