Humans who believe that humankind is incapable of doing anything but wrecking the planet are, in some ways, bringing the destruction of the planet about.

If you grant me this power, I promise to use it only for good and light.

I always thought Indy was what the commenter says he was. I can't do the frame-by-frame, but I"m pretty sure that was heavily implied in "Raiders".

Oh goodie, a "darker" version of superheroes. We never see any of those.

I think, as a general rule, it's always good to remember that you live in a bubble of your own creation and you should attempt regularly to reach outside it. Whether you read a different book once in a while, have a real friend who is of a different political bent, listen to different music, or watch different…

"The iPhone is about as subversive as a bag of potato chips, and music doesn't define anyone anymore."

I know it's cool to laugh at the yokels who watch Fox News but they're vaccinating their kids. Science and all.

Depends. In general, I'll replace something if fixing it cost me more in time and materials than the replacement or if the replacement is more costly but is better, IMO, than what I already have.

I can't hear you guys over the shouting of Solar Pons to Sherbet Lock to get off his ridiculous name for a Holmes "inspired" character lawn.

I would not spoil the plot for the world, but read this book.

Sure. I was a school kid in the 70s/80s and was taught we were careening toward a new ice age and that we'd be out of oil in just a couple few decades.

Earth reverted to the last save.

Hill said. "I love the original Tales from the Darkside, The Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone, but I think in a post-X-Files world there's really no room for a straight anthology show. There has to be a little more.

My favorite bit is the little tiny "country" on the southwestern border of Titan called "All Human Skin". I don't know what that says about me, if anything.

"Your super-intelligent chickens can't help you now!"

Pretty sure the answer here is "Because wizards" or maybe "Because aliens". Honestly, though, I don't have the hair to pull off that second answer.

Doesn't that carry the same meaning, though? To say someone, or something, has "a certain something", aren't you saying there's a thing there for which you don't have a better phrase but you'll use this phrase to note it so others can see it?
