That's a good example! I loved Changeling, the sword that had a gate into interstellar space in its blade.

Not to mention that modern power plants have pretty good emission reduction technology. It's still better to derive the electricity from renewable sources, but use of fossil fuels in power plants is better than in thousands of vehicles that may not have as effective emission control systems, and that's even assuming…

That's a good point, +1 for non-sparkly non-emo vamps.

Annalee: I won't eat cuttlefish or octopi for the same reasons as you. However, the squid we normally eat are simply fierce and remorseless predators themselves. They aren't nearly as intelligent nor cute as other cephalopods. They also breed faster than other cephalopds and produce offspring in much larger…

Charlie Jane, you make a good point about Lieutenant M'Ress, the cat woman, she was cool. That reminds me of something I really liked about Star Trek: The Animated Series, it was able to portray "alien" aliens, and settings. Another example was mentioned by a previous commenter, the Kzinti, in the episode "The Soft…

That's a good point, and there are only a few living TOS actors that aren't retired from the business.

Isaac Asimov once said he didn't often write women characters when he was younger, because he didn't understand them that well. It wasn't till he was older and more socially experienced that he began to write women characters that were more realistic. Some of his earlier characters like some of the Susan Calvin I…

Either that or Ke$ha's stated habit of brushing her teeth with Jack Daniels sometimes effects her ability to speak clearly.

Soon I hope, as this has caught my interest.

That's awesome, I love some of Poe's lesser know works. My favorite of all is his short-short story "Silence a Fable" which can be read here:

Here's another picture showing the cuteness of baby 'dillos.

Sure, here's one from a Flickr user in Texas that shows four together in their garden.

Pansexual means you can't limit your loving to only one species!

There's even a living-planet that's a Green Lantern, if I remember correctly it's called Mogo or Mungo.

They are interesting in other ways too. Our 9-Banded Armadillo in here in the US almost always gives birth to identical quadruplets. Their fertilized eggs usually divide and separate twice before beginning to develop. It's funny to see the little convoy of four baby 'Dillos following their mom around. The babies…

Wow, thanks! I guess you are from that region and/or know its history?

That was an awesome gun. It's originally from his short story "The Soft Weapon" and was later adapted to be an animated Star Trek Episode. However, the Kzinti Telepath trying to read Spocks mind was awesome . . .

This was the comment that made me cry. I can just hear that in K-9's voice.

I disliked Aiden at first too, because I thought he looked too Twlilightesqe and sparkly. However, he plays his character so well, I eventually stopped noticing his appearance so much.
