I'd like to throw out another superlist suggestion. Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy practical jokes.

Au contraire, mon Capitan.

So that's where Carmen Sandiego hid New York.

Actually, I really like a few Brutalist buildings, like the Boston City Hall. They convey a sense of power, as if they're built from giant concrete waterfalls.

'nuf said.

Any opportunity to mention Farscape is a good one.... this show turned out to be way better than I ever would have thought.

I'm not paying the man for his views. He is allowed to say what he wants because of the FREE country that we live in. So, i'm paying him for the damn good book he wrote, and the hopefully damn good movie based on said book.

Becoming an astronaut is the easy part. To get to Mars you will need a government with enough vision to see past the next election. That's hard.

That 8 or 12 kilo heavy thud to the floor just evoked a wince of pain in me! Poor snaky!

Everytime IO9 reports on this movie someone says this.

"You're mocking me, aren't you."

If you can build a working submarine from scratch, you shouldn't have to settle for anyone who isn't impressed that you can build a working submarine from scratch.
