His pants are made from pure PG-13ium.

Grant Ward: I don't think Thor's technically a god.

There is a theory that there is an island of stability for some heavier elements. Discovering an element that confirms that theory would be big news, as you say.

Whale deserves plenty of credit for the flash of Frankenstein's lab and the drama of using lightning, and it's true that the process is not explained in the novel. It's also true that Penny Dreadful definitely takes a cue from Whale on how the process works.

Wow, another iZombie cheap shot. Alasdair, did Rob Thomas steal your parking space or something?

At some point, one starts to believe one's own bullshit. It's not uncommon for that to lead to one's downfall.

A lot of people don't know that Osmium was originally a novel about angst, ennui and sexual frustration of a student in a Master of Fine Arts writer's program.

Fair enough, I don't know how widespread knowledge of the Trojan war was. It was known to some degree, and there were oral as well as written means of transmission. And Italy was not the backwater England was.

There may have been no Internet, but the Trojan Horse was fairly well known. One wonders whether the Bjorn story is authentic either.

It was discovered on Cyprus in an ancient Minoan ruin by UN peacekeepers working for UNFICYP. Special Guest Star Michael Shanks as the iconoclastic linguist who finally cracks Linear A.

And that Parker kid pays him to print them.

Spam is just ground up pork shoulder and ham.

I often substitute things like ketchup or spaghetti sauce for the milk. Olive oil instead of butter is good too. For best results, mix the cheese sauce separately first, then add to the pasta.

I think their goal will be to make it something that gives color but no taste. They want to make a concession to the worriers without messing with the secret to their success.

It's going to be as close to the same shade as they can get it, just "naturally". That's what the paprika, annatto, and turmeric are for.

I suspect they will use the most flavorless "paprika, annatto, and turmeric" they can find, so that they effectively act as just food coloring anyway. But it came from a plant so it's better, because plants are our friends.

Well, ultimately Echo was supposed to be unlike the other "Actives" and actually exhibit a base personality, which is more similar to Liv . None of these three is exactly like the others, but they are similar enough that the comparisons seem to have come up pretty quickly.

Liv temporarily takes on traits and experiences memories of the people whose brains she eats. So it's Dollhouse-eque in that the actress has be a somewhat different person a lot of the time. And Rose McIver does well at it, though so far not up to Tatiana Maslany one-clone-imitating-another-clone-imperfectly levels.…

I'm not disputing that, I'm asking if that means that the Watergate investigation should not have been done for fear that "some day, the Republicans are going to get back at us for/with this"?

Yes, agree to disagree. I think worrying too much about what the other side might do is a recipe for timidity and paralysis.
