I think a lot of fans assumed, as it wasn't mentioned (to my recollection) again, that it was sort of retconned out... Like voyagers Paris and Janeway's evolution, devolution, babies plotline thing.

That sounds familiar to my experience working through uni. We were the night crew, and between us (8 people) had 6 degrees, 4 undergrads, 2 post grads and 18 (that I know of) certifications. We made burgers for a living. But yes, we were great conversationalists!

When I was a teen (a decade ago now, oh god) my friend received an unsolicited picture or a classmates penis. We were all (all girls) at a sleepover, so of course she's gone eeew, and shoved it in all of our faces. She deleted it after, and he apologised the next day. Being gross teens, we had a book full of memories,…

Me neither, so I'm taking it as confirmation we are doing the right thing! Because two anonymous internet commenters passing in the wind is very scientifically accurate, so sayeth I.

People call them fedoras, but they're often trilbies instead, cheaply made, and often worn by young men trying to be classy. I don't automatically judge people wearing them (they were a pretty big thing in the club scene in my city for awhile) but the ones who are emulating older 'class' often forget basic social…

I have red hair too (fake and bright) and was on the bus once and a couple of teenage girls behind me started stroking it... After trying to say something to them and realising they had no English, I kind of just let it slide though, figured it might be a cultural difference.

I'm a cashier, and a woman, and I often compliment people on statement fashion. Many times I've gotten hearty thankyou's as it is something new they're trying. However I never ever compliment a body part, and only if I'm already engaged in conversation with them. I never want to impose but I always love when I get…

That sounds like a really good strategy, I wish I'd thought of that! For three years I had comments every single day on the level of makeup I wore, whether I looked like I'd lost weight etc. etc. They meant well, so I never felt I could say anything. Never occurred to me to tell them I don't like to be judged on my…

Nope, I have the same problem. If my hands are on my hips I look bossy, if they're on my back/hips I look like im in pain, crossed is angry, by my sides is just, weird I guess? I haven't solved it yet, as I can't wear pockets at work..

Forgive my ignorance, but I'm from Australia and do not know how Mormonism came to be, I assumed it was around before evangelicals, not after. Can you tell me more about the history you are referencing above? I did not know of a modern day prophet born. It seems ironic that they wouldn't recognise him as such, when…

I'm an agnostic too, for similar reasons. (Except I grew up in a very Atheist house... my grandpa gave me a bible that 'mysteriously vanished' for example)

I had a conversation with a religious (Muslim) friend who said "You always say our books are wrong, but, can you prove there is NO God" and she was right. I used…

Unfortunately, technology is not my specialty, so I'm not entirely sure what I meant. My research into AI has led me to believe one could theoretically create a replica of the neural pathways of the brain and transfer consciousness (or at least memories) into a computer that way. If that makes any sense at all? That…

Thanks for the reply; I guess work-spaces aren't the most important place to be open and honest about it, in the grand scheme of things.

After coming back from working overseas, I've realised that the most futuristic thing I've never appreciated before is Hot Water and Cosmetics. I don't need to even use a cold water tap in my current house, I can set the temperature to exactly how I like it. In the town I was staying in overseas, I had a tap and hose…

I know this is beside the point of your original convo-starter

I mentioned it further up but thought I'd ask you your opinion (you're a celebrity round these parts!) My body has a chronic condition, however my brain does not, so while I'm young now it's not too hard physically, but the older I get the more chances of developing dementia or other diseases occur. Do you think it's…

What I would really love is for my brain and personality to be saved, most likely as part of an operational bio-tech computing system. I have a great thirst for knowledge, but an adrenal (chronic) problem that makes seeking it out beyond a computer hard. As a 9o year old, I'll probably still want to do what I'm doing…

Because they had a control group that was just given the vitamin instead; they did all the same things but did not have the same reactions. This article didn't really report on that aspect of it unfortunately.

They first needed to test that the pills had an effect, and to build up an association with the ritual. The 'placebo effect' occurs not just from the pills, but from the ritual process of giving them the pill (placebo) that resembles what has calmed them previously, with associated spray and room. Basically they are…

If you became our science reporter as well as our gross-out reporter, I would die a thousand deaths of pleasure. Umm... not to be creepy or anything.
