You're stuck in a temporal loop! I think Star Trek had a solution to that puzzle, it involved an android and a deck of cards.

The city is abandoned, and yet he still somehow has peers around, just to mock him? That's just plain unfair.

"I have made love to many fine ladies from the lowliest bus station skank to the classiest most sophisticated, educated, debutant, high society… bus station skank."

No, it's only a small portion of people that are terrible, but wherever the proportion exceeds 4% civil discourse becomes impossible there.

I take the Metro to work, and when we stop at the Pentagon there are often ads that literally refer to littoral weapons and it leaves me … confused.

Then there was the time when I was training to become a materials scientist and discovered there was a reference book called Concrete Abstract.

My friend kept yelling this whenever she appeared on screen in Best In Show.

I received the novelization of "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" when I expected to receive the graphic novel. No wonder it was so cheap! I kept it (because it's ridiculous) but I never read it (I've not yet been that bored … though I am curious).

So he claims. To his nephew. Ew.

That's how I watch Scorpion. It takes place in a fictional parallel universe where knowledge of science-y factoids bends reality, such that the right materials are always magically present and the long-shot attempts at resolving situations always work out after all.

The severe head trauma ones make me flinch. That could literally kill you. Or lead to all sorts of disorders that linger for life. Early onset dementia?
