If memory serves, Jean-Paul Valley redesigned the cape partially because he saw Bruce's version as a safety liability. So maybe Bane gets his way in "TDKR" simply by forcing Bruce to do some BASE jumping...?

Little-known, fairly useless fact: Old Faithful is not even the Earth's most voluminous geyser (nor Yellowstone's, for that matter):

Point, Doctor Lizardo.

I'll take an Emmerich over a Bay any day.

Looking forward to seeing this, if only because I'm dreading the fervor and conspiracy mongering that Anonymous is sure to stir up. (Then again, I felt the same way about 2012 for a while, and that turned out to be too silly for even conspiracy theorists to take seriously, so.)

"And then there were Wookiees!" = my keyboard getting snarfed upon.

Okay, you get to share equal credit when this is published in Lancet.

As far as I can tell, the progression goes like this:

Yes - I was actually thinking about that very example after posting this. The test card phenomenon became an entire, very effective and affecting plot device for that show. And the BBC's old one even featured a picture of a kid - probably in an attempt to make it less scary (which obviously backfired!)

Yep, this is the exact kind of stuff that terrified me as a kid. These guys nailed it.

Yeah, because children are only ever afraid of things for totally rational reasons.

This must be why it's so hard for us single straight men to find committed partners.

Sounds like this all can only end one way: Metalocalypse.

Well then why bother reading the comments, really?

I remember reading something much like this a few years back which speculated that if Jesus really existed and had offspring, the odds are pretty decent we'd all be related to him. It was probably tied in with all the "da Vinci Code" hype, I'm guessing.

Actually yeah, it probably blows a lot more than it sucks. I'm in the Big Horn Basin and the wind here can be awful.

Having lived in Wyoming for the past two years, I can tell you first hand it definitely feels like its own separate continent at times.

So in other words, the gullible among us are about to go from believing "no one has ever really walked on the Moon" to "more people have walked on the Moon than we thought, and the last two were attacked by Russian zombies (or something.)" Great.

Forget the bigger exhaust plume - somebody get some nads on this shuttle!

Interesting first choice - one recalls how, in the first Jurassic Park novel, Dr. Hammond's very first cloning project was a pygmy elephant he kept in a cage. (Esther, are you secretly Zombie Michael Crichton?)
