Cryptozoology's on my list. I'll get to something in that vein in the next few weeks.

I have to admit, that was a huge blown opportunity. I hang my head in shame.

What did you do, Ray?

Sorry.

In fact, you could say, we've eaten @Cookie_Monster:disqus, and he's in our stomachs right now!

Cookie_Monster? Secretly an AV Club writer? Come on, now.

He's a very weird combination of cheerful and menacing.

I had always heard the hoverboard was real technology when the movie was made, but it never got put on the market because it was unsafe and there were too many liability issues. Although I'm not sure how much worse things would be on that score than regular old skateboards.

Yeah, it's scary that a pretty significant number of people think our foreign policy should be based on millenia-old predictions made by people who didn't know the Earth was round.

I take it as a sign that we live in a better world that, when I was 8, my friends and I used to argue about, when the bombs fell, was it better to be at the point of impact and be incinerated, or to be further away and die slowly from radiation sickness. Now I have an 8-year-old, and he and his friends mostly argue

And that's such an easy one to get right! Marty moves between 1985, 1955, and 2015 - they're all 30 years apart. And they all end in 5! People should have called bullshit on that immediately! Anyway, I have a hoverboard, which pretty much lives up to the hype, but I'm still waiting on the self-drying puffy orange

Does this mean we're going to start seeing Diki Wormhole in the comments?

I didn't put this in the article because the information I could find wasn't 100% clear. But it seems like the money isn't for hospital bills, but to compensate Hurst's sister, who has had to stop working to take care of her full-time as she recovers.

Bring it, Puddinghead.

But what does that actually mean? Your brain is metaphorically a fried egg? That's not actual information, it's just sloganeering, which is my problem with DARE in the first place. You can't educate someone by not giving them any information.

People who don't want other people using drugs should really hate D.A.R.E. Because of course kids see through that bullshit. All it does is take any credibility away from any anti-drug message, because you just assume you're being lied to.

There is a page of fictional holidays, but I did this one instead because the fictional holiday page is pretty half-assed. It doesn't even include Festivus!

I'm split between thinking Wikipedia definitely should have included that in the article, and being relieved I didn't have to write about it. Although it does walk the horrifying/fascinating line really well.

I started watching the show late in season 1, and for the first few episodes, I just called her Agent Adorable, because the show gave me no idea who she was or what her actual name was. But I assumed it was all explained early on and I had missed it. So I went back through the series to catch up before season 2, and

Glad at least somebody got that.
