He does occasionally make my hair curl, though. =) No one could be skeevy like Heinlein and get so famous for it.

Well said. Everyone has methods that work for them and some that don't. I guess what bugs me the most is that some of the most "famous" authors don't really seem to understand that, and pass down their own personal experiences as though they are some kind of canon.

Heinlein was also a pretentious ass. If you're not smarter today than you were yesterday, you're not doing enough to challenge your mind.

I <3 Spidey Skellington! Now all we have to do is kidnap... er... I mean commission Danny Elfman to write us a hauntingly melodic song about web-slinging!

That's... actually kind of cool. I'd never heard of this before, but it makes perfect sense! Thanks!

This was totally the case for Angel as well. Every time you saw a wig, you knew that we were about to be exposed to David Boreanaz' god-awful "Irish" "accent". (I mean, seriously... great guy and all, but man was that painful to listen to...)

Thirded. Same problem. I just skimmed the rest because I was so distracted :/

Sweet! Weekend movie! Thanks =)

I'd of course seen him in the first "Men In Black", but it was when I watched "The Whole Wide World" that I really became a fan. Anyone have any idea if this movie is on Netflix?

I'm going to have to find and watch this film, now that I know about it. I will pretty much watch anything with Vincent D'Onofrio in it.

Good show. Thanks for the reasoned explanation — it is greatly appreciated.

Okay, so, I'd never heard of SKYLON until today, but I just took some time to browse their website. It's about time somebody started developing attractive space vessels! That thing is AWESOME.

I may be mistaken, but I believe that what you're referring to is the ability to see farther into the UV or infrared spectrums - ie, seeing a wider wavelength of light. I think the tetrachromat thing mentioned in the article is something different, where they can actually detect more subtle variations in the…

Is my logic correct when I think this sort of makes sense from an evolutionary perspective? If lives are lengthened by modern food and medicine (as ours have been) then it would be a natural consequence to start having children later (as we have seen).

No problem! :) Also, I googled the artist, and it turns out that not only does he work for the game company that produces Dungeon Defenders, but he also seems to be doing some work for an original comic as well. So, yeah. Good on him.

I can't see DeviantArt from my current location — so no, I didn't. Also, I wasn't referring to this artist particularly, just in the general trend of seeing these highly talented artists doing fan-art and re-imaginings of things which already exist.

I'm not even a DC comics fan, and I would watch the HELL out of this.

O.o Really? Huh. I didn't even think to look it up. I'd never seen any numbers, and the way people talk about it, I just kind of assumed.

Yes, the Fukushima disaster was a horrific tragedy that involved the unnecessary loss of many lives. However, this knee-jerk reaction the world had to a disaster which was mostly caused by outdated designs and incompetence (just like Chernobyl) really makes me depressed. Nuclear power is like air travel - one…

If that's the case, then we know who to avoid. I must have gotten wires crossed somewhere, as I mentioned below. I may, indeed, be wrong.
