I wonder how easily one could learn physics concepts by not only watching these lectures, but doing the follow-up presentation and work on Khan Academy.

In the AvP:Requiem movie, Col. Stevens takes a bit of Predator technology and presents it to a Ms. Yutani. I've got my money bet that this movie won't wreck the whole Aliens/Predator crossover universe, so similar discoveries will enable Weyland's "inventions".

I don't think the crooks are going to break in to your home just to pick up that PLL IC that they need to finish a project.

Actually, replace the actual gagues there and replace them with a single red light that pulsates with the speaking of an in-car interactive voice system, just to freak out your passenger.

Shouldn't Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn be sharing the same castle?

Not really pertinent to the subject, since it's very, very distantly related, but...

No capes!

I wonder what the snap is like on these when they eventually break, and if they'll lose tuning more or less frequently.

We're quite aware that's part of the joke. The other part is that we're unable to resist "correcting" it...

Double OCD nerve-wracking: Both the Fig Newton and the misspelling of "tingling"!

Just for kicks, a video of that scene.

"Anyone else suddenly have that song stuck in their head?"

Hm... so what do these guys attach to?

I never got a straight answer, though I think that's right. I'm always told, "Ugh, seriously, just Tia."

1. The bit about the pencils was an attempt at humor, of course. :)

Went to school with a Q-tia. Lovely, friendly girl, but absolutely hated to admit her first name to people. "Just call me Tia."

Of course, the field we're talking about is (at least partially) closer to the destination than the ship is anyway, so they'd be obliterated before the radio transmission reached them.
