@SlayBelle: I hadn't looked at it like that, but damn, you're right.

@Cimorene: Very true.. Maybe the loss of donna is why he decides to sacrifice himself for her grandpa, in the end

@SlayBelle: I know, I've seen some of the brawls and comments she's made towards the former fans who are disgusted with the books now. I mean, seriously.. the writing is so bad that every book now is basically 90% a rehash of prior books, and then 10% new sex... I'm far from being a prude, but I would like there to…

@mithriltim: If you're going to talk about derivatives, really, it should be Steptoe and Son, since Sanford was just the derivative show of the original british...

@Althestane: I remember reading something recently that suggested the Neanderthals had similar brain sizes to ours, even larger in some cases, but their major problem was the lack of linkage between the hemispheres..

@atrus123: The Hobbit is a great story, but it's really nowhere near the scale and complexity of the LOTR... in fact, Tolkien himself said that he wrote the LOTR in response to the people asking for more Sauron, but that it ultimately ended up being a much darker and grown up book than the hobbit, which was party…

@Tom Byers: Doesn't require it, but it is simpler to go underground and have a smaller surface area to worry about sealing and then filtering. Picture a sphere, half buried in the ground. Which would you rather seal off.. the half sphere above the ground, or the half sphere below?

@Rahll: Indeed. The only way to survive all future catastrophes as a species is to have some subset of the species just not around when the bomb hits the proverbial fan.

@SlayBelle: Yeah, what you said. I originally enjoyed the series, but after about the 10th book, it's all been just sex sex sex. I mean really, it's basically La Blue Girl at this point.. anita wins all her battles with sex.

@shadowman90: Not to mention the waters of mars episode where he really struggled with the nature of who he was and what he knew to be true about the universe, and his desire to save someone he knew had to die, or his struggles with the loss of Rose from his life

I've been interested in the tiny house movement for a while now.. I'm not sure I and my collection of books/art supplies would be happy in 100 sq ft, but I think that something like 200-300 would be more than enough. It sucks that there are so many legal barriers to building houses the size you want to in populated…

@thelondonrich: I was aiming for the least illegal method to shut them up :)

@Second_to_Last_Cylon: Good luck with the creeping madness thing, I'll be interested to hear what you find out if you manage to avoid such.

@Ronnoc: You need something with more spaces between the molecules - that's why it mentioned heading for any obstruction you can that will break beneath you, such as power lines, or the ubiquitous awning that people fall through in movies.. they slow your descent enough to reduce impact to injury, rather than death.

@bonniegrrl: Alternately, lots of really chewy toffee/caramels/etc that keep their mouths too busy to sing.

@jepzilla: I'm a big fan of Maxwell, but Tesla still holds a special place in my heart. I actually intend naming my (hypothetical) children after them - Tesla Nikola, and Maxwell James :)

@a.seivewright: Brilliant!

@Occula: It's not so much the nobody striking it rich thing, as just the general lack of humility that's unattractive.

@Smeagol92055: Wow, Genius. +1

@Sabbatai: Honestly? I think because it's the most sharply defined feature on these pictures, it visually comes forward more than the other features. In reality, you don't notice noses as much because they don't move much - we tend to concentrate on the areas of the face that give us emotional information, such as…
