+1 would lol again

By the seven! Suddenly it's clear to me - time passes more slowly for him than for us! That how he churns out these books at such a rate!

The authors of the research article say that's going to be their next step to see whether this is something that we needed or is more general.

Indeed. I'm not the biggest fan of fracking and it's the whole "your water is now flammable!" part that puts me off.

Well I hate to be trite, but you may smoke all your life and never get cancer. It's always a game of odds.

That would be GENIUS

I agree. Admittedly I haven't read the study but there would also be things like the day-to-day running of the ship, preparing for the Mars set down, cultivating plants (I assume) for hydroponics etc. Not saying the findings of this study aren't valid, but they're by no means a death knell.

Tread lightly, ye who live in hope of pussy

in the best-case scenario like Deadwood with aliens,

You know, I understand that the crane scene is awful in an intellectual sense, but it never fails to give me a big emotional swell. I actually cried in the cinema. I put this down to my habit of crying at any swell of music, but my little sister who's far tougher than I am said it does the exact same thing to her.

And at no point in that video did he collapse into a pile of wibble. He's a braver man than I.

Mine turned up on our doorstep four years after she'd been lost (and she'd been lost a few miles from home in one of those stories of human idiocy that meant I didn't talk to my stepfather for a while). She was battered, bruised and very nervous and it took her a while to learn to trust again, but she went on to live…

That would tempt me into watching Lens Trek 2

Yeah - ditto!

I said this upthread - I'm kind of okay with trapping. When it is necessary to cull animals as part of population control, for example. But I don't like them at all. I prefer more accurate, more humane methods of population control.

Why thank you!

Hence why I said 'without any scientific evidence' :)

I remain convinced (with no scientific evidence to back me up) that someone shining a laser pointer in my eye persistently was the reason I suddenly became mildly shortsighted in my teens. My prescription hasn't changed much since then.

I'm not exactly anti-trap (I've used humane trapping for survey techniques for example, and for some hunting you need to trap) but I don't like them.
