As Icelandic strongmen go, he's no Magnus ver Magnusson, which is an Icelandic phrase that translates in English as "Chuck Norris' pimp daddy."

Yes, he is the third actor to play the Mountain! He (the Mountain) has also gotten shorter, since the first two actors were both 7'1" and Björnsson is 6'9". Also, if we go by actor's age and not character age from the books, the absolute soonest Gregor could have smashed Sandor's face into the fire would be when the…

The average height of a Viking back then was 5'7", while the average height in europe was just a bit below that. Also, the Viking society was FAR from being homogeneous, so they had plenty of dark haired and some redheads people along the blondes. Them being a race of blonde towering giants is as true as their…

I wish The A-Team film with him and Liam Neeson had done better in the box office. That cast was entertaining, even if the story wasn't fantastic. I appreciated Copley's Murdock.

lol cant argue with that loophole, but its still worked in the past. One could even argue taiwan and south korea are all democracies which were founded using US military assistance.

We might be... I'm excited that CoD has stopped pretending and has finally gone nuts.

House of CoDs.

I knew it.

This looks absolutely nothing like previous Call of Duty games. The idea of being able to blast around rooftops and cloak seems more like Crysis, if anything.

what am I looking at here? The warrior after he had a drunken one night stand with a fatty? Note the warrior jizz on the right breast. Must've come from parts unknown

That sounds amazingly ridiculous! The whole thing is just the latest iteration of alchemy, the search for the fountain of youth, cryogenics, etc. All of those people earnestly felt that the end of death was near, no dice so far.

But old experts also get set in their ways. They get invested in old ideas. Especially since knowledge can be transmitted more easily than ever. The scientist teaches and writes and passes on their knowledge to the next generations, then they pass the baton. And I find the idea that a scientists' life is more valuable…

There's a huge difference between telling a lie such as the idea that if one just denies aging enough, they won't die, and being more realistic by doing what one can to live their life to the fullest as long as possible.

I was at a Transhumanism conference years ago. This isn't a philosophy, it's the fanciful dreams of the privileged.
